4 bedroom house for sale

Overview

At first sight, this is a smart and elegant townhouse midway down a road of similarly attractive and pleasingly varied family homes. Look closer and it becomes apparent that this house has recently undergone a sympathetic face lift that makes it quietly sing - a great first impression. Step inside and you sense you're somewhere special. At once, you detect the thought and passion that have been put in - and the gleaming end result. You can't wait to explore the rest of the house to see if it lives up to its promise. Well, it does! From top to bottom, this house is a triumph. The aesthetic is light, sleek and stylish, but this nod to Scandinavian chic doesn't come at the expense of warmth and comfort. Modern, yet classic, the Victorian charm is preserved, perhaps even amplified. Lines are perfectly straight and solid wood floor boards are perfectly true, their gentle sheen reflecting light throughout. The workmanship is unstinting, perhaps most evident in the cornicing and skirting boards that are even better than the originals. Smart storage solutions are everywhere. This means all that useful clutter we need to live our lives can just disappear, but be close to hand when needed. It also means that there's little to distract the eye from the fabric of the house and those things that bring you joy - your furniture, pictures and ornaments. To complete the package, the split level garden is serene with Mediterranean accents thanks to fig and olive trees providing shade and dappled sunlight - perfect for those al fresco meals you'll be enjoying. The location is hard to beat. A five/six minute walk will take you to Richmond train/tube station and the town centre with theatres, cinemas, pubs, restaurants and plenty of shops. Old Deer Park is on your doorstep, the riverside is in close reach and Kew Gardens is just down the road. Finally, a great selection of local independent bars, shops and restaurants is to be found on Kew Road, but one minute away.
