Homes in Reigate
Reigate has a historic town centre with Georgian and older buildings, many listed, and large Victorian and Edwardian houses on the slopes of Reigate Hill. South Park and Woodhatch have interwar and post-war homes.
The town is famous for its sandstone caves, including the Barons' Cave beneath the castle, cut into the Lower Greensand. The ground varies from greensand to Gault clay, and the North Downs escarpment brings steep slopes. Conservation areas cover much of the town centre. Prices are high, driven by fast trains to London and the town's character. Many larger Victorian and Edwardian houses on Reigate Hill and the surrounding slopes have been extended or converted into flats. Mature trees and large gardens are common, and some properties sit on steep plots with long driveways. Priory Park is a major green space, and the North Downs escarpment rises just north of the town.
Areas we cover include Reigate Town, Reigate Hill, South Park, Woodhatch, Doversgreen.
