House For Sale £5,000,000
A charming family home built by the current owners in 1922 set in mature grounds of approximately 0.98 of an acre within the heart of the exclusive private Coombe Estate found off the famous Kingston Hill. The Coombe Estate was home in the 19th and 20th Century to many industrialists and bankers who sought large gardens and clean air away from the West End but within easy reach of London. Most of the houses in Coombe had one acre to five acres, with many now subdivided into several units or enclosed developments. This is one of approximately 12 houses on the whole estate with grounds of this size.
First time on the market, this architecturally interesting house is in need of full refurbishment or redevelopment subject to the usual necessary planning consents. However, the opportunity of a larger footprint of internal accommodation with an indoor pool and space for a full size tennis court could be an ideal replacement dwelling. The plot may also be subdivided, subject to planning and title.
Currently the accommodation offers approximately 3,518 ft 2 (326m2) and an additional 1,657 ft2 (154m2) of outbuildings with 7 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 3 reception areas, kitchen and separate breakfast room.
