Designed and built in 2004 by the much acclaimed Swiss architect Walter Strebel this generously proportioned and laterally configured family home provides superbly for generational living.
The versatile and well balance accommodation is arranged over three levels and totals over 6,100 sq. ft. that is equally well equipped for family life or more formal entertaining. The large windows and open aspects are delightful and further emphasise the excellent flow of natural light. In addition to the main entrance, there is a secondary entrance and staircase to the right of the front door, which leads to the first floor and provides perfectly for live in staff or older children seeking independence. Other features of particular note include air conditioning, underfloor heating and the excellent degree of privacy and seclusion that the house and gardens afford, particularly when you consider its incredibly central and convenient location.
To the rear of the house, there is a stunning southerly walled garden that is beautifully established and predominantly laid to lawn. From this garden there is a gate providing access to a further 'secret garden' that faces south west and affords excellent privacy, and is an ideal area for alfresco entertaining. Whilst to the front of the property, there is a gated forecourt providing ample and secure off street parking.
Occupying a wonderful position in the very heart of Richmond town, the house could not be more convenient for the sophisticated array of shops and restaurants that Richmond has to offer. There are also a number of quaint boutiques and independent stores within just a few hundred meters, that give Richmond its charming atmosphere. Whilst at the end of the road a particularly scenic stretch of the River Thames provides an ideal retreat from the hubbub of daily life, as do the incredible deer inhabited acres of Richmond Park.
Local transport links include numerous bus routes to surrounding areas, plus fast and frequent trains to Central London via both South West Trains (Waterloo 19 minutes) and London Underground's District Line (West End 38 minutes).
The property is well placed for access to the A316/M3, M4 and M25 motorways.
Schools in the area include King's House School (0.6 mile), Old Vicarage School (0.2 mile), Marshgate Primary School (0.8 mile), The Vineyard School (0.5 mile) and The German School (1.1 miles)
