Location

The house occupies an enviable position, adjacent to the stunning open acres of Marble Hill Park that in turn adjoin a particularly scenic stretch of the River Thames - combining to provide a wonderful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. With this semi rural backdrop it is difficult to believe that you are within approximately 10 miles of Hyde Park Corner and just a pleasant riverside stroll (of under a mile) away from Richmond town, with its sophisticated yet charming selection of shops, boutiques and restaurants.

Richmond train station (within about one mile) provides a rapid and direct service into London Waterloo, as well as the District line tube and overland to Stratford, via North London. Whilst even closer at hand the delightful village of St Margarets also has a train station with a direct overland service to London Waterloo.

The A316 is within approximately half a mile and adjoins the M3 at Sunbury, providing easy access to the south west or central London in the other direction. The M3 in turn adjoins the M25 orbital motorway and thereby offers convenient access to Gatwick and Heathrow international airports.

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