A rare gated riverside plot totalling approximately 0.6 acres with two fully self-contained dwellings. The main Tudor-style house and a converted studio annexe together provide seven bedrooms and four bathrooms, making the estate well suited to multi-generational living, a home-plus-income setup, or a single-family household wanting generous flexible space. Both properties have modern fitted kitchens and sizeable reception rooms that open to private garden areas and a riverside terrace.
The setting is a strong asset: quiet, semi-rural feel within walking distance of Chertsey town centre and the River Thames, with views over paddocks and direct Abbey River access. A gated entrance and a large gravel drive give secure off-street parking for several cars. Local schools rated Good and two independent schools nearby add family appeal.
Buyers should note material constraints plainly. The site lies in a high flood-risk area — properties on the plot will need flood-risk mitigation and insurance considerations. The main building is a period solid-brick house (circa 1900–1929) with no known cavity insulation, so thermal upgrades may be required. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Any future expansion would be subject to planning permission (STPP), and the plot presents refurbishment and modernisation scope rather than a turnkey rebuild.
For purchasers seeking an adaptable riverside property with strong long-term potential, this estate offers privacy, space and scope. Investors or extended families will value the two separate homes and rental or conversion possibilities, while those planning improvements should budget for flood resilience, insulation and general updating.
