For the first time in over 40 years, this Georgian detached home on Throop Road offers space, character and a truly rare, large garden. The house has generous reception rooms with a dining room open fireplace and a living room with a log burner — comfortable, lived-in spaces that suit family life now while offering scope to modernise. The kitchen/breakfast room is bright with garden views and substantial potential to become an open-plan hub.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms and a versatile single bedroom suitable for a nursery, dressing room or home office. There is currently a single family bathroom; buyers should note there is clear scope to add or reconfigure a second bathroom upstairs (subject to permissions). The property has good storage, a downstairs WC and the solid “bones” of a period home that will reward sympathetic updating.
Outside is the standout feature: a very large garden with lawn, mature trees, orchard-style planting, a woodland edge and a brick-built Wendy house. Driveway parking and a powered garage/workshop add practicality, while the plot also creates potential for an annex, studio or extension (subject to planning). The village location is a short walk from the train station with direct services to London Waterloo, making the house suitable for commuters as well as families.
Notable negatives are straightforward: the house will benefit from modernisation to meet contemporary tastes and energy standards, and there is only one main bathroom at present. Any extension or substantial alteration will require local planning permissions. Overall this is a rare opportunity to secure a period detached home on a large plot with excellent garden privacy and versatile potential.
