Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
Woodbine Cottage is a charming 17th-century home steeped in history, located in the picturesque Petersham village. This double-fronted, detached property is being offered for sale for the first time since 1986 and boasts a stunning plot with a sweeping driveway, double garage, and a beautifully landscaped large rear garden, previously featured in the Petersham open gardens. The property is set over two floors (plus a cellar) and comprises a grand hallway, a dual aspect reception room with French windows and ornate gas fire, a study with bay window, a dining room with feature fireplace and exposed wooden floorboards, and an eat-in kitchen with a classic and timeless, bespoke Smallbone wooden frame kitchen. Additionally, the ground floor has an under stairs WC and a large cellar, while the rear of the property is currently set up as an informal self-contained apartment with a kitchen, bathroom, walk-in wardrobe, and reception/bedroom. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a main bedroom with a dressing area and ensuite bathroom with a separate bath and shower. Although the property could benefit from some updating, it has been well-maintained and has an excellent flow and layout.
Woodbine Cottage also has historical significance, as Charles Dickens is said to have lived at the property in the 1830s and wrote The Pickwick Papers here. The property is located in conservation area CA6 Petersham.
Petersham is a small community with a beautiful village at its heart, offering easy London transport links and a perfect balance of city and country living thanks to the local green spaces of Richmond Park and Petersham Meadows. The area has outstanding state and private school options, including Meadlands primary, Grey Court secondary, the German school, and Tiffin Girls’ school.
Everyday amenities such as dry cleaning, a chemist, a smaller supermarket, and coffee spots are available on your doorstep at Richmond Hill and Ham Parade, along with a selection of pubs, cafes, and restaurants, including the Michelin awarded Dysarts and local favourites like the Petersham Nurseries and the Swiss bread bakery and cafe. Additionally, Richmond and Kingston town centres offer a wider range of shops, from independent boutiques in cobbled lanes to leading High Street brands, along with a Whole Foods and a Waitrose supermarket. Woodbine Cottage is an ideal location for families and professionals alike.

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
