2 bed terraced house for sale

The Avenue, Sunbury-On-Thames TW16

A truly charming and historically rich cottage, this beautifully maintained two bedroom home forms part of an exclusive terrace of just four unique bijou cottages, dating back to circa 1800. Originally built by Huguenot rope workers, these characterful homes sit along Old Rope Walk – a road steeped in history, once used for rope making and for guiding barges along the River Thames before the arrival of the railways in the mid-1800s. Positioned in one of Lower Sunbury’s most sought-after locations, just off The Avenue, the property enjoys an enviable setting within a stone’s throw of the River Thames, Sunbury Park, Orchard Meadow, the Walled Garden Café, and a selection of local shops, pubs and restaurants. Sunbury station is approximately one mile away, with convenient bus links to Kingston and Staines close by.

Internally, the property offers a wonderful blend of period charm and thoughtful modern upgrades. The ground floor features two reception rooms, providing flexible living and dining space, both enhanced by character features including wooden flooring and a working fireplace. The kitchen is well-appointed with quality appliances including a Neff ‘Slide & Hide’ oven, gas hob, Bosch dishwasher and fridge, complemented by a recently installed Qettle boiling water tap and a whole-house water filtration system. A Velux solar-powered window floods the space with natural light. To the rear of the ground floor is a well-equipped bathroom, fitted with an Aqualisa shower, Roca WC with concealed cistern, bidet shower, heated towel rail and additional electric heating, creating a practical and comfortable space.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, both well-proportioned. The principal bedroom benefits from added character with exposed ceiling beams and the convenience of a wash basin and Saniflo WC, while the second bedroom offers built-in storage solutions and thoughtful additions such as a foldaway ironing board. A particularly appealing feature is the basement level, currently utilised as a study and occasional third bedroom. This space has been tanked with a long-standing guarantee and enhanced with a recently installed solar-powered window, making it a highly versatile and usable area for home working or guest accommodation.

The property has been extensively improved over the years, including a full rewire, double glazing throughout, a new Vaillant combi boiler (2024), Hive smart heating system, and a range of smart home features such as a Yale smart lock and Ring doorbell.

Externally, the rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with upper and lower patio areas, ideal for entertaining. Additional benefits include an electric awning, external power and lighting, water features, and two storage sheds. The garden also offers a good degree of privacy, creating a peaceful outdoor retreat. In summary, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine character and history, perfectly positioned in the heart of Lower Sunbury, offering a unique lifestyle close to the river, green spaces and village amenities.
