Positioned in one of the most sought-after corners of north-east Surrey, Banstead enjoys a privileged location: surrounded by rolling countryside yet perfectly placed for swift access to London. Rail links from nearby Sutton deliver direct services to London Bridge and Victoria in approximately 30 minutes, while the proximity of the M25 (Junction 8) ensures seamless travel across the motorway network and to both Gatwick and Heathrow airports. The area is also renowned for its choice of outstanding schools—including Aberdour School, Banstead Preparatory, St Anne’s Catholic School, Banstead Infants and Juniors, and The Beacon School—making it an exceptional location for families.
For leisure, the opportunities are exceptional. Residents can enjoy the expansive trails of Banstead Woods, Chipstead Meads, and the dramatic open landscape of Epsom Downs—home to the world-famous Derby, just three miles away. Family-friendly green spaces such as Nork Park and Lady Neville Recreation Ground are close at hand, while the surrounding countryside offers limitless opportunities for walking, cycling, and outdoor pursuits. Golfers are especially well catered for, with prestigious clubs including Banstead Downs, Chipstead, Kingswood, and the RAC Country Club at Woodcote Park all nearby.
Courtlands Park is the sensitive restoration of an original WW2 bunker located within the estate—an evocative reminder of the area’s storied past. This rare historic feature, thoughtfully preserved, enriches the development with a compelling sense of heritage and identity.
