Description
Between the 17th and 19th centuries, Teddington gained favour among the gentry, owing its popularity not only to its inherent charms but also to its proximity to the high fashion scene in Twickenham and Richmond. During this period, several sizable houses were erected in the village, most of which have since been demolished. Old Manor Cottage, adorned with a fire sign dating back to the 1720s for insurance purposes, stood as a testament to this era. In 1881, it was known as "L'Hermitage" and occupied by Guillane Dangars, a pastor of the French Church. Its present name has been in use since 1914.
Nestled on the north side of a spacious plot, Old Manor Cottage spans two floors and offers a harmonious blend of reception and bedroom spaces, taking advantage of a southerly garden aspect. The property boasts detailed cornice work, a brick parapet, and a distinctive whitewashed brick facade. Upon entering, the house's character is immediately evident in the entrance hall, featuring a charming west-facing bow window and a turnstile staircase with a half-landing window leading to the first floor.
Notably, the home achieves a delicate equilibrium between preserving its period origins and incorporating modern elements for contemporary living. The circa 26-ft drawing room, with its period charm, stands in contrast to the sleek, contemporary lines of the kitchen/dining room, flooded with natural light through oversized glass sliding doors that open onto the mature garden.
A centrally positioned family room, adorned with exposed decorative brick surrounds, opens onto the expansive and seldom-seen gardens. The house further accommodates a study and WC at its forefront, while a utility room and potting shed complete the far side of the property.
Ascending to the upper floor reveals four bedrooms, a family bathroom, and an additional shower room. The property includes a sizable garage with a studio.
A well-concealed Anderson shelter is somewhat of a hidden gem in the beautiful natural lawn garden.
Square Footage: 2,817 sq ft
