Homes in Wallington
Wallington has Victorian and Edwardian houses near the station, interwar semis and detached houses, and post-war estates at Roundshaw on the former Croydon Airport site. Beddington has older cottages near the Wandle and some industrial land.
Hackbridge has the BedZED eco-village, completed in 2002, and newer developments. The River Wandle runs through, bringing localised flood risk. Chalk to the south and gravels to the north give mixed ground conditions. Prices are lower than Carshalton and Cheam, attracting first-time buyers and families. Wallington has strong rail links into central London. Many interwar houses have been extended into the loft or to the rear, and buyers should check approvals.
