The open plan kitchen / living room with wood flooring is a generous space and the modern kitchen has all the necessary appliances as well as a peninsula unit as a breakfast / dining space with stools.

The bedroom enjoys a side dressing area with full width built-in wardrobe, and to complete the accommodation you'll find a modern fitted bathroom with separate shower over the bath. The property has been freshly decorated throughout, has newly installed heaters, and also new quality timber framed double glazed sash window to the living room.

Externally the stunning grounds sweep down to the River Thames with seating to enjoy the water views and relax at the end of the day, if you love a garden and have no time for gardening then this is for you. If you are looking for somewhere where you can enjoy open spaces on your doorstep this is the perfect location with Bushy and Hurst Parks, wonderful riverside walking paths and Hampton Court Golf Course nearby.

Within 5 minutes walk you also have the East Molesey Cricket Club and Molesey Row Club, perfect for enjoying the activities as a spectator or a participant, plus the Real Tennis Club at Hampton Court Palace and of course the Thames Motor Yacht Club next door, that you can join as a social member even if you don't own your own boat yet !
