A cluster of old farm buildings
Several buildings in Wheelerstreet carry listed status, including a seventeenth-century timber-framed barn later extended and converted, along with cottages, a former manor house and a public house known as the Star. The hamlet's character comes from this scatter of older farm buildings rather than any single high street or green.
Part of a wider settlement group
Wheelerstreet sits close to Cramhurst and Crossways, other small hamlets that together make up the more rural, dispersed fringes of Witley parish, away from Witley's own village centre and railway station. The area is within reach of the Greensand Ridge that runs through much of this part of Surrey.
Council
As part of the Witley and Milford civil parish, Wheelerstreet falls under Waverley Borough Council, the same body that covers Cranleigh.
