Large five-bedroom detached home with river views and renovation potential.
Five double bedrooms across three floors, generous family layout
A substantial five-bedroom detached family home occupying a generous plot in desirable Burnside, East Molesey. The house spans three floors with large, light-filled rooms, high ceilings and striking rear reception space with vaulted ceiling and glazed doors opening onto a riverside garden. Principal bedroom benefits from a dressing room and ensuite, while two further bathrooms serve the remaining bedrooms. A garage and summer house (with electrics) add practical storage and workspace options.
The property offers genuine scope to modernise and personalise: the fitted kitchen and bathrooms are functional but dated, and the house is described as needing renovation. Constructed mainly of solid brick with no assumed wall insulation, improvements to thermal performance and some updating of services are likely to be required. Double glazing (installed post-2002) and gas central heating are already in place.
Buyers should be aware of material negatives: the home lies in a high flood-risk area and sits in Council Tax Band G (quite expensive). These factors affect insurance and running costs and will be important to consider alongside renovation budgets. Despite this, the location in an affluent, low-crime area with strong schools, excellent transport links and attractive riverside outlooks will appeal to families and professionals seeking a long-term family home.
This property will suit purchasers wanting space and character who are prepared to invest in updating: it’s a blank canvas with exceptional potential to create a bespoke riverside residence in a sought-after KT8 neighbourhood.
