4 bed detached house for sale

The Drive, Wallington SM6

The Home

Set behind a generous driveway with a large garage, the home welcomes you with a bright and spacious entrance hall.

Stepping inside, you are greeted by a welcoming and spacious hallway which includes a convenient downstairs W.C. The generous lounge is bathed in natural light with its deep bay windows and there is an original victorian fireplace which adds warmth and character.

The ground floor is particularly noteworthy for its spacious, well-appointed country style kitchen and separate, large dining room, which offers ample room for large family meals or social gatherings.

A practical utility room and basement area further enhances the home’s convenience. A side garage and driveway space for 2-3 cars complete this level.

On the first floor, you will find four spacious double bedrooms along with a family bathroom.

The generous plot boasts a large rear garden featuring substantial outhouses including a beautifully built summer house. This versatile space is perfect for a home office, a gym, or simply for additional storage, providing flexibility for modern living. The garden is truly a highlight, offering a secluded, sun-drenched West-facing retreat that has clearly been cherished. This large, established rear garden is mainly laid to lush lawn, bordered by an abundance of mature shrubs and vibrant flowers that provide year-round colour and privacy. The generous patio area, perfectly positioned to overlook the sprawling green space, is ideal for alfresco dining and sophisticated summer entertaining.

Adding to the immense potential, the property has previously been granted planning permission for a side extension and a loft dormer extension. While this permission has since lapsed, it highlights the significant scope to substantially enlarge the house, offering the potential to add extra bedrooms and living areas, and allowing for a truly bespoke design to suit your family's needs.

This is more than a house; it's a blank canvas in a prime location, ready for you to create your dream home.
