“A big WELCOME and enjoy”

The now-ruined Reigate Castle was built under orders from William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey in the 12th century and the medieval market town sprung up around this. Trading in oatmeal for much of the 16th century meant there were a dozen or so mills in the area during this period, with two windmills remaining today at Wray Common and Reigate Heath. The arrival of the London to Brighton railway line in 1841 led to building across the area and the creation of neighbouring Redhill.

Property in Reigate encompasses everything from detached 1920s houses to Victorian cottages and Edwardian semis to contemporary flats, so there is truly something to cater to all tastes and budgets. There is a slant towards the high-end market however, neighbouring Redhill is less expensive with more new build properties on offer and a good variety of property for sale and to rent. A little bit of history

Reigate is renowned for its ‘caves’ which are in fact historical sand mines that tunnel beneath the town centre with guided tours available.
