6 bedroom house

An elegant, double-fronted, Grade II Listed manor house of Tudor origins, with Georgian additions. Set in attractive, secluded grounds, with shared use of an adjoining paddock and river frontage, this leafy idyll is within easy reach of central London.

Situated in The Old Village Conservation Area, and located approximately a mile from historic Hampton Court Palace and the River Thames, The Old Manor House is the principal part of the original dwelling, believed to date back to the early 16th century.

With later additions in the 18th century, The Old Manor House has an abundance of character, with open fireplaces, beamed ceilings, decorative ceiling cornices, exposed wall timbers and decorative woodwork.

The large south-facing garden is a major feature of the property; extending to 0.6 acres, it is reached from a wide, paved terrace, with steps down to a large sunken lawn, which is bordered by ornamental trees, flower beds, herbaceous borders and shrubs.

To the rear of the garden, a wicket gate leads to the paddock and down to the River Mole frontage, beyond which the Ember. To the front, there is off-street parking and garaging, a store, and a greenhouse.

Bell Road and The Old Manor House are within easy walking distance of East Molesey High Street. The area is well known for its attractive, tree-lined streets, and is close to the local cafes, boutiques, restaurants and amenities on Bridge Road, about half a mile away.

A larger selection of shops can be found in Kingston-upon-Thames, with its wide range of high street names and department stores. Hampton Court mainline station is within walking distance, and provides a regular train service to Waterloo, with more frequent services from nearby Surbiton station.

Schooling in the area is exceptional, with many options for both state and independent education: state schools include The Orchard Infant School, St. Lawrence Junior School, St. Paul's Catholic College (all subject to catchment); independent schools include Weston Green, Twickenham Preparatory, Hampton Court House, Lady Eleanor Holles, Hampton, Surbiton High, Claremont Fan School and ACS Cobham International School.
