Description

This historic residence in Surrey carries a rich heritage, linked to the early yeoman Thomas Chennell. It presents a unique investment opportunity to acquire a property that holds not only character but also substantial potential for renovation. The interior space is ample and versatile, featuring three double bedrooms and three bathrooms, with one bedroom functioning as a self-contained annex complete with its own kitchen—ideal for accommodating guests or creating a private workspace. The property's layout encourages flexible living arrangements and is perfect for multi-generational families. One of the remarkable aspects of this home is its expansive garden, which includes beautifully aged walls that offer warmth and shelter, creating idyllic spots for relaxation. A whimsical maze inspired by the hedges of Hampton Court adds a distinctive charm to the outdoor area, enhancing its appeal. Additionally, there is significant potential for expansion; the generous plot allows for the possibility of extending the property into a five-bedroom family home (subject to planning permission), without compromising valuable outdoor space. Located in the sought-after village of Shalford and just minutes away from Guildford’s amenities and countryside pathways, this property combines historical significance with modern practicality. Its layout, garden features, and expansion possibilities make it a compelling candidate for renovation enthusiasts looking to create their ideal home.
