This six-bedroom Mid Century Modern house can be found in a private, tucked away location in Old Shepperton, an historic, riverside location. Designed by E. G. Fisher & Associates in 1972, and later extended by Richard Pain, the house features spectacular, light-filled spaces and some superb original details (most notably the abstract relief mural that features prominently on the front exterior).

The property is approached via a large, high-walled front courtyard which provides parking space for numerous cars. The front door leads to an impressive double-height hall which, with two large roof lights, fills with natural light. An attractive slate wall runs the full height of the space. The hall leads to the dining area which opens onto the gardens via sliding glazed doors. Also on the ground floor, in the south wing of the house, is the kitchen / breakfast room and a reception room. The north wing includes a study, a second reception room, two bedrooms and a shower room. It would be possible to make this area of the house a self-contained two-bedroom annexe.

Oak-detailed steps lead to a wonderful galleried landing on the first floor. On this floor can be found the master bedroom suite with an ensuite bathroom and balcony overlooking the garden. There are a further three bedrooms, one of which has an ensuite shower room and a family bathroom. All of these rooms have been recently refurbished.

At the front of the house, off the courtyard, is a double garage and workshop. At the rear is a west-facing, landscaped garden that is divided into three areas. The terracing that surrounds the house incorporates integrated seating and is very much a part of the overall architectural scheme. Indeed this area can be seen as an extension of the house itself. The second area is largely level lawn bordered with beds and trees whilst the third is the pool area. A kidney-shaped pool, very much in the Californian style, is surrounded by a paved terrace.

The gardens are surrounded by historic walls as the plot forms part of the former garden of the large Manor House nearby – hence the address Manor House Court. Situated just off Church Road, it is in an outstanding location in Shepperton – close to the picturesque Church Square, close to the open space of Manor Park and a short walk to the River Thames. The centre of Shepperton, which has a wide range of facilities, is also within easy walking distance.

Shepperton train station runs direct services to London Waterloo in 45 minutes, whilst Walton-on-Thames is a short drive away and runs services into Waterloo in 25 minutes. 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.
