Imposing double fronted detached Edwardian home on a premier tree-lined road only minutes from Teddington High Street and mainline railway station.

Description

Situated on one of Teddington’s premier roads - moments from the High Street and approximately ten minute’s walk to the railway station which provides a regular train service to Waterloo.

Rarely available, one of only 5 of these architecturally distinguished villas on Kingston Lane, the house features a handsome double fronted façade with ornate ground floor verandah and first floor balcony and a distinctive entrance porch beneath a pretty oriel window.

This exquisite Edwardian property has benefitted from meticulous remodelling and renovation in 2013. Beautifully presented throughout, the house has been seamlessly extended to provide extensive family accommodation over approximately 3500 square feet. The wide plot has allowed a lateral configuration which provides an easy flow between the rooms and each room is flooded with natural light.

Internally, the period integrity has been preserved yet complemented by all the amenities of modern family living in the superbly appointed kitchen, dining/reception space which spans almost the entire width of the house.

Floor to ceiling glass doors give direct access to the terrace and provide views over the mature garden beyond. This area is complimented by solid marble floors extending across the width of the house and out onto the terrace to create a large and seamless entertaining space.

The kitchen benefits form an adjoining utility/laundry room with an extra large sink and additional dishwasher. From the kitchen a useful boot room leads to a large cloakroom and gives internal access to the garage.

The entire ground floor has been replaced with solid construction and benefits from insulation and underfloor heating.

To the front of the house there are two elegant formal reception rooms with high ceilings, oak parquet flooring, ornate marble fireplaces and large leaded light windows. All three reception rooms have remote controlled gas fires.

A wide staircase rises from the hallway to the first floor where one finds the principal suite comprising the bedroom, fitted dressing room and spacious bathroom. This suite occupies an entire half of the first floor and has French doors to the balcony overlooking the green spaces beyond.
Two further double en suite bedrooms and a single bedroom/study with pretty oriel window to the front complete this floor.

A further wide staircase rises to the second floor, where there are two spacious double bedrooms, each with triple aspect, which share family bathroom.

All bathrooms benefit from electric underfloor heating.

Externally, the gardens are a particular feature of this property. To the front a walled boundary extends to almost sixty feet along Kingston Lane affording a high degree of privacy with mature topiary, lawns and well stocked parterres. A central tiled path leads to the front porch and original front door featuring beautiful leaded lights.

There are gravel driveways at each side of the property providing secure parking for two vehicles - behind remote control gates.

One of the driveways leads to an integral garage with electric door. The garage provides access to the rear garden and has a useful boarded loft area for storage.

The rear garden is bounded by tall clipped yew hedges, and features well stocked borders and mature trees around a central lawned area.

A Victorian style greenhouse has been erected in recent years and there is a small timber shed for garden storage.
