The Garden Village of Semis
Selsdon grew from 1926 as Selsdon Garden Village on the old Selsdon Park estate, and it shows in the housing. In the 2021 Census, 61% of the 3,720 households in the Selsdon and Addington Village ward lived in semi-detached houses, and 40% owned outright.
Croham Valley Road, Farley Road and Littleheath Road were the busiest streets for sales, with semis selling for a median of £550,000. A three-bedroom semi is a classic job for our house removals, usually in a single day.
Forestdale Terraces and Flats
The Selsdon Vale and Forestdale ward is different: 33% terraced houses and 26% flats. Markfield was the busiest street for sales in either ward, followed by Osward, Woodpecker Mount and Holmbury Grove. For a one or two-bedroom move like these, our man and van hire is often the right size, with the crew carrying and you choosing what goes.
No Station, No Permit Zones
Selsdon has no railway station. Sanderstead and South Croydon stations are about two miles away, and the Gravel Hill and Coombe Lane tram stops serve the north. The A2022 runs through as Selsdon Park Road and Addington Road. No controlled parking zone covers Selsdon or Forestdale, which keeps loading simple.
In July 2026 the council gave planning permission for the first stage of a £30m restoration of the Selsdon Park Hotel on Addington Road, empty since 2023, and the 2025 centenary of the garden village brought blue plaques to Selsdon High Street.
