This charming double-fronted Victorian cottage is absolutely full of character, situated right in the heart of East Molesey - affectionately referenced as Hampton Court Village - with everything one would need at their fingertips; quality shops, cafés & restaurants, beautiful riverside settings, boundless Royal parkland, and mainline station (zone 6) less than a 2 minutes walk.
Miles & Bird are thrilled to present this delightful period property, sympathetically restored by the owner in stages during a tenure approaching 20 years. Alongside all the lovely internal upgrades and character features; wood floorboards and fireplaces, the 'big ticket' items have all been done. These include; a new roof (2017), new boiler (2023) and front elevation windows (2024). Other major works took place shortly after acquisition involving a well designed pitched glazed roof kitchen/breakfast room extension – the rear elevation windows were also replaced at this time.
The accommodation is well balanced across two floors and provides a rather comfortable internal floor area of approx. 120 sqm, approaching 1,300 sqft. The dining room with feature fire-place, has alcove bookshelves and corner staircase. This room takes you through to the main reception room and also the bright and well equipped kitchen with integrated appliances and composite work top incorporating peninsula breakfast bar. The main reception room is a good size abt. 22 x 12ft with twin-doors to the courtyard. To complete the ground floor there is an inner lobby with built-in glass display unit which, in turn, leads through to a highly practical utility / laundry room with W.C & sink, and space for both tumble dryer and separate washing machine.
Moving upstairs, the landing takes you into a rather impressive double aspect bedroom (formerly two rooms) replicating the size of the main reception below. This room features a Juliette-balcony and a lovely fireplace. Next door is another good double, again with ornamental fireplace complete with ornate cast-iron centre-piece, together with matching alcove cupboards; these are likely to be original joinery from the date of construction. A small third bedroom would work perfectly as a dressing room, or study and modern fitted bathroom completes this floor.
Outside, a small front garden is enclosed by a classic picket fence & gate with established and well tended plants to offset against traditional London-Stock facing elevation. The rear garden is a low maintenance block-paved patio / terrace - a perfect retreat to relax in.
Location: You can't get more central than this!
