House For Sale £1,050,000
Templemere is a secluded private development of 65 houses in 12 acres of landscaped gardens and woodland, backing onto the Broadwater Lake, mid-way between Walton-on-Thames and Weybridge town centres.
This particular example of one of the larger four bedroom houses, is possibly the best we’ve seen, having recently been completely and comprehensively renovated by our clients with the help of a well-respected local architect very much in keeping with the original Span design and ethos. Aside from the obvious superbly finished cosmetic improvements, the windows have been replaced throughout, with solar glass to the rear, an Eco-friendly air source heat pump fitted, new insulation, a new heating system with thermostats in each room, a full re-wire, a new bespoke oak staircase with integrated lighting and high-quality wooden flooring to list just a few features added and improvements made.
The kitchen offers a high-quality finish with four Siemens integrated ovens offering microwave and steamer options too, a Bora hob and Quooker tap providing instant chilled, sparkling and boiling water.
The main reception enjoys a broad view over the well-tended communal grounds, and the dining room and study both have a view via almost full height glazed doors over the garden. All of the bedrooms are a good size and like many of the other spaces feature bespoke carpentry. The bathroom, like the rest of the accommodation, is exquisitely detailed and finished.
The rear garden has been planted and landscaped very well and usefully provides direct access to the generous garage, which has also recently been re-roofed. Residents parking is provided around the development amongst the grounds.
The accommodation both up and downstairs flows well and could be suited to a variety of uses from family needs to entertaining and working spaces. The finish and attention to detail that has gone into the restoration really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.
Built in 1963 by Span developments who were renowned throughout the 1960's and 1970's for their award-winning architect designed developments, with Templemere being possibly the best known of their developments in the Weybridge area.
So highly regarded was its design that in period it won the coveted Civic Trust Award which recognises the very best in architecture, urban design, planning and landscape and is still awarded to this day being the longest standing architectural and built environment awards scheme in Europe. Some of Weybridge’s most sought after schools are in catchment and the shops and restaurants of Oatlands Village are within a quarter of a mile.
