Woodcote Road, Epsom, KT18

Occupying a bold, gated plot in one of Epsom’s most sought after and convenient locations, Willow Cottage presents a particularly exciting opportunity to create a spectacular detached family home. Having been owned by the same family for over 30 years and offered to the market with no onward chain, this substantial 1,567 sq. ft property provides a genuine blank canvas for a purchaser looking to remodel, refurbish and potentially extend, subject of course to the necessary planning consents.

The property is approached via a large frontage providing parking for several cars, with further scope to create additional parking if required. Full brick walled boundaries give the house an attractive sense of privacy and seclusion, while the detached layout and easterly facing rear garden provide an excellent foundation for a future transformation. The combination of plot, position and existing accommodation makes this an unusually versatile proposition for those looking to create a home tailored entirely to their own requirements.

Inside, a covered porch opens into a particularly spacious entrance hall, from which every ground floor room leads off. Double doors to the left open into a 22ft, bay fronted lounge running from front to rear, with sliding doors providing direct access onto the rear patio. To the right, a further pair of double doors lead into the bay fronted dining room, which currently incorporates a lift installed by the existing owners. This could be decommissioned relatively simply and at modest cost, subject to the relevant requirements.

Description

To the rear is a kitchen with space for a small breakfast table, while a downstairs WC completes the ground floor. Upstairs are four well proportioned bedrooms, together with a family bathroom and an ensuite shower room serving the principal bedroom. There is also an integral garage, with a rear door leading through to a useful store room.

Outside, the secluded rear garden is enclosed by attractive brick walls and offers a private setting with plenty of scope to reimagine the garden alongside any future alterations to the house. With its generous frontage, substantial existing accommodation and potential for extension and reconfiguration, the property offers the rare opportunity to take an established detached home and turn it into something truly exceptional.

Most importantly, Willow Cottage combines the ingredients that are increasingly difficult to find in Epsom: a detached house, a substantial plot, generous parking, four bedrooms, a private garden and considerable potential,...
