4 bedroom detached house for sale

Superb four double bedroom detached home with excellent lateral living and loft potential. 111ft west facing garden, garage and off street parking. Close to Sheen Mount and Richmond Park.

Built in 1931 by renowned local builder George Sturgis for his own family, this exceptional home forms part of the original and most sought-after section of Berwyn Road. Notably, the property has remained within just three families since its construction, including ownership by the builder’s own daughter, a testament to its enduring quality and appeal.

The current owner, a retired hotelier, undertook a comprehensive yet sympathetic redesign between 2001–2002, working alongside a leading architect to significantly enhance both the scale and functionality of the house. The result is a substantial and beautifully balanced home that blends original character with modern living. The extension was carefully designed to remain entirely in keeping with the original architectural style, with matching brickwork, lintels and window detailing throughout.

The accommodation is generous and well-considered, comprising four large double bedrooms, including a principal suite with a spacious walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom, alongside a well-appointed family bathroom. The ground floor offers a wide and welcoming entrance hallway, elegant dining room, reception room, downstairs WC, and an impressive kitchen/family room designed for modern living. A utility room and internal garage - created following the demolition of the original external garage - add further practicality, alongside off-street parking.

The reconfiguration also saw an alteration to the roof profile. This not only enhances the home’s presence but also provides excellent scope for further extension or conversion, subject to the usual planning consents.

Specification throughout is of an exceptional standard, reflecting the owner’s professional background. Features include a commercial-grade water pressure system, hotel-quality bathrooms and showers, whole-house CAT 5 cabling, and Lutron lighting systems in the principal rooms. Original features such as wood parquet flooring and beautiful Arts and Crafts stained glass windows have been carefully preserved, complemented by secondary glazing to improve insulation and security.

To the rear, a mature west-facing garden extends to over 111 ft, offering a private and tranquil setting with established planting, a striking Bramley apple tree, and a secondary pergola and patio area ideal for outdoor entertaining.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a house of genuine provenance and superior build quality, widely regarded as one of the finest on Berwyn Road - unsurprising given it was originally constructed by the builder for his own occupation.

Ideally located for families, the property is within close proximity of Sheen Mount Primary School, as well as the open spaces of Sheen Common and Richmond Park.
