An imposing late 1920s double-fronted detached family home situated in a highly desirable East Molesey location within 50 yards of Hurst Meadows, which in turn, runs beside picturesque stretches of the Thames.
In the same family ownership for some 58 years – now available with no onward chain.
It is one of the wider plots along Hurst Road with gated access each side of the property. The boundaries are mainly walled and feature a carriage driveway to the fore and to the rear is a rather beautiful south, south west lawned garden just shy of 100 x 50 ft.
The entrance is formed by a central storm porch flanked by two imposing gables. The porch takes you through to a striking and sizable reception hall featuring decorative leaded glass windows, wood panelling, and a charming recessed brick fire place. Period features continue throughout with influences of both Arts and Crafts as well as Art Nouveau styles, with original tiled fireplaces, and picture rails to principle rooms along with wood parquet flooring which is present on the ground floor below the carpets.
The downstairs accommodation comprises; a 25ft long sitting room with fire place and doors opening to the rear garden; the dining room with feature fire place and bay window; a spacious kitchen breakfast room with a range of under and over cabinets and space for a breakfast table. This room, in turn, opens into an 'L-shaped' conservatory which offers additional space for relaxation, dining and entertaining with two sets of double doors giving way to the garden. To complete the ground floor there is a guest cloakroom W/C with duel access linking the front and back of the house.
Upstairs the spacious landing, lit with natural light from decorative stain glass windows, leads to all rooms, the principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes bathes in light from a bay window, the second bedroom to the rear benefits from a striking fireplace and basin, two other well proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom with separate W/C complete the upstairs accommodation.
Outside, a mature garden offers incredible privacy and seclusion - due in part to the large garden lengths also present on Palace Road behind. The terrace enjoys direct access from the sitting room and conservatory, this offers a perfect place to appreciate a lovely summer evening as the sun sets over the garden. The rest of the garden is mainly laid to lawn and established borders planted with a variety of plants, trees and shrubs and a lovely Magnolia tree takes centre stage. There is an insulated wood cabin / studio which makes for an ideal home office / gym / games rooms with highly useful adjoining store.
