Property description
About 10 years ago the current owners, keen to move from New Malden to a more rural area with amenities but less traffic, were eventually shown this property. Its generous room sizes, potential for improvement, proximity to excellent facilities and, above all, the panoramic views from Epsom racecourse round towards Guildford, were a combination impossible to resist.
This property had not been substantially altered for about 40 years and they saw the potential to create a home to suit modern living.
Being in a position to watch from the house the racehorses out on the gallops most mornings, is yet another enviable bonus.
Tattenham Corner and Tadworth village both provide an abundance of shops including a pharmacy, post office, convenience store, hairdressers, doctors' surgery, takeaway and restaurants and are all about a 3/4 mile walk, as are the stations, making this perfect for commuting or going to a show. When Derby Day comes, just take a short walk on Walton Down to watch the racing trackside.
To some, the main feature of this property would be the huge bright open-plan extended lounge. A number might put first the utility room with its large airing cupboard warmed by the Megaflow system. Others though, would go for the amount of running space for little people on indoor days.
What the Owner says:
After a long search we saw this property in January 2005 and our immediate offer was accepted. Formalities over, we moved in March and spent the rest of the year enjoying our home, doing only necessary works and thinking what next. We met an architect who would progress the project throughout, with us as site managers until our home emerged as it is. There are plenty of nice touches like low window sills and plain windows to best enjoy the view. With a 0.316 acre plot professional help was needed for the gardens. The rear is a great success with its full width patio and with raised beds around it for easy weeding and easy rise steps and a path wide enough to walk 'n' talk. The patio and ground floor layout are just made for entertaining all ages.
