Queens Road, Richmond

5 Bedroom House for sale in Richmond

3 5 2

A fine example of an Edwardian detached family residence situated in highly desirable residential neighbourhood on the lower part of Richmond Hill / Village with easy access to the world-famous Richmond Park – a Royal Park designated a national nature reserve..    



This architecturally interesting and eye-catching detached home with its steeple roof and decorative finial, occupies a prominent position on the corner of Marchmont Road and Queens Road.  Following recent sympathetic renovation, this lovely home is full of charm and character of the Edwardian period.  The house retains considerable original detail; typical of the period, the room sizes are generous and the natural light from the windows on all sides is especially noticeable throughout the whole house. 



The accommodation is arranged naturally across a favoured two floors; the gross internal area extends to a comfortable 263 sqm / 2,830 sqft.  To the ground floor an imposing receiving hall sets the tone and scale of things to come with its easy-rising galleried staircase offset beautifully against newly laid herringbone wood parquet flooring throughout the entire ground floor.  



To one side of the hallway you find an elegant drawing room with fireplace and bay window, and adjacent to this a further reception room that would make a wonderful play room, study or music room.  A striking feature of the home is a delightful open-plan kitchen/dining/family room measuring some 9.16 x 8.24m (30 x 27ft).  Although partially open-plan to accentuate a sociable environment, the newly installed kitchen with island is set-back allowing for greater interaction between the dining and sitting areas.  To complete the ground floor is a separate store/utility off the kitchen, as well a guest W.C at the end hallway with fitted joinery for coats and shoes.

           

Upstairs, passing an expansive and intricate leaded side window on the half-landing, this floor gives way to five double bedrooms (four with built-in wardrobes) two bathrooms, in addition to a separate W.C.  A ceiling hatch on the landing with pull-down-ladder opens to a cavernous loft space, partially boarded to provide useful attic storage.  It should be noted that this space could easily be converted to provide further accommodation, if necessary (stpp) 



Outside, the garden is extremely pretty and well tended with a lovely patio area which bathe in natural sunshine. The front of the property has a deep, wall-enclosed, garden with vehicular and pedestrian access from Marchmont Road, with gates opening to comfortable parking for two / three vehicles.    



Location:  Once again voted as No.1 London Borough (Telegraph) based on data driven analysis of 34 categories.  The property is ideally located for families, with top-rated state schools nearby, include Marshgate, Holy Trinity, and Christ's.  Richmond Village, Hill and town centre are all easily accessible, in our opinion offering an unrivalled combination of quality independent retailers, restaurants and amenities, together with vast areas of outstanding natural beauty for outdoor activities, and relaxation.  This includes access to Richmond Park, with its 2500 acres of deer-inhabited nature reserve, which is reachable on foot approx. ¼ mile (600m) away via the pedestrian only ‘Cambrian Gate’, the main ‘Richmond Gate’ is just at the top of Queens Road. 



Central Richmond is 0.8 mile (1.2km) and the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew are just over a mile away (1.8km) via the most direct route to Kew’s Lion Gate.  Other schools in the area cater for all ages and there is a mixture of very good state and independent choices including Kings House, The Old Vicarage, Kew College and Sheen Mount Primary to name a few. International schools close by include The German School located in Petersham, The Swedish School in Barnes and the International School London (ISL) in Ealing.
