Top tips for a Chertsey Home Buyers Survey
Chertsey's town centre has excellent large properties dating from its time as a market town from the late medieval period up to the early 19th century. The railway arrived in 1849 but most of the housing was built in the interwar period and post-war.
Houses built in the mid to late 19th century can be found around Grove Road and Alwyns Lane and these are mainly 2-storey with slated roof housing and brick and clay tiles.
There were many council houses built in the interwar period around the Bellbridge Road and Cowley Avenue areas and private houses built around Weir Road and Bridge Roard in the same period. These are mainly semi-detached properties.
Around Pyrcroft Road and areas nearby you find many standard construction mainly semi-detached houses built post-war and near Roakes Avenue and the north and south of Mead Lane, there are houses built from the 1970s. There are also new build developments here and there with some offering shared ownership.
