Lower Sunbury - help help help!

[KellyBird1980]

Hi All,

Looking for some help and advice from anyone who knows Lower Sunbury.... My husband and I are looking to move to Lower Sunbury with our 2 and a half year old daughter and Im really anxious about moving to an area Im not really sure about.

We have been in Scotland for the past year and a half but before that we were living in Twickenham - house prices there are now far too expensive and we have heard some good things about Lower Sunbury.

As I mentioned, Im super nervous about the move and settling in to an area I know nothing about - in particular the street we are looking to buy in and the surrounding neighbourhood near Kempton Park (ish)

We have put an offer in on a house off French Street and while I hear only good things about Lower Sunbury as a whole, I think our preference was to be over the other side closer to Green Street and the village centre. Crazy me was looking to find out more about the area and came across the crime statistics for the street we have offered on and it seems like there have been quite a few instances of antisocial behaviour over the past few months which has rung major alarm bells!

Does anyone know what the French Street side is like? We are looking at moving to Bowater Gardens if this helps - would be grateful for any feedback or inside knowledge!!! xx

Lower Sunbury is a nice area , but like most places you have good parts and bad parts , lots to do in the area . Shepperton upper halliford and charlton village are close by and good schools .

I've lived around Sunbury/lower Sunbury /Shepperton/Kempton
My whole life and I'm now bringing my children up in the area as welL.

Hope it goes well for you xx

Hi OP - did you end up moving to Lower Sunbury? If yes, how are you finding it so far?

Hiya - do you mind to share areas to maybe avoid in Lower Sunbury? We are looking to move to this area from London so it will be a bit of a shock to our system and we want to make sure we move to a good part of Lower Sunbury :).

I lived in lower Sunbury when my children were young, my parents lived there too. It’s a nice enough area, Sunbury Cross less so, there’s lots of council housing between the cross and Tesco. The areas towards the river, housing estates close to the shops (Kingsmead, Elizabeth Gardens) The Avenue, The Burg estate, Manor Lane all perfectly nice. I’d not want to live Close to Sunbury Cross though.

Thank you so much for the insight - really appreciated! Do you mind me asking why you chose to move out of the area? x
