Sheen Road, Richmond, Surrey, TW9

An architecturally distinguished and magnificently proportioned family home

Description

Set behind wrought iron railings and forming the left hand side of this stunning pair of Victorian houses the property is arranged over four floors, providing extensive family accommodation, well in excess of 4000 square feet. Its beautiful facade of mellow stock brick is relieved by particularly generous sash hung windows and features distinctive red brick soldier coursing, as well as an ornate first floor balcony and gorgeous double doors to the entrance porch. Once inside you are greeted by a fabulous and welcoming hallway with a most elegant staircase and tessellated marble floor.

The room proportions are something to behold and further emphasised by the high ceilings and excellent natural light, that is afforded by the lovely open aspects and large windows. Our clients have thoughtfully and creatively renovated the house, being very careful to enhance its wonderful period integrity with tasteful and somewhat flamboyant decorative touches. Other features of note include ornate ceiling cornicing, beautiful fireplaces, stripped wood floors, an exquisite Clive Christian kitchen and a fabulous raised conservatory that our clients believe is original to the house. Whilst arranged over four levels the house is surprisingly lateral in its layout and offers great flexibility for generational living, with a lower ground floor that could readily be self contained, if so required.

To the rear of the house there is a delightful and well established walled garden that allows plenty of space for both children to play and alfresco dining. At the end of the garden there are gates that open to provide secure off street parking.

Location

The house is superbly and conveniently situated in the very heart of Richmond town centre - much acclaimed for its sophisticated yet charming shops and restaurants. Richmond train station is within just a few hundred yards and provides a rapid overland service direct into London Waterloo, as well as the District Line tube and overland to Stratford - via north London. Local schools enjoy an excellent reputation and are considered amongst the best in the country. Richmond Park and a particularly scenic stretch of the River Thames are also nearby and provide an ideal retreat from the hubbub of daily life.
