" Designed by the Swiss architect Edward Schoolheifer for the Lyon Group in 1964, this three-storey, two-bedroom modern house is located on the celebrated Manygate Lane estate in Shepperton. The property offers a rare opportunity to purchase a prime example of Mid-Century Modern architecture at an affordable price.

The house occupies an advantageous position on the small, private Manygate Lane Estate – in the middle of a row of similar houses arranged around a landscaped communal square, away from the road. The property has been subject to extensive, sympathetic renovations by the current owners, including a new bathroom, new boiler and restored hardwood parquet flooring. The garden has also been landscaped by the current owner. Considering these improvements, the property is perhaps the most outstanding of its type at Manygate Lane.

Please note that there is also the opportunity to take on an allotment adjacent to Manygate Lane when purchasing this property.Manygate Lane, a Conservation Area, is located five minutes' walk from Shepperton train station, which runs direct services to London Waterloo. Walton-on-Thames station is also a short drive away. The house has very good access to the M3 / M25. Schools in the area are well regarded, with St Nicholas and Thames Meade schools (for which this property is in the catchment area) being of particular note. The Thames is also a short walk from Manygate Lane, and there are numerous leisure activities available from Shepperton, including sailing and walking.
