3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Berkeley Drive, West Molesey KT8

For-sale: A traditional bay-fronted 1930s semi-detached family home situated in a quiet side road location with good size front rear gardens, and comfortable driveway parking.

This beautifully maintained family home enjoys a lovely road position with pleasant outlook front and rear. The property already has a full width ground floor rear kitchen extension which significantly enhances the overall living space.

However, it should be noted that there are only four-pairs of semi-detached houses in Berkeley Dive with the wider plots and side drives; the rest are terraces. This opens up additional extension options, examples are visible in neighbouring semis, presenting an opportunity for part single, part double storey additions. Naturally, such work would require local authority consent, but the other approvals already obtained may help to establish a favourable precedent for a successful planning application.

The accommodation comprises; an entrance hallway with under stair storage, a downstairs WC with utility area and built in storage cupboards. The hallway takes you through to a lovely through reception room complete with bay window furnished with plantation shutters and an impressive period feature fireplace with stone hearth. The middle reception room opens onto the rear extension which is a really good open space - 16' 1" x 15 ft / 4.9 x 4.56 m - with access out to the garden via sliding double glazed patio doors. This area accommodates a large dining table for family gatherings or entertaining and the kitchen itself is well equipped with superb storage and space for all necessary appliances.

Upstairs, the landing has a bright open feel with side window and provides hatch to the loft space. There are three good size bedrooms and a pretty double aspect modern bathroom with matching white suite.

Outside, there is a generous rear garden with sizable decked area as well as a beautifully tended central lawn with established borders, plants and trees. There is also a shed and hardstanding concrete area which leads to the side gate – Potential to extend (STPP) as referenced previously. To the front there is off road parking and a nicely presented garden with lawn and mature plant and bushes, boundaries in good order, parted walled, part fenced and with an attractive picket fence to pavement.
