Dell Walk, New Malden, Surrey, KT3

This wonderful family home still retains all the original features, from the Wrighton coloured laminate wall and base units with the laminate work surface and Tricity oven, the original ceramic tiles to all the bathrooms and original bathroom suites and laminate vanity units, to the balustrade and six panel hardwood internal doors.

Of course the potential is there to bring it to modern standards. Currently, there is a spacious study to the front of the house with views over the garden, a kitchen/breakfast room with all the original fittings and a door to the side passage, a double aspect drawing room with two bay windows giving an outlook to the rear garden and French door to the rear terrace, and a separate dining room, also looking onto the rear garden, that has a service hatch into the kitchen.

The utility room is conveniently tucked away, off the entrance hall, with a relatively new boiler and a door leading into the garden as well. A recess, off the hall, leads to the built-in coats cupboards and guest cloakroom, which also retains the original tiles and coloured suite. The drawing and dining rooms benefit from the same Mahogany parquet flooring from new, with the entrance hall being ceramic tiled as with the kitchen, cloakroom and study.

The easy rising staircase, with the same hardwood handrail and balustrade, leads to a spacious landing with a window to the front of the house, a linen cupboard with access to the loft is also on this level. There are four bedrooms to this level, two with built-in cupboards with louvre doors, with the main bedroom benefitting from a wall of built-in wardrobes with sliding mirrored doors. Another original masterpiece of this home is the Avocado bathroom suite, with a separate shower stall, laminate surfaces, and base cupboards with all the ceramic tiles intact.

As you enter Dell Walk, one turns right and the house is found on the left towards the end of the cul de sac.

The property has a wonderful garden with mature vegetation, with a small central lawn and two paved terraces.
