Tyron Ash International Real Estate are pleased to bring to market this Detached Home nestled in a riverside location in Chertsey, Surrey. This 7 bedroom detached Edwardian property dates back to circa 1892 and was built by William Luson Thomas. The home sits in its own private oasis, set behind trees and bushes on a nearly 1 acre plot and then having the incredible views and access to the River Thames. This home is truly an opportunity for someone with a vision to take this existing and may I say, beautiful structure and location and turn it into whatever their dreams desire, it could be an ultra-luxury residence, or maybe it could be a classy, Edwardian style interior to match the exterior, whatever you can imagine, it can become.

Downstairs has so much to offer, walking through the front entrance there is a lovely porch and you are welcome by a large hallway, to the left it offshoots into what I feel should be the formal drawing room, which features a beautiful chimney breast, a bay window and double doors onto the outside of the home, this large space is the perfect place to host family and friends. To the right of the entrance we have another living area, this has a large bay window and double doors too that goes out onto a porch style area, personally I would have large sliding floor to ceiling doors to create a sense of indoor/outdoor living, this is easily the entertaining hub of the home. Further back downstairs there is another room which could be a snug or a downstairs bedroom if you had an elderly relative, there is a large coat room space and also space for an elevator that would take you to the first floor. To finish downstairs there is a large dining room which leads on to another large room that also leads onto a final well sized space. In my opinion and as per the video tour, I would knock through all these walls and create an open plan, kitchen and dining room, keeping the fireplace in the dining room to keep that sense of warmth but then having a very modern, sleek kitchen.

Going up to the first floor we have a large landing space with an easy small room that could be where the elevator goes up to from the ground floor. There is a large space, currently with a section down the middle that I would actually take down and have as one principle suite, it has two sets of double doors that lead onto the balcony that goes the whole length of the property, a beautiful chimney breast which I would keep for decorative purposes and then another door which would lead you on to what I believe would naturally become an ensuite bathroom, the CGIs on the photos really help this whole space come to life so make sure to check them out.

Also on the first floor we have another four double bedrooms in its current capacity, one of them also having the double doors out onto the aforementioned balcony, there is also space for several ensuites or walk in wardrobes here. Up again onto the second floor, there is a really large loft space that has a few dormers in already and could be made even bigger with a few more dormers on the right side. Personally I would use this as a games room/bar space as this would be the perfect relaxation spot but it could also be turned into more bedrooms if need be.

The home also features its own annex, perfect for a home of this size as it could be used to house staff or even a relative etc, the annex features a large living space, a kitchen with all the appliances, a bathroom and two double bedrooms.
