Derwent Close, Claygate, Esher, Surrey, KT10

A rare opportunity to create a bespoke home in prime central Claygate.

Description

Situated within a quiet and highly sought-after cul de sac in the heart of Claygate, this exceptional and highly unusual offering presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached property, ready for complete internal fit-out to a purchaser’s own specification.

The property has undergone significant structural works, including a rear, front and side extensions, a brand new roof and floor structure and internal steelwork to facilitate high ceilings throughout. In addition, the property received newly installed windows, a new drainage system and expansive soft and hard landscaping works. Internally, the house has been stripped back to provide a full blank canvas, allowing complete flexibility to design and create a home tailored precisely to individual requirements.

Extending to approximately 227.9 sq m / 2,453 sq ft, the accommodation offers excellent proportions across both floors. An indicative layout demonstrates the potential for a contemporary four-bedroom family home, including a large open-plan kitchen/dining/family space spanning over 8.7m in width, separate reception room, study, utility/plant room and a ground floor bedroom, with a generous principal suite, dressing room and further double en suite bedrooms arranged across the first floor. Purchasers are able to configure the internal layout entirely to suit their needs.

Externally, the property enjoys a well-proportioned rear garden and a generous frontage with ample driveway parking. The setting is particularly attractive, being both peaceful and exceptionally convenient, located just 400 metres from Claygate station and the village centre, providing easy access to local shops, amenities and highly regarded schools.

Derwent Close is notably private land, with the road and green owned collectively by the ten houses within the close and with future potential to formalise as a private road, further enhancing its exclusivity and appeal.

This property is offered in shell condition with no kitchen or bathroom installed and is therefore available to cash buyers only.

External photographs (front, rear and garden) are of the property as existing with the only exception of computer generated (CGI) impression of the front door and back doors. Internal images are computer generated (CGI) and are for indicative purposes only. Two floorplans are provided, including one indicative layout to illustrate potential configuration.
