Property description

The Old Nurseries is one of two detached houses that were built at the start of the millennium in a Private Road and set back behind centrally positioned electric gates with video-entry system. It is situated on a Southerly aspect plot with views over paddocks to the rear, with this house enjoying the benefit of a private paddock approaching 1.5 acres, on which we understand there is 'planning' for 6 stables.

The current owners have painstakingly maintained and improved the property since their time here and are only moving to 'downsize'. They have particularly enjoyed the almost full width conservatory and kitchen/breakfast room with its lovely bay and both enjoy the views over the rear garden; in fact the garden has also been considerably improved with a Mediterranean feature and an amazing Finnish Sausage House which can seat 20!

The bespoke solid Oak double doors of the enclosed porch lead to the entrance hall, from which all four reception rooms can be accessed. The Sitting room is lovely, with its large Inglenook fireplace and solid fuel burner and is one of those special rooms that are warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The house has double glazed windows, a gas central heating system to radiators (most of which have ornate covers), monitored alarm system and wired in smoke detector system.

The gardens are particularly noteworthy with minimal maintenance shrubbery beds, lawn, large patio, lighting, specimen plants, that amazing Finnish Sausage House and a lovely southerly aspect. There is private access to the paddock from the garden and also further along the road.  

The Old Nurseries is situated in a quiet Private road on the border of Shepperton & Sunbury, with a rural feel yet only about 1 mile from both Shepperton and Upper Halliford train stations.

There are excellent transport links to London and the south east with easy access to the M3, M25 & M4. London Heathrow Airport (15 mins) and London Gatwick (40mins) are also within easy reach.

Schools around the area include Hampton Boys, Halliford Boys, Sir William Perkins School, St James, and St Georges College, Reeds, Tasis and ACS as well as numerous other quality establishments. The area really is blessed with choice in this department.

The local area benefits from many sporting venues and leisure facilities including racing at Kempton Park, golf at nearby Wentworth, sailing on Queen Mary's reservoir and boating on The Thames.

The Old Nurseries is a super property with a lovely homely feel. It is perfect for entertaining, which the owners have enjoyed with friends and family alike.
