Owners' story
We found and did up this little Victorian cottage four years ago, taking it back to its authentic roots while updating all of its functions, and turning the garden into a cosy and romantic space to relax in. We love waking up to the view of green trees and the peace and quiet of being on a cul de sac between two churches (the bells make you feel like you could be deep in the countryside!). After moving in we acquired our dog and have made countless happy memories here. The location is unparalleled, with some of the best pubs in London and the river right on our doorstep. We have also loved taking our dog to Richmond Park every day. We've been lucky to have the loveliest community of neighbours (and will miss the legendary seasonal Worple Street parties!) We've cherished this house. It means a lot to us to pass it on to someone who will love it as much as we have.
