Set on a quiet Surbiton street, this end-terrace three-bedroom house offers scope for a buyer to create a comfortable family home. The property retains original mid-century parquet flooring in the reception and a bright stairwell with a vaulted ceiling that adds character and natural light. With 1,107 sq ft overall, the layout includes a generous reception room, separate kitchen/dining and a downstairs WC.
Practical benefits include a private garden, a separate rear garage and double glazing fitted after 2002. The long lease (941 years) and low ground rent (£40) provide tenure security. The location is a strong selling point: moments from Surbiton Station (Zone 6), lively Maple Road Village, the River Thames and several highly rated primary and secondary schools.
The house requires renovation and modernisation throughout — buyers should expect updates to finishes and services and possible thermal improvements (cavity walls with assumed lack of insulation). Heating is warm-air mains gas; the exterior shows post‑war wear and would benefit from external refurbishment. There is no significant flood risk recorded.
This home will suit families or investors seeking a well‑located property with immediate re‑modelling potential. Visibility to local amenities, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal add everyday convenience, while proximity to outstanding and good Ofsted-rated schools supports a family-focused purchase decision.
