New Homes in Morden

The riverside estate Morden Hall Park is a real highlight of the area, and you can pick up the Wandle Trail from there to Watermeads Nature Reserve. Visit Snuff Mill, take the dog to Ravensbury Park and enjoy relaxing walks around Seven Islands Pond and Mitcham Common; all with our new houses closest to Morden.

Add popular schemes such as the London Help to Buy initiative into the mix - where you could buy a new home in the capital with just a 5% deposit and 55% mortgage - and moving to Morden could prove to be one of your wisest decisions.

Morden transport links
Morden has excellent public transportation links. As well as a number of local bus stops, you can catch Southern and Thameslink trains from Morden South station. London Road’s Morden station, meanwhile, is one of two southern termini of the Tube’s Northern line, with neighbouring South Wimbledon the other. This gives you direct access to places like Clapham, London Bridge and Leicester Square, as well as Embankment, Camden Town and Euston. It also guarantees you a seat for your morning commute.
The Morden property scene
Morden has a lot of Thirties homes thanks to the boom that came after the town’s Tube station opened in 1926. Average prices are much lower than across the rest of London though, so you can get a lot of house for your money in the area.
