Terraced house for sale in West Byfleet KT14, 3 Bedroom

Arguably one of the most idyllic Span estates, the houses at Weymede are set amongst mature trees and gardens that extend to the banks of the river Wey. This three-bedroom house, with large private garden, retains the best of its original features as built to a design by Eric Lyons in 1963 – 66, and internal accommodation measures approximately 846 square foot. The sought-after estate near Weybridge is a short commute (under 30 minutes) from central London.

Like many Span designs, entrance is from well-maintained communal grounds to a large open-plan living space that looks directly through to the south-facing garden. This double aspect fills the house with natural light. Beyond the living space is the kitchen which has a separate door to the lovingly maintained garden. There are two small outbuildings, around which are climbing wisteria, roses, olive trees and small flowering bushes that are shaded by mature trees.

This house retains many original features and the particular character of Lyons’ design. The blue front door, one of three colours that the first residents could choose from, and geometric white-painted wood-framed windows that zig-zag across the front of the house are particularly good. Inside, the staircase and bathroom are lit by high-level skylights, that peek over the roof-line and make the houses at Weymede instantly recognisable.

Upstairs, the master bedroom has lovely original cabinetry. This, and the two further bedrooms have vaulted ceilings and centre around the bright hallway that also leads to the bathroom.

The house has the leasehold of a garage on the estate. Weymede is one of the best located of the thirty Span estates, with 140 houses of both well-known and more experimental Span designs on the private 15-acre riverside site. The estate backs onto woodland, to which it has private access, and which leads to the historic Brooklands Museum. A huge gated lawn gives access to the riverside, which the residents have private use of. Regular events and festivals are organised by residents in the grounds throughout the year.

Weymede is close to a range of supermarkets, shops and restaurants in Brooklands, West Byfleet and Weybridge.

The A3 and M25 are approximately two miles away, leading directly into central London (distance 25 miles). Heathrow can be reached in 20 minutes and Gatwick can be reached in 40 minutes and the coast can be reached in approximately an hour.

The area is well-served by railway stations at Byfleet & New Haw, West Byfleet, Weybridge and Woking. Byfleet & New Haw is approximately one mile from Weymede and runs services into London Waterloo from 30 minutes. West Byfleet runs services into London Waterloo in under 30 minutes.

Span, which built thirty housing estates in the 1950s – 1980s, was one of the few mass-housing companies that truly understood the value of good architecture and design. With the renowned Eric Lyons as chief architect, they built modern homes that maximised light and space. The landscaping of Span estates is also of particular importance, as can be seen at Weymede.
