In the Royal Borough of Kingston-upon-Thames, Chessington is the last suburban town before the rural green of Surrey. The housing boom following the First World War created popular homes for families, mostly erasing Chessington's ancient village. St Mary's Church survived but Chessington Hall fell to the bulldozers. Further south, Burnt Stub, a neo-gothic Victorian mansion, escaped intact but now sits in the centre of Chessington World of Adventures amid rollercoasters and a private zoo.
Houses for sale in Chessington consist largely of 1930s' semis, offering two bedrooms from £225,000, and three bedrooms from £235,000. More imposing properties, including substantial modern detached houses, with drives and garages, are available via Chessington estate agents from £450,000 to £480,000. Towards the more rural south of Chessington, there are individual period houses, sometimes Grade II listed, in beautiful country settings that come to market in the region of £800,000.
If you are seeking flats for sale in Chessington, in and around the town centre, there are purpose-built developments offering one bedroom flats from £160,000 and flats offering two bedrooms from £175,000.
