3 bed detached house for sale

Hurst Road, East Molesey KT8

A late 1920s three bedroom, two bathroom, detached house in a highly popular and much requested East Molesey location close to the River Thames (Nr. Molesey Lock), and just a stone's throw to Hampton Court Station (zone 6) and the village area of Bridge Road.

A rare opportunity to acquire a traditional, two storey, family home with own driveway to garage and generous front and rear gardens. The property is modernised and well cared for and still retains character features reminiscent of its age. Features include good room proportions, imposing brick fireplace, original wood flooring, panelled doors (painted) and leaded windows.

Already a great home in its current shape and form, however, there is plenty of scope to extend and enlarge the overall accommodation, if required. In fact, planning was granted in May 2023 for a single-storey rear/side extension, rear raised patio, as well as conversion of garage into living space and alterations to fenestration. Further details can be found on Elmbridge Planning Portal Ref: 2023/1384. This is just one scheme; there is of course scope to extend over the garage and / or into the roof space similar to neighbouring houses.

The ground floor comprises entrance porch with twin cupboards; this in turn, opens to an impressive reception hallway measuring (approx. 18' x 9' / 5.6 x 2.7m) with under-stairs W.C. The hallway is a room in itself and cleverly links the ground floor, featuring ornate brick fireplace, wall panelling and original wood floor to a herringbone pattern. A lovely front sitting room is generous in scale and provides deep bay window with plantation shutters together with a wood burner to the fireplace. Adjoining this room is a good size updated kitchen / diner with double-doors inset to a splayed bay with steps down into the back garden. To complete the ground floor there is a separate study with door to a lean-to / utility room with sink and plumbing for washing machine.

Rising on the staircase there are two windows against the rear elevation as you reach the first floor landing. On this floor you will find the principal bedroom (rear aspect) with en suite shower room, another generous double (front aspect) both with bay windows replicating the rooms below. A third single bedroom currently a child's room would make a nice dressing room, study or nursery. A modernised family bathroom completes this floor.

Externally the gardens are established with mature trees, plants and shrubs which is a great asset to the back garden with excellent privacy and seclusion. There is a patio/terrace by the house, side access, central lawn leading down to a brick built tool shed / bike store in the far corner. There is further garden storage below the lean-to.

Location: A well regarded 'tree-lined' road in East Molesey Village very close to the River Thames with access to the towpath / lock. The Thames towpath leads to the Rowing and Cricket clubs north, and south towards historic Hampton Court Bridge and Palace which plays host to annual cultural events and music festivals. By car the A308/9 leads to the M3, A3 and M25 allowing for swift access to both London Airports. Respected private and sate schools and Royal Parks are all on the door-step, making this a great place to set up home.
