Home Buyers Survey West Byfleet

West Byfleet developed around the new station, originally called Byfleet and Woodham, when the railway arrived in 1887 and eventually its boundaries touched those of the original medieval Byfleet village.

There are large houses dating from the Victorian and Edwardian periods in Byfleet whereas West Byfleet's housing dates predominantly from the beginning of the 20th century and onwards.

The Old Avenue area, now designated a conservation area, has large family homes with architecture of various styles. Birchwood Road's properties were built mainly between 1910 and 1920 and has semi-detached houses as well as blocks of 2-bedroom flats.

Throughout the area, detached houses are in the majority, outnumbering all other types put together. There are period flats as well as new build flats, the latter can be found in areas like Camp Hill Road and Lavender Park Road and, as new builds, Help to Buy is available for them.
