Leisure facilities
The town of Caterham is situated in the Tandridge District of Surrey, formerly the Anglo-Saxon administrative division named the Tandridge hundred, a historic geographic division previously used to divide a larger region into smaller administrative divisions.
The town divides naturally into Caterham-on-the-Hill and Caterham Valley. Caterham-on-the-Hill developed in the 12th century and is home to St Lawrence Church. Caterham Valley developed later on, during the mid to late 19th century; and as a product of the opening of the Caterham railway line from Purley in 1856, became the centre of town.
The town centre has many pubs, restaurants, shops and services including Church Walk Shopping Centre. Further leisure and retail facilities can be found in the nearby towns of Reigate, Redhill and Croydon.
There are also many smaller villages and towns in the area including Godstone and Oxted which offer numerous quaint shops, museums and country walks through the Surrey Hills and the North Downs. The North Downs passes from Farnham in Surrey to the Kent coast at Dover, and passes close to Caterham. The path offers endless walks, cycle routes and bridleways begging to be explored.
Caterham has a variety of sports facilities such as the North Downs Golf Club, which is over 100 years old and said to be the highest course in Southern England. Queens Park Pavilion also offers tennis and badminton facilities. Both Lingfield Park Racecourse and Epsom Downs Racecourse are in close proximity where there are a number of race meetings throughout the year, with Lingfield Park boasting a fantastic all-weather track.

About Charles Church
Charles Church - The Name on the Finest Homes
When Charles and Susanna Church laid the foundations of their first home in 1965, they were doing more than building a desirable residence. They were turning their vision of the perfect home into a benchmark for quality and a legacy for future generations to appreciate.
In the intervening years, Charles Church has grown to establish itself as one of the country’s foremost housebuilding brands whilst maintaining its unrivalled reputation for the design and quality of the homes it builds.
Over four decades later, their principles remain the cornerstone of every home we build. Charles Church’s philosophy of combining aesthetically pleasing designs with traditional building techniques is as relevant today as it was then, and the company prides itself on the sympathetic way in which its homes are designed to harmonise with their surroundings. Wherever possible, many period or regional features are incorporated, including its trademark brick and knapped flint combination, decorative tile hanging and the use of natural stone.
Perhaps best known for its traditional designs, Charles Church has not remained rooted in the past, however, and has evolved to ensure that it continues to meet and exceed the demands of a new generation of homeowners. That is why you will now find an impressive array of Charles Church homes to suit all lifestyles in both rural and city centre locations. Not only does the scope of its developments now encompass traditional design reflecting the prevailing local architecture, but also embraces contemporary and exciting architectural styles and breathes new life into redundant historic and commercial buildings through their sensitive conversion and restoration.
What remains the same, however, is the company’s emphasis on exacting standards and attention to detail at every stage of the construction process, enabling it to achieve in its homes a totally unmistakable quality and sense of style. The results of this unique combination of principles have been rewarded with numerous prestigious consumer and industry awards over the years.
The ultimate winner however, is the buyer of a Charles Church home.
