Planning a move to the historic spa town of Epsom or one of its surrounding small towns and villages of Banstead, Ewell, Leatherhead, Ashtead, Great Bookham, and Fetcham? Then you’ve certainly backed a winner!
Epsom is famous around the world as the home of Epsom Downs Racecourse and its prestigious races such as The Epsom Derby and The Gold Cup, as well as our favourite luxury pampering bath treat, Epsom Salts (the perfect remedy for those aches and pains after a hard day’s racing). This historic town has never waned in popularity over the centuries and is a fantastic place to settle down and call home.
From Anglo-Saxon times, right up until today, its mineral-rich springs, glorious rolling Surrey countryside, and ideal proximity to London have attracted royalty and the rich and powerful, ever since records began. With a prestigious roll-call of past and present residents, its leafy suburbs and villages are one of Surrey’s most sought-after property hotspots.
The magnificent Epsom Clock Tower dominates the historic town square where regular markets are held between its striking Georgian and Edwardian buildings.
There are several small shops, pubs, and restaurants in Market Square, however, the entrance to The Ashley Centre is just a few hundred yards from the tower and is where the majority of shops are located.
With over 60 small and large businesses in this retail centre and ample multi-storey parking adjacent, Epsom’s town centre provides a fabulous shopping experience along with a superb selection of places to wine, dine or simply relax after a hard day’s shopping.
Epsom is just 14-miles southwest of Central London and is now part of the Oyster Card network, providing travellers with super-fast direct rail links to the Capital.
The M25 South Orbital is less than 5 miles away, just north of Leatherhead via the A24.
Epsom and its surrounding villages have an incredible selection of “Outstanding” schools catering for every age group from infant to 18, including the renowned public school Epsom College, ranked the No.1 top Surrey school and one of the top 1% of schools in the UK.
Raising a family in and around Epsom is definitely a great way to give your children a head start in life with its excellent education system, and is one of the many reasons this area is so popular and in such high demand with parents.
Although Epsom has an incredible selection of stunning Georgian and Edwardian properties, they seldom come on the market as people who settle in Epsom rarely want to leave (we can’t say we blame them!), even though there is a waiting list of buyers desperate to snap them up.
The majority of movement in the Epsom property market is with the new developments in and around Epsom and its surrounding villages.
There were many old hospitals and psychiatric institutions in Epsom which have now been demolished and the land used for new affordable housing or redeveloped as residential apartments, flats, and retirement villages.
Local villages have also seen several new developments over recent years and this is where the main market movement occurs, with first-time buyers, growing families, and retirees moving in and around the area.
There is a good selection of modern new properties available, although if you are looking for a more traditional mature home, we strongly recommend registering with us for property alerts as they’re a rare commodity and are never on the market for long.

Clarendons are a refreshing change in lettings market. Clarendons focus on providing service rather than selling their services, working hard to forge good relationships with Landlords and Tenants which makes everything run smoothly. As a landlord Clarendons have saved me time and helped me to provide my tenants with a better service. Clarendon's fees to both the Landlord and Tenant are realistic and reasonable. Thank you.

We have rented through Clarendons for over a year now. Alex and the rest of the team have been great and very responsive if any issues have arisen. I wouldn't hesitate recommending them to anyone in Reigate or the surrounding areas.
Mr Toby Pocock & Miss Lucy Morgan
Alex was instrumental in ensuring our unit was handed over to us smoothly and was in a rentable condition in the shortest time possible. He is very knowledgeable and experienced with the Croydon and surrounding markets as demonstrated in his timely and wise advice to us. Always attentive and responsive, it was a breeze to do business with him and his firm and I rest easy knowing he is available to assist with any concerns that might pop up. Great job!
