House For Sale £775,000
Vacant possession - no onward chain. Silverman Black is delighted to offer this substantial five bedroom/four reception room double fronted Victorian semi, located on one of Carshalton's most prestigious and sought after roads. A "house with a history", the property was originally home to the dowager Mitchell Sisters - who were local "celebrities" and wealthy land owners in their time, before passing onto the current owners - so, as far as we can tell, the property has never previously been available "for sale"! Screened at the front with high laurel hedges, the property is a "hidden gem" - something that you could have walked past a thousand times without realizing what was there - which offers both extensive accommodation and gardens! A central "grand" entrance hall affords access to a delightful "double" family living room on the ground floor (approx 25 ft x 12 ft) with two stunning marble fireplaces and views over the rear garden, two further reception rooms (a dining room/study and a breakfast room), a kitchen, a cellar and a more recently added downstairs WC. The first floor hosts four generous double bedrooms (one of which has a full en-suite bathroom), and the family bathroom, whilst there is another well-proportioned double bedroom in the loft. Externally, the house has a small graveled front yard, but to the rear, the garden extends around 160 f x 40 ft (max) - a large, mature, private garden - perfect for kids & family parties! The garden does have double gates to the rear, accessing a driveway which runs off Carshalton Park Road which would seem to offer potential for a double/triple garage, a substantial parking area or even a self-contained annex (all subject to planning permission). The property does require some sympathetic updating and modernisation - but all the basics are "there" - a fantastic location, amazing characterful accommodation & a a large plot!
