Caterham Roundabout by Hywel Williams

Many gorgeous Surrey towns are quickly becoming attractive moving prospects for young families. However, one that seems to top the list is Caterham, begging the question, should you think about moving there?

Let’s take a look around the town to see if it could suit your needs!

What’s Living in Caterham Like?

Caterham showcases the typical features of a charming Surrey town, the benefits of an English country lifestyle with close links to the city.

The town itself is split into two regions, one area being called Caterham on the Hill and the other Caterham on the Valley, but both are within proximity of the town centre. The area rose to fame for its car production factories, though the industry has moved on to pastures new, with plenty of small-to-medium businesses taking their place.  Caterham now finds more fame as a commuter town.
