Homes in Cheam
Cheam Village has some historic timber-framed and Georgian buildings, surrounded by interwar semis and detached houses. North Cheam and Worcester Park have interwar suburbia with some post-war houses and flats.
Nonsuch Park borders the area. Many interwar houses have mock-Tudor details, bay windows and tile-hung gables, and many have been extended. The ground includes London Clay and some chalk, with mature trees in many streets. Cheam is popular with families, partly because of its schools, and prices are high. Many interwar houses here were built to a high standard, but many have been extended and altered. Worcester Park and Stoneleigh have more affordable interwar semis close to the railway.
Areas we cover include Cheam Village, North Cheam, Worcester Park, Stoneleigh.
