Homes in Epsom
Epsom has a historic town centre with Georgian buildings from its days as a spa, Victorian and Edwardian houses nearby, and larger detached homes in Woodcote and College Ward. Ewell has an old village core and interwar suburbs, and Stoneleigh is a classic 1930s estate.
The former hospital cluster around Horton has been redeveloped as housing. The area sits at the junction of London Clay to the north and chalk to the south, so ground conditions vary. The Hogsmill River rises in Ewell, bringing localised flood risk. Prices are high, driven by commuters and families attracted by good schools. The Derby is run on Epsom Downs each year, bringing crowds and traffic. Many interwar houses in Stoneleigh and Ewell have been extended, and some still have original features such as stained glass and tiled porches. Larger homes near the Downs often have chalk gardens with good drainage but thin soils.
Areas we cover include Epsom Town, Ewell, Stoneleigh, College Ward, Woodcote, Horton, Langley Vale, Ewell East.
