Description

This property, which has been in the same family for over 30 years, presents a unique opportunity for buyers looking to remodel and refurbish, with the potential for extension subject to planning consents. The generous 1,576 sq. ft layout offers a blank canvas for those wishing to create their dream home.

The easterly facing rear garden is an excellent foundation for future enhancements. Inside, the welcoming entrance hall leads to various ground floor rooms, including a 22ft bay fronted lounge with sliding doors that open onto the patio, and a dining room that currently features a lift, which could be easily decommissioned. The kitchen offers space for a breakfast table, complemented by a downstairs WC. Upstairs, four bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom and an ensuite shower room in the principal bedroom. An integral garage and a useful store room add practicality to the home. The secluded rear garden, enclosed by attractive brick walls, provides ample opportunity for redesign alongside any alterations to the house.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Willow Cottage is a detached family home set on a substantial gated plot in a sought-after area of Epsom. While the property’s interior is dated and shows signs of wear across the living areas, bedrooms, and kitchen, it presents a promising opportunity for those looking to undertake a renovation project. With its generous square footage and potential for extension, this home provides a blank canvas for customization and modernization, which many buyers will find appealing.

At a guide price of £900,000, the property is listed at £571/sqft, which is slightly above the local average of £534/sqft. However, the all-in costs, including renovation, are tight compared to local benchmarks, suggesting a careful approach is needed for those considering this investment. The secluded garden and well-maintained exterior add to the appeal, making this an interesting prospect for buyers ready to invest in a project that could yield significant rewards.
