Description:
Set back from Petersham Road and approached via its own private lane, Frame Cottage occupies a discreet and sheltered position within established gardens in the heart of Petersham. Built in the early 1920s, the house has been comprehensively refurbished in recent years to create a warm, light-filled and exceptionally comfortable family home, while carefully retaining its period character including original doors, flooring,
joinery and fireplace.
The renovation has been carried out with a strong focus on long-term performance and environmental efficiency. Rather than simply adding features, the works have improved the fabric and functionality of the building, resulting in a house that feels notably quieter, warmer in winter, cooler in summer and provides excellent thermal performance and efficiency.
The property holds an EPC rating of B.
Upgrades include a 12-panel solar array, passive flue gas heat recovery device system, high-performance external insulation render, specialist A-rated Accoya timber windows, underfloor heating, low-energy lighting and ventilation systems together with a private well and filtration system providing an independent water supply.
The bespoke kitchen features hand-built timber cabinetry with recycled glass and seashell work surfaces.
The main house provides over 1,600 sq ft of well-balanced accommodation comprising a spacious reception room, open-plan kitchen and dining room, study and utility room. A ground-floor en suite bedroom offers flexibility for guests or long-term adaptability. Upstairs are three further bedrooms, one en suite, together with a family bathroom.
The recently constructed self-contained studio annexe incorporates a shower room and versatile first-floor accommodation, providing excellent flexibility for home working, guests or independent living without compromising the privacy of the main house. The adjoining garage includes a storeroom and work area and is accessed via a gravel driveway with ample parking.
The gardens are mature and well established, including a south-facing courtyard, well-stocked borders and lawned areas, creating a calm and private setting.
Adjoining the house is a separate freehold garden plot with planning permission granted for two additional dwellings (one three-bedroom house and one one-bedroom house) - a rare combined offering with immediate consent and future flexibility.
Lawful commencement has been triggered and services have been installed to the boundary. A purchaser may choose to develop, retain as extended garden space or hold as long-term potential.
