Please suggest some areas in Greater London similar to Hampstead and Esher

[colette49]

Currently searching for a safe area in Greater London (or areas where where detached houses and larger gardens are quite popular. A place that has a village/suburban feel to it.

So far I have come up with:
Hampstead, Highgate, Queen's Park, Wimbledon village, Richmond (though plane noise is not preferable), St Johns Wood, Kingston, Esher....

We are running out of options. Have searched for a nice place for quite awhile and simply have not found anything that we feel is worth the price.

Are there any areas that I have missed out?

That first Dulwich Village link I posted is fabulous, beautiful decor.

Admittedly the Moor Park one has the most hideous bathroom I have ever seen. Shame because the house itself is lovely. Money does not = taste

I’d move to dulwich village in a heartbeat, beautiful location

Muswell Hill

@colette49 Ive tried to pm you. Not an estate agent! You're blocked?

Some of those houses are a drive from a slow train station. 30mins into town?! That’s a long commute.

Do you not need schools or work OP?

St Johns Wood

Virginia Water.

You’d get a great house for your budget.

You can get a large detached house with garden in your choose areas for your budget but you will almost certainly need to undertake significant refurbishment works. If you are looking for something new and fresh you will have to compromise and either look for something smaller or move further out of town.

I'm quite near Esher now and used to live in zone two. There's a huge difference between the places you've mentioned. Esher isn't really in London at all. Are you have with a very very nice terraced house? Does it need to be detached? Any commuting or driving time requirements?

The house that John Constable lived in is in the heart of Hampstead village and is on at £4.25m. It’s not huge or detached but doesn’t need a huge amount of work to make it liveable and it has great history and is in a wonderful location.

Great little house on Abbey Road SJW on at just under £5m.

Or a beauty in Louden Road but semi-detached. Take a look at Savills website covering Hampstead and SJW. There is not a huge amount in your price range but they are probably the best place to start.

There's a massive difference between Esher in Surrey and places in London like Hampstead and Queens Park?!! They're incomparable. Confusing thread!

I wouldn't call Virginia Water Greater London! How about this in Totteridge - well within budget at £3,850,000
www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-63650039.html But I wouldn't say Totteridge had a "village" feel

This 6 bedroom one up in Hadley Green, in High Barnet would be better. It even has a pool: www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-78280879.html (and still well within budget)

My partners family are from around Virginia Water, Esther, Sunningdale and I just find the whole place completely soulless .
With that budget I’d defo choose somewhere with a bit more buzz to it and closer to London.

If you are looking for something new and fresh you will have to compromise and either look for something smaller or move further out of town

Dulwich Village is closer in than half the places on the OPs list.

For example.

Blackheath - Cator Estate (SE3) or Chiselhurst.

Try Catford. Plenty of space for your money.

Try Catford

hilarious. You could buy the whole of catford for £5m.

Epsom

agree also Dulwich could work (West Dulwich a bit cheaper but a much quicker link to VIctoria - no immediate nice shops though.

Try neighbourhoods on the central that a short walk into the Epping Forest. Quick trip into the city, leafy and pleasant, much cheaper than Hampstead or Richmond.

LOVE that house in Balckheath. just my taste

Actually, what is your budget OP? And what sort of schools do you need nearby?
