House For Sale £2,375,000
Believed to have been built circa 1932, this five bedroom family home is situated in a private residential road within approximately 0.24 of an acre, with a West-facing, part-walled rear garden. The property has recently been completely redecorated and is now offered for sale with no chain.
The property offers charm and character, with solid oak herringbone flooring to the hall and reception rooms and a delightful garden room. The double aspect drawing room enjoys many quality features with access to the timber-framed orangery and terracotta tiled floor with great views of the rear garden. The dining room also faces the rear garden and has an interconnecting door into the kitchen.
The kitchen/breakfast room offers a wealth of Smallbone solid pine wall and base units, with a built-in dresser and larder cupboard, which hosts Wicker basket drawers and a granite shelf matching the granite surfaces to the island and side units including the relatively new laundry area, which has direct access to the front. The wide range of units also comprises small appliance shelves, which elevate to the work surface level, carousel unit, ample drawers and shelving units.
The Neff range of appliances comprises 2 built-in ovens, dishwasher, four ring gas hob under the extractor fan above, tall fridge to the kitchen, with a washing machine, built -in freezer to the laundry room. The boiler room is also accessible off this area.
The study is of huge character with a delightful bay to the front. It offers a wealth of bespoke pine built-in shelving with a desk, concealed bar with leather bound bookends, swivel corner base unit for bottles, pull out record player and a built-in speaker to either side of the desk – a real rare find. The guest cloakroom has also recently been fully modernised.
The first floor is home to the rear facing principal suite, accessed through a dressing room with a wall of built-in cupboards, with steps down to a spacious rear-facing bedroom, a walk-in cupboard for further storage with a ceramic tiled floor, and a fully-tiled ensuite bathroom with a wide walk-in shower, corner bath, wash hand basin and WC. The bathroom benefits from under floor heating and Villeroy & Boch sanitary fittings.
There are four further bedrooms on this floor and a fully-tiled family bathroom. This offers a white modern suite comprising a countertop wash hand basin, WC, a sunken tiled bath and a walk-in wet area with glass surround.
Access to the part-boarded loft area is from the landing, and there is still further scope to create further accommodation within the roof void subject to the usual necessary planning consents.
There is a paved terrace, which spans the rear width of the house, bordered by a wealth of shrubs, climbers and bushes with a beautiful Magnolia and several Acers. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, with a large pond bordered by mature plants and a rockery with a waterfall feature to the far left of the garden, with further paving where one can enjoy some serenity.
The rear West-facing garden also enjoys a Southerly side aspect and benefits from the old garden wall of the estate, a lovely backdrop. There is a wealth of perennials and this garden has been a true labour of love. The right hand corner benefits from a large greenhouse and compost heaps. To the rear of the house is a large store room, ideal for garden furniture and houses the water softener. There is a paved path border by acers leading to the front garden behind a secure wooden gate. The Garden is also fully irrigated with a tank that is buried in the ground and control panel in the greenhouse.
LOCATION
West Road, a tree lined no-through road, lies equidistant between Kingston and Wimbledon town centres. Both have excellent shopping facilities, from department stores housing concessions found in famous West End Streets and specialised boutiques to a wide range of restaurants meeting the palates from across the world.
The A3 trunk road offers fast access to central London and both Gatwick and Heathrow airports via the M25 motorway network. The nearest train station at Norbiton is within walking distance, and the 57 bus route runs along nearby Coombe Lane West to Wimbledon from which there are frequent services to Waterloo with its underground links to points throughout the city.
The immediate area offers a wide range of recreational facilities including five golf courses, tennis and squash clubs and many leisure centres. The 2,360 acres of Richmond Park, area of outstanding beauty easily accessed from Kingston Gate and Ladderstile Gate, provide a picturesque setting in which to picnic, go horse riding, jogging or just take a leisurely walk. Theatres at Wimbledon and Richmond are also popular alternatives to the West End.
Holy Cross Prep school, Rokeby School and Marymount school located on George Road are a mere ten to 15 minutes' walk up Orchard Rise into The Drive, as is Coombe Hill Infants and Juniors along Coombe Lane West.
West Road is a private road with only 14 dwellings and the residents within the last few years re-surfaced the road and installed new streetlights all of which has been paid for. The residents are very proud of their estate and road and address anything that is urgent on an ad hoc basis.
