Summer Avenue, East Molesey

A three bedroom semi-detached period home along a private cul-de-sac with approx. 100ft west facing rear garden enjoying gated access into a shared riverside meadow for certain residents only within Riverside Avenue & Summer Avenue.     

In the same family ownership for over 60 years, and offered with full vacant possession, this is an excellent opportunity to a acquire a traditional, two-storey, character property with considerable scope to improve.  Houses on this stretch of the road are rarely available boasting generous gardens and an incredibly private rear outlook over the meadowland.  

The ground floor accommodation comprises a side entrance with external overhead porch, leading into a good size hallway with a return staircase and understairs cupboard.  The charm of this home is the current layout is practically as built in the 30s with two independent reception rooms; the front room with bay window and chimney breast, the back room and kitchen both opening to the garden.    

Upstairs, passing a lovely feature window across the half-landing - with its distinctive soldier course brickwork to the front elevation - the main landing with its ceiling hatch to a cavernous loft space, leads to all rooms on this floor.  There are three bedrooms - two doubles and a good single - supported by a bathroom and separate W.C.    

Externally, there is a well stocked front garden with off-street parking to own driveway, leading to a brick garage with double-doors (Garage 20' 8" x 8' 2" / 6.3 x 2.5m).  The rear garden enjoys a sunny westerly aspect, mainly lawned with established side borders, greenhouse and tool shed.  A pathway and gate leads to the Riverside Meadow land.  The lawned meadow has mature trees with 3 x children's swings, raised patio and barbecue area sitting adjacent to the River Ember with slip-way which offers ideal river access for paddle boards, canoes and kayaks.  This is a wonderful social space with regular neighbourly gatherings and events.    

Additional note.   We are informed that the rear communal land is held on a renewable lease from the Environment Agency, managed by a residents association – Will O' Wisp (River Mole) Ltd.  A membership fee of £100 a year gains full access and use of the meadowland, slipway and river. 

Location: Summer Avenue is a private road leading down to the old Tiffinians sports grounds.   The main High Street (Walton Road) and Bridge Road, often referred to as Hampton Court Village, are both easily accessible with a superb range of independent stores, antique shops and galleries, as well as quality restaurants and pavement cafes.  Hampton Court Palace, the River Thames and Royal Bushy Park are all within close proximity.  More extensive shopping can be found in nearby Kingston Upon Thames (2.5 miles).  Hampton Court Station (zone 6) is about half a mile away and provides swift access to London Waterloo in abt. 33 minutes.
