'Sellers Comments'
"I fell in love with 88A back in 1999 when I was on the hunt for my first property. This home was a miniature version of the Victorian houses that populated most of the road, a chocolate box cottage in rich red brick, standing in its very own broad plot, surrounded by established shrubs and flowers in a quintessential English garden. All this, together with its little porch complete with black and white chequerboard tiles captured my heart.

This former gardener’s cottage to the stately home that once stood in Crutchfield Lane was very conveniently located, another big selling point for me. Situated on a sought-after road in the heart of Walton On Thames, this unique bungalow was brimming with potential. I could walk to the station in less than 20 minutes to get the train into London for work and be in Waterloo in just under 30 minutes. My daughter could catch the train to Weybridge in the opposite direction to get the minibus to St Maur’s now St George’s. I felt that deep knowing that this was the house for us.

After a few years, I gathered the capital to extend our little haven and created a large and expansive modern living space complete with an open-plan kitchen with a pretty courtyard, dining and living area with underfloor heating all opening up onto the well-established and generously sized and very private garden where we enjoy the sun all day through. I have tended to the garden over the years, adding hydrangeas, tree peonies, and roses. We have enjoyed being the only bungalow in the road, especially after being lovingly extended, this traditional-looking home has a spacious and modern feel inside with large bedrooms. The space flows beautifully and all the zones are well delineated. There is plenty of space to craft, cook, read, or watch the TV. As the evening draws in and the sun descends, the garden is illuminated in all its technicolor glory.

Further improvements included an updated bathroom, eco-friendly and warm cork floors laid in the second and third bedrooms together with much-needed storage. A bookcase and wardrobe for bedroom 2 and plenty of generous sized and very useful cupboards to store, linens, cleaning products and general items in the spare room. I had the small extension to the side of the house adjoining the main bedroom converted to a walk-in wardrobe and put down a plush carpet.

Without detracting from the charm of the house and whilst maintaining part of the lawn and flower beds to the front of the house, I created a personal driveway to ensure a permanent parking space and room for 1 parked car on the road.

We have sampled the many delights of the local and surrounding areas and enjoyed living in Kings Road with its welcoming community spirit and we have made lifelong friends and special memories.

Walton High Street is a brief walk away and boasts a variety of great shops and buzzy restaurants. You can cut through the park behind Kings Road, and meander past the allotments, the children’s playground, and the tennis courts. On the way into town, you can stop by the community hub with its tool library, pretty gardens and fresh donated produce. Around the corner is the boutique Everyman Cinema, where you will find a great selection of films, good food, and a comfortable place to catch the latest movies. If you want to stretch your legs, for 5 minutes more, you can walk through the grounds of St Mary’s, the delightful Norman Church and to the Riverside Barn Arts Centre towards the towpath of the Thames. Riverside pubs, a boating club, and the lock keepers' cottage line the route to Molsey, and further on, to Hampton Court, you can visit the Palace or the antique shops and lovely restaurants. Along the river towards Weybridge, a beautiful walk takes you to d’Oyly Carte, the recently refurbished home of London theatre impresario Richard d’Oyly Carte who famously brought together dramatist ws Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan and now contains a restaurant, moorings and live events with top international artistes in an intimate setting.

Sandown Racecourse is 15 minutes away in the car and many exciting live events happen from there. Kingston and Guildford are both approximately a 20-30 minute drive away and provide a variety of shops and department stores.

When we welcomed our dogs, we would take them to the park for a good run, or make a short drive over to West End near Garsons Farm where the tributaries of the River Mole cut through the land, cross over the old A3 and the walk through the Esher Commons by Blackpond.

88A has been our treasured home for 25 years, my granddaughter was born here and many happy memories have been made. Now it is with a heavy heart that we will be leaving our beloved family home but life changes mean we need to relocate.

There is so much more potential with this lovely plot to expand and build a second level, creating a huge detached home. As two 3-storey houses flank the property, planning permission will be easy to obtain.

We hope the next owners of 88A will love it as much as we do.

"i'm enamored with this lovely three-bedroom detached bungalow. Its prime location, just a short stroll away from Walton High Street and the train station, makes everyday convenience a breeze. Stepping inside, the light and airy interior immediately captivates, creating a welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for relaxation or entertaining guests. However, what truly sets this property apart is its non-overlooked private rear garden. The tranquil oasis offers a secluded retreat where you can unwind and enjoy outdoor living in peace and privacy. It's the perfect blend of convenience, comfort, and tranquility, making this bungalow an absolute dream home."
