Striking late Victorian family home in a central Weybridge location.
Description
A fantastic opportunity for those looking to put their own stamp on a family home in a central Weybridge location, this property has a huge amount of scope for extension and refurbishment, subject to relevant planning permissions.
Approached by a gravel driveway, this lovely period home retains many of its original features. Built in the late Victorian era but altered in more recent years, the house combines turn of the century grandeur and elegance, to more than meet the demands of modern living.
The impressive entrance hall is a key feature of the house and absolutely ideal for entertaining and welcoming friends and family into your home. The formal dining room is adjoining the entrance hall and retains original character features, such as the high ceiling with intricate coving detail.
There are two further reception rooms, one is currently used as a formal drawing room with original oak flooring and large windows with views over the pretty gardens. The kitchen/breakfast room is the hub of the home and is ideal for informal entertaining, and the perfect space for modern family living. There is a sociable central island and more enjoyable views over the mature garden.
The ground floor also offers a self contained one bedroom annexe with it's own entrance. There is a kitchen, sitting room and a modern bathroom. This is the perfect space for a live in nanny or au pair or family member but could easily be incorporated back into the house to provide additional reception space.
A wide turning staircase leads you up to the first floor landing where there is a cosy area that would be perfect as a study or a reading area. The fantastic double aspect main bedroom, has had new windows fitted and offers a built in dressing area and an en suite. There are two further generous bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom completing the accommodation on this floor.
On the second floor are two cavernous bedrooms and a bathroom. One of the bedrooms has been converted into a studio apartment with space for a bed, sitting area and a small fitted kitchen. There is also ample eaves storage on this floor and a loft.
Outside the garden is well screened from neighbouring houses with mature trees and shrubs and a path leading you to a workshop and shed, which could easily be repositioned or demolished to extend the lawned area. The rest of the garden is laid to lawn. There is a large patio area leading from the main house, which is perfect for al fresco Summer entertaining.
Please note the self-contained annexe has its own Council Tax Band (Band A).
Location
Located on the South bank of the rivers Thames and Wey where the two rivers meet, Weybridge is an historic town that dates back to the Iron Age. Originally named after the wooden bridge over the river Wey used by pilgrims to the Chertsey Abbey, in the last 100 years Weybridge has become known for its aspirational, innovative and creative residents. Each generation leaving their legacy to the town through its own style of properties and industry.
There was once a royal palace in Weybridge that was used by Henry VIII and his wives, as well as other Kings and Queens. Today, Oatlands Park Hotel is all that remains of the royal estate. You can still find reminders of the original palace in and around Weybridge.
In more recent history, Weybridge was a magnet for motor enthusiasts, as it was home to Brooklands Race Track, some of the track still remains. The river Wey cuts through the Brooklands site. If you wanted to catch some racing without paying, you would take a punt up the river. This was apparently the origin of the phrase ‘punters’. Today you can visit Brooklands Museum and Mercedes Benz World at the site.
Privacy, space and accessibility, an abundance of sports and activities and excellent schools makes Weybridge the perfect location for those who enjoy a variety of interests and passions.
