Overview

A genuinely exciting opportunity to create a wonderful forever home in a prime central location, close to the shops, railway station and highly regarded schools.

Clearly a 'Doer-Upper', this exceptionally well-proportioned property presents in an adequate state to the ground floor with two large and bright reception rooms and a modern kitchen/diner. The kitchen and appliances are brand new and have never been used, barring a few finishing touches, this room is almost complete. The dining area leads directly out onto the patio and garden. A vast 170ft of lawn, shrubs and trees. Simply put, it's a gardener's paradise, and even offers the exciting potential for a self-contained annexe, studio, or workshop to the rear. There is a bathroom to the ground floor which is a little dated but ripe for conversion to a shower/utility room. Five bedrooms and a bathroom occupy the upper floors and here lies the perfect opportunity to remodel and redesign to one's taste. With the inherent charm of a period house, the property sits nicely set back from the road with the generous frontage allowing for that precious off-street parking!

Enjoying a strong sense of community, Gresham Road is predominantly made up of large detached and semi-detached period homes, seriously sought after and conveniently located close to the thriving town centre (a visit to the weekly farmers market is a must!), and within catchment of the outstanding local schools including the highly regarded Staines Preparatory, Our Lady of the Rosary and Riverbridge. At the end of the street, the Thames tow path invites an agreeable stroll in either direction to Laleham Village via Penton Hook Lock & Island or Staines Bridge, and the historic meadows of Runneymede, where two of Surreys oldest riverside pubs offer delicious food menus and drinks.

Opportunities of this type are becoming hard to come by these days. The sellers are keen to sell, and with similar 'modernised' houses on the road fetching between £800,000 and £1,000,000, we believe the house represents exceptional value for money. We consulted a reputable local builder who provided some ball-park costs to complete the works- the details of which we are happy to share on request.
