Charming Victorian home with views of Kew Gardens for sale in Richmond
Spread across four floors, this charming double fronted detached Victorian home in Richmond has retained many of its original features, from ornate cornicing and lofty ceilings, to French doors and impressive fireplaces – and it has just entered the property market.
With its own private driveway and redbrick facade, the traditional Victorian villa has plenty of kerb appeal. Upon entering through an enchanting wooden porch archway, you are immediately welcomed by a warm and inviting hallway which leads onto a large reception room to the left, or straight through to an open-plan kitchen-diner.
Not only is there breakfast bar seating but there’s also space for a traditional dining area, as well as further reception space. And you can truly enjoy indoor-outdoor living as the patio doors open up directly into a lush landscaped garden.
Also located on the ground floor is a cinema room, plus a small office, washroom and a garage, which can be accessed from both the front and the rear of the property.
Up on the first floor you’ll find three of the five bedrooms, with one having its own ensuite, as well as a substantial family bathroom and a smaller powder room. The top floor then houses the master bedroom with a large ensuite and adjoining dressing room, plus an additional bedroom and family bathroom.
There are also a few bonus spaces on the lower ground floor, with wine storage, a home gym and plenty of space to store everything from Christmas decorations to pantry overflow in the cellar.
Outside, there’s a verdant garden to the rear with a variety of mature trees, plants, flowers and shrubs. There’s even room for a wooden playhouse and swings to keep any little ones entertained.
Located within walking distance to Kew Green and the world heritage site of Kew Gardens, the leafy suburb has plenty of green spaces and outdoor activities to keep everyone happy, despite being as close as it is to the city. The area is particularly attractive for young families with a number of first class schools, such as Kew Green Prep, Broomfield House, Unicorn and Kew College, all situated nearby.
There’s also a lively village green, a cricket club and plenty of independent shops, restaurants and cafés to explore. Plus, the historic area is home to St Anne’s Church, where several artists and important botanists, including Thomas Gainsborough, lay to rest. Or you could take a tranquil stroll along the Thames towpath to The National Archives.
The property is currently on the market for £4,650,000 via Knight Frank.
