Property description
Molebank House is on the market for the first time since its completion in 1998 by Heritage Homes. This seven bedroom detached family home in East Molesey is built to a high specification and is situated on an exclusive and secluded, third of an acre (approx) southerly facing plot.
Established twenty years ago, Heritage Homes has earned a coveted reputation for the design of elegant individually designed homes created by superior craftsmen using quality traditional materials.
Molebank House offers the charm and style of a typical Victorian Villa but with all the practicality and efficiency of a quality contemporary build. Located on a quiet corner of a sought after road this double fronted house is approached via a gated gravel drive with off street parking for several cars as well as offering an integral double garage.
The property comprises accommodation over three floors accessed by two staircases; the main staircase leading from the elegant hallway with its French limestone floor and a second rear staircase leading from the kitchen and garage. The seven bedrooms are to be found on the first and second floors with the master en-suite and dressing room extending from front to rear and creating a wonderfully light filled suite. There is also a cinema room located on the first floor.
The ground floor offers a range of rooms with plaster cornicing and high ceilings, including the dual aspect formal reception rooms with interconnecting double doors, original Victorian marble fireplaces, front aspect bay window and rear aspect French doors opening onto the terrace. A second front reception room with solid oak floors is currently used as a study and there is a light filled dining room again with oak floors and with French doors onto the terrace. To the rear is the recently extended and refitted bespoke solid oak kitchen/breakfast room with granite work tops and a large central island. The room is flooded with light from skylights and by both the bi-fold doors and the French doors opening onto the terrace.
The south facing garden is very secluded and landscaped with mature shrubs and trees around an extensive lawn enhanced by subtle evening lighting. Through a gated entrance at the end of the lawn is a further terrace and substantial summerhouse leading down to the mooring and the river mole with uninterrupted tree lined views.
With its proximity to London and its beautiful countryside, Surrey has always been a desirable place to live. East Molesey sits on the River Thames approximately fifteen miles south-west of Central London, two miles from Kingston upon Thames and 0.5 miles to Hampton Court. The A3 and M25 are just a short drive away giving easy access to both Heathrow and Gatwick Airports and Hampton Court rail station runs a direct line in London Waterloo.
East Molesey appeals to those who are looking for the convenience of urban living but with the added charm of historical settings and the abundance of green open spaces including Bushy Park, the second largest of Londons eight Royal Parks, located near Hampton Court Palace it is a mixture of woods, gardens, ponds and grassland making it a fantastic place to enjoy wildlife with roaming herds of Red and Fallow Deer. There is also the world famous Hampton Court Palace and its beautiful grounds plus the many activities along the River Thames.
Some highly regarded state schools are in the area including The Orchard, St. Lawrence, Tiffin Grammar School plus an excellent choice of independent schools; Kingston Grammar, Surbiton High School, Hampton School and Lady Eleanor Holles School being but a few.
East Molesey itself is located between the River Mole and River Thames and is a delightful mixture of period and modern properties ranging from Victorian terraced cottages to large high specification detached villas, offering an abundance of style and charm. There is a vibrant mix of independent antique shops, boutiques, cafes and restaurants all of which creates a wonderful village feel to this vey cosmopolitan town.
