Hello, I am hoping to move to Epsom, and we’ve seen a house near Shawley Primary School, so right in the middle between Epsom golf club/Nork Park/Epsom Downs/Burgh Heath. I’m looking for advice on the area?
I don’t know much about the area atm, the local school ‘requires improvement’ and I’ve not heard great things about Tattenham Corner (but this was just from one person). It is however close to the beautiful Epsom Downs, has good train links into London, and is close enough to the M25/A3 for our commutes.
I’ll be moving with my OH, DS aged 1 and hopefully we’ll have another baby in the next few years, so we’re looking for somewhere that’s good for young families but still has access to a good high street/some shops/somewhere to go for dinner. We’re moving from a very small flat in wimbledon, for more space, more greenery and to settle down (but not retire 😉 just yet)
What id like to ask is what people know of the area? If anyone lives there and can tell me a bit about what’s on, what areas to avoid, which areas are good - anything to make me feel like we are not just jumping into the unknown with our fingers crossed! 🙃
