Retire to Sanderstead
Situated to the South of Croydon, and despite its proximity to London, Sanderstead retains a safe, warm, village-like feel with a close-knit community – it even has a traditional duck pond and green known colloquially as “The Gruffy”.
Local retirees love:
- The high street’s independent boutiques, cafés, eateries, library —and essentials like a Waitrose supermarket and healthcare.
- Easy access to green spaces like Sanderstead Plantation, Selsdon Wood, Kings Wood, Purley Beeches, and Wettern Tree Garden.
- An active retirement with a Recreation Ground, the Trinity Sanderstead Sports and Social Club, plus bowls at Purley Bury and golf at Purley Downs.
- Excellent transport links including Sanderstead and Purley Oaks stations (Zone 6) which offer direct services to London Bridge, Victoria, and East Croydon in under 25 minutes.
