Manygate Lane, Shepperton, TW17

This stunning modernist designed home is the finest example we have seen and commands the premier position within this Conservation Awarded development. Sympathetically renovated and modernised in keeping with the original design concept of light, open plan living in a tranquil urban garden, traffic free setting.

This stunning, sympathetically restored 3 double-bedroom end-of-terrace home, as featured in The Guardian, is set in a prime, peaceful position, forming part of the smaller, and more intimate second phase of this award-winning development, and one of the few to retain many original features. The modernist concept is based upon the American Radburn style, designed by Swiss architect Edward Schoolheifer in 1964. The internal layout is based on spacious open-plan living, centred on a core combining the kitchen, staircase, cloakroom, storage cupboards, utilities and water softener. The rooms are flooded with natural light by the use of full height and width windows to front and rear, giving seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces. The kitchen has been attractively refitted with a range of white/pale grey units that echo the clean uncluttered lines of the home, and a Quooker boiling water tap. To the first floor there are 3 double bedrooms, the main being a generous size, with a subtly screened walk-in closet area and further storage. The other two bedrooms have a range of fitted wardrobes and shelves. The modern bathroom has underfloor heating, and is thoughtfully considered to complement the carefully preserved mid-century features.

The private walled rear garden enjoys a sunny westerly aspect, beautifully landscaped with porcelain paving, inset with a central pond, mature and well-stocked beds and gated access. There is also a sauna. The front garden is open-plan, finished with the same attention to detail with Welsh slate paving, mature planting and specimen shrubs. There is an established hornbeam hedge to one side. A private garage is situated in an adjacent block.

The Manygate Lane development is situated in an enviable position with the village, within a short stroll of the picturesque Halliford Bend of the River Thames, the traditional bustling High Street and mainline rail station (London Waterloo 53 minutes) and close Walton-on-Thames and Weybridge. For the active, there are a number of health clubs close at hand and Shepperton Lock is within a 0.8 miles walk, providing a wealth of recreational facilities including Desborough sailing club, white water canoeing at the weir, open water swimming on Ferris Lake, trout fishing at Halliford Mere and the Tow Path, which forms part of the Thames path that runs from Woolwich to Kemble in Gloucestershire. Shepperton is well placed for transport links with its bus routes to Heathrow and surrounding principal towns. For the motorist, junction 1, M3, the start of the A316 to London and junction 11, M25 are 3.3 and 3.7 miles respectively.
