This character-filled residence presents a significant opportunity for renovation and investment, tucked away in a lesser-known corner of West End. Nestled along a tranquil country lane, it offers the charm of semi-rural living, while being conveniently situated near essential amenities.
Originally constructed in 1840 and expanded in subsequent decades, this home features generous living space primarily on the ground floor. The layout includes three to four bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a bright kitchen/breakfast room that flows into a study and dining area. The living room, highlighted by an attractive inglenook-style fireplace with a log burner, offers picturesque views over the expansive gardens. While the property requires some modernization, its flexible layout provides numerous options for future configurations or enhancements.
One of the standout features is the substantial outdoor space, extending approximately two-thirds of an acre. This private plot is enveloped by mature lawns and woodlands, creating a serene retreat. The front of the property is easily accessible via a gravel driveway that leads to a detached double garage. The garden also holds potential for those considering home office possibilities (subject to planning permissions), whether by transforming part of the loft or utilizing outdoor spaces.
In terms of location, West End village is strategically positioned for quick access to Junction 3 of the M3 motorway, facilitating travel to both Heathrow and Gatwick airports. Families will appreciate the proximity to reputable educational institutions such as Gordon’s School and Holy Trinity Primary School. For day-to-day needs, Gosden Parade offers various local shops including a newsagent and coffee shop, while Knaphill is just two miles away with more extensive grocery options at Sainsbury’s. Dining options abound locally with venues like The Inn at West End and Hare & Hounds within easy reach. Additionally, Brookwood station is approximately 2.3 miles away, providing regular direct train services to Waterloo.
With its distinctive features and substantial plot size, this property not only invites personal touch through renovation but also holds promising investment potential in an appealing location.
