A hamlet, not a village
Nalderswood consists of a handful of houses set among farmland and woodland, without a shop, church or centre of its own, and is best understood as part of the surrounding parish of Leigh.
Countryside properties rather than a typical estate
Because Nalderswood has no modern housing development to speak of, garages here almost always belong to individual rural properties rather than a uniform street of similar houses.
Mole Valley's rural southern edge
Nalderswood falls within Mole Valley District Council, in the quieter, more agricultural part of the district south of Reigate.
