Smitham Yard

in London

What is the location of Smitham Yard?

Thirteen miles away from the hustle and bustle of the City, Smitham Yard finds itself surrounded by suburban areas of the London Borough of Croydon. The historic town of Coulsdon embraces the new complex with authentic local shops and cosy cafes. Perhaps more notably, the area is richly endowed with greenery, occupied by numerous golf clubs, parks, and natural reserves. Fourteen minutes away, Coulsdon Memorial Ground offers 10 acres of the tranquil green scenery with tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds, a bowling green, and a lovely café to grab a bite after a stroll. For a longer walk among wildflowers and scenic grassland, you can visit the neighbouring Farthing Downs with its pockets of ancient woodland and rare herbs.

Also, the area of Smitham Yard is easily accessible by public transport. Within touching distance of the complex, the Coulsdon Town railway station provides a link to the centre of London, while the Coulsdon South station connects the neighbourhood to Gatwick Airport, which can be reached in 20 minutes. In addition, there is Farthing Way brushing by Smitham Yard that helps car drivers get to Gatwick and the City as fast as possible.

What are the project features?

Set within a narrow triangular pocket with some greenery, Smitham Yard is spread across two mid-rise buildings facing each other. The façades of Wynne House and Smitham Court stand out with bright yellow brickwork, accentuated by dark grey frames, railings, and decking. Some sections of windows and balcony doors are covered with dark-coloured rectangular panels, shielding off the light. The protruding part of the façade, which features a column of windows, is flanked by a series of balconies with glass balustrades.
