Westcar Lane, Walton-on-Thames, KT12

Positioned in a prestigious tree lined road just a short stroll from Walton’s mainline station, with fast rail links to London Waterloo, this striking period home is a fine example of timeless architecture combined with modern family living. Boasting original character, the property has been sensitively updated by the current owners, retaining character while introducing high-quality contemporary finishes throughout. Designed by the acclaimed architect Richard Norman Shaw as one impressive private residence, the house was later divided into two homes. Over recent years, the current owners have undertaken an extensive programme of restoration and refurbishment, resulting in an exceptional family home arranged over three beautifully presented floors. The accommodation is both spacious and versatile, perfectly suited to modern lifestyles while showcasing an array of period features, including elegant fireplaces, high ceilings and original joinery. The ground floor provides three well-proportioned reception rooms, each enjoying views over the garden. The centrepiece of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family room. Cleverly redesigned, it features bespoke grey cabinetry, stone worktops and a full range of integrated Miele appliances. Roof lanterns fill the room with natural light, while expansive sliding doors create a seamless connection to the private rear garden. A separate utility room and downstairs cloakroom add further practicality. Twin staircases enhance the flexibility of the upper floors, making the layout ideal for larger or growing families. There are six generous bedrooms, including a superb principal suite with its own en-suite bathroom, while two recently refurbished family bathrooms have been finished to a high standard with stylish contemporary fittings.
