About
A most appealing three bedroom, two bathroom, character home being extremely well located in East Molesey's (Bridge Road) Conservation area for access to Hampton Court and the surrounding area, this intriguing property needs to be viewed to be fully appreciated.
Rarely do properties with such history and character become available to buy.
The Old Forge is not a listed building, however, it is recorded by Elmbridge Council on their Heritage List as a local home of historical interest.
Reputed to formally be part of The Old Forge serving Hampton Court Palace dating back to circa mid 1700s.
The property has been refurbished, extended and remodelled in recent years to provide comfortable modern living across three floors.
What makes this home stand out from others, are a good number of original features still visible today making this a rather unique offering.
Such features include exposed beams including an impressive kings truss beam to a spacious main living area.
The entrance hall, with good storage, takes you through to the centre of the home and opens into the main double aspect living space.
Here you will find a central nook and recessed brick fireplace and a further door opens into an inner study.
Off to the right is a well equipped eat-in kitchen; the breakfast / dining area enjoys bi-fold doors opening open out to a low maintenance patio / terrace with side access.
Upstairs on the first floor there are two good bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, and a separate shower room designed to a 'wet room' style, whilst the second floor loft conversion forms an excellent size main bedroom with en-suite bathroom and fitted cupboards, as well as access to deep eaves storage.
Location. An instantly recognisable and protected street scene locally, the property is superbly situated for everything the area has to offer.
East Molesey's main High Street on Walton Road and the Village area (Bridge Road) are both within 5 minunte's walk, whilst Hampton Court Station and beautiful Riverside settings are within 7 minutes approximately.
