Set on prestigious South Drive in South Cheam, this substantial five-bedroom detached house is a classic 1930s/1940s family home with generous living space and a large rear garden. The property offers two reception rooms, a sunroom overlooking well-kept gardens, and a wide driveway with an integral garage — practical for families who need parking and storage. The layout and room sizes suit multi-generation living, home working or flexible bedroom/study arrangements.
The house is well presented externally with period Tudor Revival details and double-fronted bay windows, yet it retains clear potential for updating internally. There is scope to extend subject to planning permission (S.T.P.P), allowing buyers to add value or reconfigure living space to modern tastes. Energy performance is modest (EPC D), and the property likely has solid brick walls with no built-in insulation and double glazing of unknown age — improvements to insulation and services could reduce running costs and increase comfort.
This home sits in a very affluent, low-crime area with excellent local schools and fast broadband — attractive for families seeking convenience and strong community amenities. Council Tax Band G means annual running costs will be higher than average and should be factored into budgets. Overall, the house is a roomy, characterful family property with scope to personalise and enhance its energy performance and internal specification.
