this handsome detached period home has generous private gardens, grand proportions and access to coveted communal parklands. set on one of the area’s most desirable roads, the double-fronted home has been lovingly held by the same family for over three decades. now ready for its next chapter, it is a rare opportunity to create a dream home in an exceptional setting.
the ground floor is beautifully arranged for family life and entertaining. a large double reception room faces west, filling the space with afternoon light, while a separate dining room leads through to an expansive kitchen and breakfast room. the aga takes centre stage here, with french doors opening onto a sunny patio and the lawned garden beyond. there’s also a secondary patio off the side entrance, perfect for morning coffee, and a ground-floor bathroom and utility room for convenience.
upstairs, three bedrooms occupy the first floor, including the principal bedroom, which opens directly onto a private roof terrace and benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom. the remaining bedrooms share a large family bathroom. two additional bedrooms are found on the top floor as well as a large study with built in cabinetry and work benches, together with another bathroom. a basement below is currently set up as a music room, but provides ample storage or scope for further enlargement (subject to planning).
outside, the house is surrounded by mature gardens on all sides. a sweeping front drive allows for off-street parking, while the rear garden opens directly onto the pleasure gardens, an exclusive private park accessible only to residents. two further private parks can also be enjoyed which are accessible from neighbouring roads, giving an extraordinary sense of space rarely found so close to central london.
st. georges road is just 0.7 miles from richmond town centre, where boutique shops, cafés and restaurants cluster around the green and riverside. the river thames is a short stroll away and the footbridge over richmond lock gives access to the open spaces of old deer park, and richmond park is just over a mile from the doorstep. excellent transport links include south western railway and the district line from richmond station, as well as easy access to the a316, m3, m4 and m25.
