Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Substantial detached Edwardian home
  • Ideal refurbishment / reconfiguration opportunity (subject to the usual consents)
  • Generous ceiling heights and ample period character throughout
  • Four principal reception rooms
  • Kitchen / breakfast room
  • Utility room and cloakroom / WC
  • Five / six bedrooms, two bathrooms and separate WC
  • Ample parking plus attached double garage to rear
  • Rear garden extending to 97 feet x 51 feet
An imposing, double fronted detached Edwardian home offering an increasingly scarce opportunity to create and blend the very best of contemporary living and period character.  'Sydenham' dates from the early 1900's and although it is eminently 'liveable' as it is, it would now benefit from a full programme of updating and possibly some re-configuration.  The property was at one point in the 1960's subdivided into a pair of large flats before its later usage as a family home and well-known Doctors surgery.  

Offering all the character one would hope to find, the existing accommodation offers generous ceiling heights, gracious room sizes, working fireplaces, many original sash windows and plaster cornicing. On the ground floor, an expansive entrance hall gives way to a choice of four reception rooms, a kitchen / breakfast room overlooking the garden with the dining room also offering direct access, a utility room and cloakroom / WC.

An elegant, turning staircase with half landing leads up to the first floor with the landing providing unusually generous circulation space. On the first floor, there are five bedrooms with two bathrooms and a separate WC. The second floor comprises the large original attic room which is freshly painted and could readily lend itself to a wide variety of uses, depending of course on the new owners' needs.

Externally, there is ample off-road parking, courtesy of a wide front forecourt and detached double garage to rear. 'Sydenham' occupies a 0.2 acre overall plot with the rear garden extending in all to 97 feet x 51 feet.

Lying broadly equidistant between Claygate village and central Esher, 'Sydenham' offers a great balance in terms of location with many excellent state and independent schools close by, train services into London Waterloo from Claygate or Esher and the choice of an excellent range of independent shops and businesses in Claygate village or a much more extensive array of shops, restaurants, cafés, leisure facilities, a Waitrose supermarket and cinema in Esher.
EPC Rating: E

Places of interest

    Claygate is a self contained village, virtually surrounded by woodland walks and countryside, yet only 27 minutes by train to London Waterloo. The larger centres of Esher and Kingston are nearby and the area is well served with private and state schools. There are a number of excellent golf courses in the area and there's racing at Sandown Park in Esher. Claygate is a vibrant community with its own cricket club, choral and dramatic societies and  flower show on Claygate's recreation ground in Summer.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
