5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Old Charlton Road, Shepperton TW17

Every so often, a truly exceptional home is offered to the market, and Coombe Villa is undoubtedly one of them. This beautiful Edwardian residence is a rare blend of timeless character, immaculate presentation and outstanding outdoor space, providing an impressive five-bedroom family home complemented by one of the finest mature gardens we have seen locally.

Originally constructed in 1902 and later sympathetically extended, the property has been carefully restored to retain and celebrate its period charm, with high corniced ceilings, original joinery, internal doors and open fireplaces all beautifully preserved. The accommodation is both generous and versatile, currently arranged as three elegant reception rooms, a stunning kitchen/breakfast room and five bedrooms, four of which are excellent doubles. The fifth bedroom was formerly a bathroom and could easily be reinstated if desired.

The welcoming reception hall immediately sets the tone, featuring a Karndean oak floor, original turned spindle balustrade and deep understairs storage. To the front, the bay-fronted morning room offers a peaceful retreat with its exposed brick fireplace and over-mantel, while the main living room provides a larger, refined entertaining space, complete with cornicing, open fireplace, built-in bookcase and French doors opening into the conservatory. This wonderful additional reception room benefits from a recently installed insulated ‘cosy roof’ (2022), allowing comfortable year-round use and enjoying delightful views over the garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room has been beautifully handcrafted by Ashford Kitchens & Interiors, featuring Sheraton Shaker units in limestone, polished Caesarstone White Attica worktops and a full range of integrated appliances including a Bertazzoni professional range cooker. It is a space perfectly suited to both family living and entertaining.

The family bathroom has been luxuriously appointed in a reproduction four-piece period suite, complete with claw-foot bath, separate shower cubicle and underfloor heating.

Outside, the gardens are nothing short of spectacular. The overall plot extends to approximately 0.23 acre, with the rear garden alone measuring around 0.19 acre and enjoying an impressive L-shaped layout (approximately 134’ x 69’). A wide terrace runs across the rear of the house, stepping down to an expansive lawn bordered by deep, mature shrub beds and a charming summer house. Further features include a side patio, brick-built shed/workshop, a magnificent mature walnut tree set within a raised semi-circular terrace, and a purpose-built brick office positioned to enjoy the late afternoon sun – ideal for home working. To the side of the property is gated access to a driveway providing parking for two vehicles, together with an integral garage.

Old Charlton Road is one of Shepperton’s most attractive and sought-after residential roads, with a nature reserve running along the banks of the River Ash and golf course beyond at the foot of the road. Shepperton village is within half a mile, offering a vibrant High Street, mainline station to London Waterloo (approximately 53 minutes) and excellent schooling. Old Shepperton, with its historic Church Square and picturesque riverside setting, is also within easy walking distance. Road connections are superb, with Junction 1 of the M3, the A316 into London and Junction 11 of the M25 all readily accessible.

An immaculate period home of rare quality, combining elegant living, exceptional gardens and a superb Shepperton location.
