Location

The house occupies an central and enviable position within The St Margarets Pleasure Gardens - that provide such 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 away (crossing over the water at Richmond Lock or Twickenham Bridge) from Richmond town, with its sophisticated yet charming selection of shops, boutiques and restaurants.

Richmond train station (approximately one mile) provides a rapid and direct service into London Waterloo, as well as the District line tube and Overground to Stratford, via North London.

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

Description

An attractive, gable fronted detached family house set behind a deep walled front garden with off street parking. The house benefits from lateral accommodation and retains much of the original period detail and character. There is an excellent family orientated layout with formal living spaces, more relaxed open plan family areas, and the six spacious bedrooms.

Upon entering the house one arrives in an grand entrance and reception area with a feature fireplace and oak floors and impressive staircase.

A double reception room falls to the right with high ceilings, two feature fireplaces and an elegant bay window to the front, and double doors to the rear which leads into the conservatory, currently set up as a dining area.

The stylish 'Roundhouse' designed kitchen with Aga and a range of fitted appliances provides expansive family or entertaining space to the rear of the house.

To complete this floor, there is a utility room and a guest cloakroom as well as side access.

On the first floor there are four double bedrooms some with fitted wardrobes and one of them with a balcony and a stunning view over the garden and Lake Grounds. There is also a well appointed family bathroom and a further study/playroom or fifth bedroom, depending on the needs of the incoming buyer.

The entire top floor of the property has been given over to the primary suite and designed to take in the stunning views to the rear and maximise space. The suite provides a bedroom area, dressing room, with extensive fitted wardrobes and stylish, luxurious bathroom.

The 60 ft west-facing rear garden is ideal for an active family with artificial grass combined with a mixture of shrubs, plants and trees.

There is direct access to the Lake Grounds from the rear of the garden. The Pleasure Gardens are made up of three grounds (The River Grounds, The Lake Grounds and the Avenue Grounds) that total approximately 12 acres, for the exclusive use of its residents. All three grounds feature a seasonal tennis tournament and there is a fabulous social side to them too with annual events such as a sports day, Spring fun day, barn dance, Halloween party, carols, Reggae Party and a sleep out and film night. (also known as the Trust Grounds), which provide a further twelve acres of beautifully maintained gardens, for exclusive use by its residents.
