Talgai is a substantial Victorian semi‑detached home set on about 0.81 acres on Albury Heath, offering classic period proportions, high ceilings and multiple fireplaces across generous rooms. The house has been well cared for but retains many original features, making it comfortable to live in now while also offering clear potential to update, reconfigure or extend (subject to consents).
Externally the property stands back behind a five‑bar gate with an in‑and‑out gravel drive and plentiful off‑street parking. The south‑facing terrace and large mostly‑level rear lawn, edged by mature shrubs and trees, open directly onto extensive heathland walking routes — a major lifestyle draw for countryside buyers. Nearby villages and good schools plus reasonable rail links to London balance rural tranquillity with practical connectivity.
Practical considerations are straightforward and should be factored into any purchase. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators; the walls are original solid brick with no built-in insulation assumed; broadband speeds are slow in the area. Accommodation includes five bedrooms but just two bathrooms, and council tax is described as quite expensive. These elements mean some modernization and services upgrades are likely for future-proofing.
For a family seeking a character home in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or for buyers wanting a large garden and countryside access, Talgai offers a rare plot and strong extension/renovation potential. The home is best suited to purchasers prepared to invest for improved energy efficiency, additional bathrooms or to tailor living spaces to contemporary needs.
