Description

This charming three-bedroom detached house is being offered to the market for the first time in approximately 60 years, providing a rare opportunity for potential buyers. Last sold in 1966, this property is located in one of Thames Ditton's most desirable residential areas. While the home is well presented throughout, it offers excellent potential for expansion to create a more substantial family residence, subject to the necessary planning consents. Set on a generous south-facing plot, the property features a substantial rear garden that extends to approximately 200 feet. This private and peaceful outdoor space is unusually large for the area and backs directly onto Thames Ditton Tennis Club, complete with mature planting and established apple trees, making it ideal for families to enjoy. The front of the property boasts a gated carriage driveway that accommodates several vehicles, enhancing both the appeal and practicality of the home. Internally, the accommodation is well proportioned and full of character, featuring a spacious entrance hall that leads to a double-aspect sitting room. The kitchen connects to a separate dining room, complemented by an additional study or snug with an original fireplace. Upstairs, there are three well-sized double bedrooms, along with a family bathroom and a separate shower room. The house retains many original features, including fireplaces and solid oak flooring, which add considerable charm to the property. Ideally situated on a popular residential road, the home is just moments from Thames Ditton station and within walking distance of the village's shops, cafés, amenities, and several highly regarded local schools. This unique combination of character, location, off-street parking, a substantial garden, and significant future potential makes this property an exciting opportunity for those looking to create a truly exceptional long-term family home.

Confidence: LOW

This charming three-bedroom family home presents a unique opportunity to acquire a property that has been cherished for over 60 years.

The well-maintained interior boasts a double-aspect sitting room and a separate dining room connected to a functional but dated kitchen, providing potential for modernisation or expansion.

The location is a significant asset, being just moments from Thames Ditton station and within walking distance of local amenities and schools. While the kitchen and potential bathroom updates may be on the agenda, the overall condition of the home and the appealing outside space balance the equation.
