It is one of the most desirable places to live on the Surrey Downs, with its undulating countryside, winding private and leafy lanes with substantial homes and gardens. Most homes are within a few minutes’ walk of Kingswood station providing commuter access to London Victoria, London Bridge and East Croydon. Both London Heathrow and London Gatwick airports are easily accessed by road via the M25 which is a 5 minute drive away.

History
The history of Kingswood Warren can be traced back to the Domesday Book. The grounds were acquired by Thomas St Leger Alcock in 1835 and over the years the mansion was also the home of Henry Orme Bonsor MP and Joseph Rank, who had founded the milling empire bearing his name.
Archaeological finds in Lower Kingswood have revealed that early Stone Age man was active in our area as long as 350,000 years ago.
