The Villa is offered to the market for the first time since 1991 and offers a rare opportunity for the eventual purchaser to modernise this charming single storey residence. The Villa occupies an elevated and set back position within its delightful plot, amassing in all, to about 0.6 of an acre, whilst enjoying a great setting on the outskirts of the popular and historic Surrey village of Mickleham, located at the foot of Box Hill. We understand that the property dates back to the Victorian period, retaining some wonderful character features and there is enormous potential, subject to the normal consents required, to enhance and extend the property, including the fine prospect of converting the substantial loft room into additional bedroom accommodation all of which combining to create a superb 21st century family home. The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hall, cloakroom, and a well-proportioned triple aspect sitting room with open fireplace. There is a separate good-sized dining room and kitchen/breakfast room, offering the potential to redesign/update. From the bay window in the sitting room, there are delightful views to the north east towards Norbury Park. The main bedroom has built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, whilst there are two further bedrooms served by a bathroom. Outside the gardens are a particular feature surrounding the property and being laid to lawn, with established plant and shrub borders. To the east, there is a substantial detached outbuilding, formerly we understand the nursery office currently consisting of two enclosed storerooms and two open storerooms. Our clients advise that the outbuilding was connected to services and we believe also offers tremendous scope for refurbishment, again subject to the usual consents and could be utilised for a variety of purposes including a home office, studio, games room or potentially ancillary accommodation to the main house. Beyond the outbuilding, there is an additional area of level garden offering a great degree of privacy and seclusion. The Villa is approached by a long driveway, which provides turning and ample parking, whilst also leading to the attached garage with adjacent carport.
