9 bed detached house for sale

Wellington Avenue, Virginia Water GU25

The property is approached by an elegant pair of wrought iron security gates that open onto the carriage driveway that sweeps through the front garden and up to the house. As you enter the reception hall it becomes clear that the current owner has taken great care of the unique family home and whilst making it extremely comfortable for a modern lifestyle they have retained all of the original features. Polished wooden floors, fireplaces, picture rails, moulded cornice, central moulded rose, mullioned Crittall windows to name but a few. Externally the care and attention to detail is equally obvious when you look at the clay tiled roof and very impressive chimney stacks. On the ground floor, to one side you will find the formal reception room and office. The dining room then sits between the kitchen/breakfast room and the family/garden room on the other side. On the first floor there are 5 bedrooms and 3 bath/shower rooms. Of particular note, set to one side, you will see a detached 2 bedroomed self -contained annexe, perfect for staff, long term guests or perhaps could be used as a home office or studio. It is also worth noting that as this is a very ‘original’ home on a generous plot, there is obvious potential for extension or alterations, subject to planning. In the past planning was granted for a complete new build, whilst that has now expired it is an indication of what perhaps could be done here.
