A Victorian mansion on the ridge
Nutfield Priory was built in a Gothic Revival style inspired by the Palace of Westminster, and its position on Nutfield Ridge gives it views out across the surrounding countryside.
An older village away from the railway
Unlike South Nutfield, which grew up around its own station, the older village of Nutfield retains a more traditional layout around its church, without the railway-driven expansion seen nearby.
Tandridge's western edge
Nutfield falls within Tandridge District Council, a different planning authority from the borough covering Reigate, despite sitting only a few miles away.
