Beyond the one-way system of the town centre, Mitcham offers peaceful, residential streets, green parks, playing fields, sports grounds, a golf course, and the vast expanse of Mitcham Common on each side of the Croydon Road. Serious development began in Mitcham with the arrival of the tram in the 1930s and, consequently, Mitcham has a good many houses built between the wars. There are a few older properties from Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian eras and a fair amount of new-build houses and flats. One of the most sought-after areas is Commonside East, and the streets around the old Cricket Green, which is now a conservation area. More recent developments of both houses and flats are in Lavender Park towards Colliers Wood.
The average price of flats for sale in Mitcham offering one bedroom in attractive, new-build apartment houses is around £130,000, with two-bedroom flats from £150,000. Houses for sale in Mitcham offering three bedrooms are from £250,000 and houses with four bedrooms from £300,000. These are guide prices only and we suggest that you contact estate agents in Mitcham for precise information.
