This is a wonderful opportunity to purchase a fascinating piece of Shepperton’s history. These Grade II listed cottages have always played an integral part of the village’s life from their origins as a fine residential cottage dating back to the mid-18th century, later converted into the popular Bluebeckers restaurant, before most recently being converted into a pair of cottages.
Today the newly converted cottages retain their picturesque facades and individual character, skilfully blended with contemporary style interiors designed for entertaining with spacious open plan living and offering all modern day comforts including a useful guest cloakroom.
Both cottages have a separate sitting room to the front and large open plan living space to the rear with central comprehensively fitted kitchens complemented by granite worktops and NEFF integrated appliances. French doors open onto the private 40’ walled westerly backing gardens that are split level with raised lawns to rear.
To the first floor, each cottage has two double bedrooms all with built-in wardrobes and the main has an ensuite shower room. Completing the package are the family bathrooms that have been beautifully appointed with modern white suites.
The cottages are situated in the historic area of the village, locally known as "Old Shepperton" opposite the picturesque Church Square with its fine Norman Church public house and hotels. To the rear of the Church is Ferry Square, with its slipway and panoramic views over a tranquil stretch of the River Thames. Both squares offer free public parking and there is additional public parking at Manor Park. Shepperton Lock is within a half mile stroll and the River Thames offers a range of recreational facilities including Desborough Sailing Club, white water canoeing at the weir, open water swimming on Ferris Lake and trout fishing at Halliford Mere. The Thames Path runs through Shepperton from the Thames Flood Barrier at Woolwich to the source of the Thames at Kemble in Gloucestershire. Shepperton’s traditional bustling High Street is within a 0.4 mile walk and the mainline station (London Waterloo 53 minutes) is only 0.7 mile. For the motorist, junction 13, M25; junction 1, M3 and the start of the A316 to London are all within 3.5 miles drive.
