Summary - 16 Lower Road, Little Bookham, Leatherhead, Surrey, KT23 KT23 4DX
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large private gardens backing onto open farmland with parking.
Victorian detached home with abundant period features
An attractive Victorian detached home on a very large plot in Little Bookham, offered chain free and with clear scope to modernise or extend (STPP). The house retains many period features — high ceilings, open fireplaces, panel doors and exposed beams — and provides generous living space across approximately 2,252 sq ft with four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The mature gardens extend to around an acre and back onto open farmland, creating privacy and a strong countryside feel while remaining close to Leatherhead and local amenities. There is off-street parking for several cars, a detached converted garage currently used as a workshop/office, and gated side access that supports potential extension or outbuildings (STPP).
Important practical points: the property needs renovation and some systems are dated — secondary glazing only, solid brick walls likely without insulation, and original heating served by a mains-gas boiler and radiators. The gardens require maintenance; several large greenhouses are in various condition. Council tax is quite expensive. These factors mean the house will suit a buyer looking for project potential and long-term value rather than a move-in-ready home.
Well-placed for families and professionals, the location benefits from excellent mobile and fast broadband, nearby good and independent schools, regular bus services and local leisure facilities. For those prepared to invest in upgrading and insulating the building, the combination of size, character and plot offers significant scope to create a spacious, modern family home or to add value through an extension (subject to planning).
