These 1930's semi detached houses have been considerably extended to result in large houses. As 3 bedroom houses they can sell for up to £500,000 but as five bedroom extended properties they are currently selling for about £600,000 (April 2015)

London Road looking towards London
The A24. Nonsuch Park is behind the plantation on the right, and there is nothing to advertise that the park is there.

London Road near Stoneleigh
This is the A24 passing Nonsuch Park. It looks much the same for about a mile as the park is screened by London Road Plantation on the left. The other side is lined with residential houses.

Rosedale Road, Stoneleigh
Typical of thousands of streets in these Surrey suburbs - 1930s residential development, mostly 'semis'. The view is NNE from Stoneleigh Broadway, and the road runs through to Central Road, Worcester Park.
Local railway history is worth considering. Dipping into Dendy Marshall's 'History of the Southern Railway', I found that the Wimbledon to Epsom railway line was constructed through here as early as 1859. But no station was provided at Stoneleigh (which in any case was simply farmland), so for 73 years trains stopped at Worcester Park (north) then ran through to Ewell West (south).
The station at Stoneleigh opened in 1932, and - simply from looking at the 'urban fabric' - it is clear that a torrent of 'dormitory' development then followed. While the coming of the railway must have been the critical factor, it was not the only one: the early 1930s were the heyday of the Austin 7 and Morris 8 - so that, for the first time, car-ownership came within reach for families of modest means.
