& SANDERSTEAD PROPERTY GUIDE: |
Sanderstead, which is situated around 14
miles from the centre of London, lies between the busy shops
of South Croydon and the more rural village of Warlingham. The
M25 is within an easy 8-mile reach. Sanderstead has its own
railway station, which serves East Croydon and ultimately London
Victoria, a 25-minute journey away. The station lies to the
north of Sanderstead and is situated very near to Purley Oaks
station. Those living in the south of Sanderstead, near to its
high street, which runs along the busy Limpsfield Road, would
realistically need to drive to Sanderstead station. Additionally,
frequent bus services provide routes into nearby Croydon, Purley
and Warlingham.
The high street, a collection of convenience shops and restaurants,
has a real village feel to it and remains framed by open parkland
on its west side. A further small parade of shops can be found
nearby to the railway station heading north into Croydon.
Housing in Sanderstead consists of larger semi-detached and
detached properties built around the 1920's and 1930's set in
wide, tree lined roads although a small number of apartment
style developments are available near the high street. The largest,
detached houses can be found as you descend down the hill along
Rectory Park Road heading towards Riddlesdown and Purley.
WHO LIVES HERE? Commuters, families and more wealthy
families who require good schools and green space. |
