5 bed detached house for sale

Waterhouse Lane, Kingswood, Tadworth KT20

Tucked away on a private, tree-lined driveway off Waterhouse Lane, Silver Trees is a distinctive detached home built in the late 1950's, set on a generous plot, presented to the market for the first time in over 40 years. With over 3,700 sq ft of space, it offers exceptional scope to refurbish, extend or redevelop (STPP), including potential for two new homes. A rare chance to create something truly special in this sought-after village setting.

The common misconception about Kingswood properties, is that they are all huge modern mansions on small plots, each one occupied by some rich sportsman or overseas buyer. The reality, of course, is really very different, and Silver Trees is as good of an example as I can think to show just how diverse the Kingswood housing stock is. With its own tree-lined private graveled driveway leading from Waterhouse Lane, one instantly gets the sense that they are about to see something just that little bit out of the ordinary, and you wouldn`t be disappointed. What meets you, is a distinctive architect detached home, straight out of the seventies, and you just know that every element of this home will be genuine, probably with very few owners, and almost certainly the current owners have cared much for this absolute gem, over a time span of several decades. What follows as you enter Silver Trees just confirms your suspicions, with its sprawling layout and endless features, across a total footprint of 3766 sq ft, as the floor plan will demonstrate.

But there is so much more to this rare opportunity, and the options of what you can do to this site seem almost endless; from refurbishing and possibly extending ( subject to local authority planning ), to perhaps getting permission to replace the existing house with a new, bigger Silver Trees, or perhaps even look at the possibility of building two new homes on the plot, in place of the current one. And so it is with this overview, that we are delighted to offer what we believe to be the rarest of homes, all sitting within it`s private plot of close to 0.75 of an acre, situated on the edge of Kingswood village. For further information, to discuss the options further, or indeed to arrange to see the site in person, please contact Peter Kennedy, who is acting on behalf of the estate of the late owners.
