Top tips for a Ewell Home Buyers Survey
Ewell is on the line which separates the chalk of the North Downs and London Clay. The rural area developed somewhat after 1847 when the railway arrived but larger influxes of people only occurred in the 20th century.
Most of the housing consists of 1930s and 1940s semi-detached houses but there are some surviving properties from the Edwardian, Victorian and earlier periods. There are a number of listed buildings, particularly from the Victorian period, including the St Mary the Virgin parish church, consecrated in 1848.
There are also many modern houses and flats and the locale is set to have various new developments, such as the Nescot College site, Ethel Bailey Gardens and Hollmoor Lane. All three of these will offer some affordable housing and properties which can bought under shared ownership.
