Description
The Lammas was originally constructed circa 1740 as the rectory for Christ Church and later used as a convalescent hospital for veterans of World War 1, known then as the Esher Red Cross Hospital. Steeped in history and offering significantly more than meets the eye, it is without a doubt one of the most interesting properties in Esher.

This spectacular 18th Century Grade II listed property has recently been refurbished to exacting standards throughout and now offers the perfect blend of modern open-plan living and original character features inside and out.
Situated in the centre of Esher, The Lammas is just moments away from all that Esher High Street has to offer and still within walking distance of Esher mainline station. Parking sits behind an elevated brick wall and a additional parking can be found to the rear, which also gives access to the large private and secluded garden. Properties of this size, in this location, very rarely come to market and when they do, they simply don't offer the quality and character The Lammas does. This is a rare and exciting opportunity for someone to make their forever home.
You enter a large and inviting hallway which has impressive high ceilings and original flooring which extends throughout the house. At the front of the property are the formal living room and dining room, both have large windows and original feature fireplaces. The kitchen/breakfast room has an impressive island and oak herringbone flooring which ties in perfectly with the original flooring throughout the rest of the house. It is open-plan to the family room and both have french doors leading out to the rear garden. The ground floor also benefits from a large utility room and cloakroom with fabulous original Victorian patterned tiles. Stairs lead down to a basement where you find a fantastic cinema room with a window providing plenty of natural light. There is another large reception room which gives access to the outside of the property.
The charm and character continue with a sweeping staircase leading to the first floor. Here you are greeted with a bright and airy landing with two large windows letting the natural light pour throughout the house. The principal bedroom is a fantastic size and has a stunning en-suite overlooking the rear garden. Bedrooms two and three are also substantial double bedrooms and share a large family bathroom, also overlooking the garden. The top floor has two further double bedrooms, a bathroom and an impressive living room/study with its own kitchen, perfect for an au pair, kids den or home office. The Lammas offers 4500 square feet of living accommodation and has been carefully thought out to provide the perfect layout to suit all needs.
Externally there is something for everybody here at The Lammas. An elevated driveway leads to the front of the property and provides off street parking. This is the best spot to take in the impressive facade of the house. The garden itself is stunning and offers plenty of privacy and seclusion, with mature borders and measuring over 100ft, keen gardeners or young families alike will find no limits here. Separate gated parking can be accessed from the garden and is just moments from the front of the property.
