Manor Road, East Molesey, Surrey KT8

Charming period property in one of East Molesey's most sought after roads.

Description
Dating back to the 1850s, this imposing property in The Kent Town Conservation Area, on the ever-popular, Manor Road retains many of its original period features whilst benefitting from extensive modernisation.
On entry a spacious hallway brings you immediately through to the library on your left. Having been converted, at an earlier period, to a garage, this space has been cleverly converted back to a reception room with replica sash windows and a period tiled fireplace housing a real working gas fire. Fitted book shelves fill three sides of the room. To the right of the hall are two reception rooms, one front and one rear aspect. The room to the front boasts an original sash window with inbuilt shutters and a real working gas fire. The room to the rear has a bay window with inbuilt shutters and a real open wood or coal fire with a beautiful marble surround.
To the rear of the property there is the open plan kitchen/dining room. The kitchen, designed by Simon Jewell, provides a good selection of high quality oak units with black granite worktops and integrated appliances alongside a contrasting cream island unit. The overhead pitched roof contains two electrically operated skylights, which is ideal in the warmer months. There is ample space for a large dining table and chairs adjacent to double doors which open on to the terrace. The entire space is decorated with smart oak flooring and benefits from underfloor heating.
A utility room and shower room with WC complete the accommodation on the ground floor.
Stairs from the entrance hall take you down to the lower ground floor which could work as a self-contained apartment. A kitchenette is discreetly hidden behind cupboard doors which fold back and away enabling use as required. There is central heating plus a gas fireplace and ample space for a seating arrangement as well as external access to a compact patio garden and stairs leading up to the garden. A useful shower room completes the accommodation on this floor.
The first floor showcases perfect symmetry with four bedrooms almost identical in size and proportion; two to the front and two to the rear. Three of the four bedrooms benefit from solid oak fitted wardrobes. In addition there is a family bathroom and separate WC.
Externally to the rear, the immaculate west facing garden is mainly laid to lawn with a smart terrace providing space for al fresco dining and entertaining. Mature beds frame the lawn showcasing a colourful array of shrubs and blooms including a beautiful Mulberry tree and a well-established vine. There is a pond at the rear and a shed for storage. To the front of the property the gravel driveway provides off-street parking whilst a path to the right provides side access via a gate.
