Shepperton Road, Laleham, Staines-upon-thames, Surrey, TW18

A rare opportunity to purchase a piece of quintessential English village life within the conservation area of the picturesque Thameside village of Laleham. The exterior of this delightful double fronted cottage belies the size of the accommodation within, offering a wealth of character, including open fireplaces and its original joinery. The pillared entrance leads into a central reception hall that is of a good size with a deep understairs storage cupboard and a useful guest cloakroom. There are two generously proportioned reception rooms, both enjoying attractive views over the church opposite. The living room is a lovely light double aspect room with casement doors opening onto the rear patio garden and a box bay window to the front; it retains its open fireplace fitted with a log burner for those chilly winter evenings. The good-sized kitchen/breakfast room has been fitted in keeping with the character, with a range of bespoke handmade Shaker style units with solid oak work surfaces, inset with a Belfast sink unit and an integrated dishwasher and a range cooker with cooker hood over. Provision has been made for a washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge/freezer. The spacious landing gives access to 3 double bedrooms, all three retaining their original cast iron fireplaces. The main bedroom has built-in wardrobes and an ensuite. Completing the package is the large family bathroom that is fitted with a 3-piece white suite. The principal section of garden is to the front with two sections of artificial lawn dissected by a central path leading to a patio. The whole is enclosed by close board fencing providing good privacy and a side gate leads to the rear. To the rear is a shingled courtyard that is fully enclosed by a brick walling with a garden shed to one end.
