Living in Cheam

Local History

Cheam has a wealth of history dating back many thousands of years, such as Stane Street, a 57 mile stretch of Roman road that linked London (Londinium) to Chichester (Noviomagus Reginorum), as well as the reminiscence of many Anglo Saxon settlements. Cheam was first mentioned in the 727 Charters of Chertsey Abbey, where it's said that Cheam was given to the monastery of Chertsey in 675, and also appears in the Doomsday Book of 1018.

Throughout the middle ages the area was acclaimed for its local pottery, breweries and stunning Nonsuch Palace once owned by King Henry VIII, sadly the palace under the ownership of Charles II was demolished to cover the costs of his gambling debts. For many hundreds of years up until the 1920s, Cheam remained a small, rural community.

Following swift development of the area in the 1920s, Cheam rapidly became a thriving and bustling town which it remains today.

The area has featured in multiple films, documentaries, comedies and dramas from Hancock’s Half Hours to The Bill.

Properties in Cheam

Cheam has a large selection of properties to choose from, ranging from apartments through to semi-detached, detached family homes and very large residences. Some of the grandest homes are located in Golf Side, The Drive and The Avenue, where homes can cost up to £4,000,000 and more. Therefore, Cheam has something to offer everyone to suit all tastes and budgets.

Schools and other amenities

Cheam offers a very good selection of schools in the local area including, Cuddington Croft Primary School, Cheam Fields Primary School, St Dunstan’s Church of England Primary School, St Cecelia’s Catholic Primary School and Nonsuch Primary School. For secondary education there is Cheam High School, Nonsuch High School for Girls is a grammar school for girls aged 11 to 19 years standing in 22 acres of beautiful grounds on the edge of Nonsuch Park, Sutton High School is an independent day school for girls founded in 1884 and offering Nursery and Junior School, Senior School and Sixth Form.

The magnificent Cheam Park was once the grounds to Cheam Park House, built in 1820 for London tea merchant Archdale Palmer, the property is believed to have remained in the family as a family residence for many decades until it was bought by the Bethell family in the late 19th century. Following the death of Mrs Bethell in 1936 it was acquired by the Borough, who by 1939 with the outbreak of war converted the home to a first aid station, wardens post and a factory producing gas masks. Sadly the house was bombed in 1944 reducing it to mere rubble.

Cheam Park today is a fantastic spot for families with children, fitness enthusiasts and anyone looking to just enjoy the scenery, with secure play areas, great spaces to run, sports facilities, open spaces and a popular café, The Nonsuch Pantry. In addition there is a great selection of pubs, bars, restaurants and independent stores.

If you are a keen golfer, then Cuddington golf course and Banstead downs golf course are just a short distance away.

Mrs H-W

Having tried a couple estate agents to sell our house, with no result, we tried ShineRocks. Paul Shinerock was realistic in his valuation, which others had not been and we had a number of viewings. A Christmas present was accepting a very good offer. Unfortunately, the buyer dragged his heels and then at the point of exchange decided to...

A great service offered by both Paul and Claire. Sometimes the best thing an agent can do is to convince you to accept an offer and to encourage you to pay more to get the house of your dreams.

Hi Caire, Can you say a massive 'thank you' to Paul for coming to see me. He really gave me some things to think about that had just not crossed my mind.

Dear Paul We are at last beginning to see some order in our new home and have time to catch breath.

We would like to take...
