5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Balmoral Crescent, West Molesey KT8

An extended 1930s four/five bedroom, two bathroom, family home in popular Molesey side road near the River Thames, benefitting from a superb 80ft rear garden featuring an excellent garden room/cabin and driveway parking at the front for two cars.

This traditional and much-loved family home has been extended and re-modelled in phases during the current owner's tenure - approaching 20 years. There's been a number of overall improvements, but the main works carried out in 2010 involved a part double/part single storey side extension and single storey front extension following demolition of the existing garage.

This has created exceptionally versatile living space with an additional ground floor room with an adjoining shower room. It is currently set up as study but would make an ideal music room being semi self-contained (outside wall) or perfect for dependent relative or multi-generational use as a g/f bedroom.

The remaining ground floor accommodation enjoys a natural flow, and comprises a good size entrance hall complete with useful pull-out understairs storage. These houses were originally designed with two separate reception rooms, however, it is now open to provide superb free flowing living with good interaction. A lovely front room with wood burner gives way to a central dining area. This, in turn, is open to a bright kitchen / family room measuring abt. 16 x 13ft (4.91 x 3.93m). This room features a peninsula breakfast bar, seating area, and two sets of twin-doors opening to the garden terrace.

Off from the kitchen is a beautifully fitted utility room - arguably an extension to the kitchen - with excellent storage, sink, composite stone works tops and space for a plumbed American fridge/freezer - (it should be noted this is in addition to an undercounter fridge and separate freezer in the main kitchen area).

Upstairs, you will find the landing opening to four bedrooms (three doubles and a single) and the main family bathroom. There is a hatch with loft access in the front bedroom with pull-down-ladder.

Externally, the rear garden is a great asset, incredibly private and backing onto other gardens at 90 degrees. It is mainly lawned with established side borders, two terraces, one next to the house and second a sizable terrace laid with Indian sandstone; an excellent space for large family gatherings / outdoor entertaining with use of a garden room (insulated roof and power) which the owners have made into their own bar/games room. This space could alternatively be used as a gym / hobbies room or workspace. Attached to the cabin is a useful 'Dad's shed' fitted out with shelving. The front garden has a gravelled driveway and includes a secure bike store.
