Property location

This mid terrace house is situated in a popular and private courtyard development in this popular and leafy part of Kenley. Hayes Primary School is within walking distance and has a good OFSTED report. There is also a Harris Primary Academy (Kenley) which has an outstanding OFSTED report. Kenley train station is within walking distance with excellent commuter links into London.

Kenley is historically part of Surrey within a safe neighbourhood and primarily farmland until the arrival of the railway in 1856, the grand Victorian architecture which followed and the Grade II listed All Saints Church (1870). Kenley is a parish in its own right and is close to open green spaces of Kenley Common and Kenley Aerodrome which is ideal for those with young children and dog walkers. Kenley Aerodrome, famous during the Second World War for being a strategic airfield during the Battle of Britain (the most complete surviving one), is now a quiet and relaxing space enjoyed by many, for example, joggers, walkers, children learning to ride their bikes, blackberry pickers, and has an active gliding school run by the Air Training Corps and the Surrey Hills Gliding Club. The Common is a mixture of chalk grassland and ancient woodland set among gently rolling hills. Blessed with fine views across the Caterham valley and the North Downs beyond, visitors find it to hard to believe that the centre of London is only 14 miles to the north and less than 40 minutes by train, without the need to change. There is ample visitor parking on Hayes Lane.
