I have been living in cheam for around 3 years. I am in love with this place. Everything is so convenient, little Waitrose at doorstep, cheam park, good schools, easy commute to central London. Me and dh are looking for a house and mostly getting Carshalton beeches in our budget. I am not sure if Carshalton beeches is good and comparable to cheam village. Can I please get expert views on this? Houses come very rarely in cheam village which makes me think that people just don’t leave the area.
