An outstanding and exquisitely presented family home with a delightful south west facing garden

Description

Built to uncompromising standards in 2007 by the much acclaimed 'high end' developers 'Octagon,' this architecturally distinguished four storey family home occupies a discrete and prime position within this highly regarded gated development besides the River Thames.

The beautifully proportioned high ceilinged rooms have an excellent flow of natural light and their configuration provides superbly for both everyday family life and more formal entertaining. The house totals over 4400 square feet and has four reception rooms and five double bedrooms that are serviced by four superbly appointed bathrooms, as well as two guest cloakrooms. In addition to this there is a sixth bedroom/annexe located above the garage, which has its own bathroom and provides ideal accommodation for long stay guests, staff or older children seeking independence. Other features of note include underfloor heating, concrete sub floors, CAT 5 wiring and a large southerly balcony that overlooks the garden and comes directly off the principal reception room.

There is parking to the front of the house, as well as a generous garage (with further parking in front of it) to the rear of the garden.

The garden is gorgeous and predominantly laid to lawn with beautifully established boarders. Furthermore it affords excellent privacy and retains the late afternoon and early evening sunshine, due to its south west facing orientation. There is also a large sunken terrace that comes directly off the kitchen/family room and provides an ideal area for alfresco entertaining.

Location

The house occupies an enviable position within just a hundred metres of a particularly scenic stretch of the River Thames, providing an ideal retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

With this semi rural backdrop it is difficult to believe that you are within approximately 10 miles of Hyde Park Corner and just a pleasant riverside stroll away (crossing over the water at Richmond Lock or Twickenham Bridge) from Richmond town, with its sophisticated yet charming selection of shops, boutiques and restaurants.

Richmond train station (within about 1.5 miles) provides a rapid and direct service into London Waterloo, as well as the District line tube and overland to Stratford, via North London.

The A316 is also close at hand and adjoins the M3 and Sunbury or central London in the other direction. The M3 in turn adjoins the M25, thereby offering convenient access to both Gatwick and Heathrow airports.

Local schools enjoy an enviable reputation and are considered amongst the best in the country.
