Ferry Lane, Shepperton, TW17

The Yawl, is a substantial detached chalet style bungalow with a lovely homely feel, originally constructed circa 1947 it was later extended to both the ground and first floor to provide spacious and adaptable accommodation. You could easily be forgiven for thinking that you are in the middle of the countryside, as all the rooms enjoy views over the gardens and trees beyond, yet 0.7 of a mile of Shepperton village. Electric gates provide security, and privacy and the long driveway secludes the house, outbuildings and the 1/2 acre plot from the road. The house benefits from a detached garage, office, swimming pool and over 2500 sq ft.

Approached via electric gates, a long driveway creates an immediate sense of arrival, leading you through the grounds to a wonderfully secluded setting. The house, garage and outbuildings are well screened from the road, affording a high degree of privacy rarely found so close to the village centre.

Internally, the property has a warm and homely feel throughout, with well-balanced accommodation arranged over two floors. The ground floor offers an impressive principal bedroom suite, additional bedroom, study and a spacious kitchen/breakfast room that serves as the heart of the home and is complimented by a useful utility room. This sociable space is complemented by a large terrace linking it to the outside space.

The reception space is particularly noteworthy, with generous proportions and large windows framing delightful views over the gardens. A separate living room provides a cosy yet elegant retreat, while further reception areas offer flexibility for modern family life, whether entertaining, relaxing or working from home.

Upstairs, the chalet-style design creates two further bedrooms, each enjoying a charming outlook over the surrounding greenery and served by additional bathroom facilities. The layout offers excellent adaptability, ideal for families, guests or multi-generational living.

A key feature of The Yawl is its exceptional outdoor space. The gardens wrap around the property and are predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with mature trees and planting that enhance the sense of tranquillity. A generous terrace provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining, overlooking the outdoor swimming pool – an ideal focal point for summer entertaining.

Further benefits include a detached garage, a separate office outbuilding perfect for home working and additional storage structures, all contributing to the practicality of the plot.

Despite its peaceful, almost semi-rural feel, the property is conveniently located within approximately one mile of Shepperton village, with its range of shops, restaurants and mainline station, offering a direct service to London Waterloo.

The Yawl represents a rare opportunity to acquire a secluded, substantial home in a prime location, combining space, privacy and lifestyle in equal measure.
