7 bedroom detached house

An exquisitely renovated and superbly situated five bedroom detached family home with a newly built two bedroom annexe

Description

Exquisitely renovated with a real depth of quality and thoughtfulness this wonderful detached family home offers well balanced and generously proportioned accommodation over three floors. There is an excellent flow of natural light throughout and the configuration of rooms provides superbly well for both everyday family life and more formal entertaining. Of particular note and what is unquestionably the social hub of the property is the striking split level kitchen/family/dining room to the rear. Spanning the full width of this room there are beautiful floor to ceiling sliding crittall doors that are a real focal feature and 'bring the garden into the house'.

In addition to the main house there is a fabulous single storey newly built two bedroom annexe that is located at the end of the garden and can be accessed independently from the lane behind the garden. Not only does the annexe provide self contained accommodation (also finished to an uncompromised standard) it has its own outside space and affords excellent privacy from the main house, vice-versa. It would be ideal accommodation for live in relatives or long term guests.

To the front of the house there is secure gated off street parking, whilst to the rear there is a delightful well established garden that is predominantly laid to lawn with a large paved patio area that is ideal for alfresco entertaining. Towards the rear of the garden there is an attractive stainless steel lined swim spa, that emulates the experience of swimming against a current.

Location

The house occupies an enviable position within just a few hundred meters of historic Richmond Bridge (Greater London's oldest surviving Thames crossing over a particularly scenic stretch of The River Thames). Just over the bridge Richmond town provides a wide and sophisticated array of shops, boutiques and restaurants, whilst managing to retain a charming village atmosphere.

Richmond train station provides a rapid and direct service into London Waterloo, as well as the District Line tube and overland to Stratford, via north London.

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

Richmond also enjoys three cinemas and a highly regarded theatre, based on picturesque Richmond Green

Access onto the A316 can be found within approximately one mile at the delightful village that is St. Margarets. The A316 in turn adjoins the M3 at Sunbury, or central London in the other direction. St.Margarets also boasts the beautiful open acres of Marble Hill Park, that abut the River Thames and incorporate tennis courts and historic Marble Hill House. Couple this with the 2300 deer inhabited acres of Richmond Park and the stunning riverside walks that are on your doorstep and you really are spoilt for choice.
