Coombe End, Kingston Upon Thames, KT2

This beautiful property is approached via a deep mono block paved carriage driveway, with a central reserve that stocked with a variety of shrubs and bushes, leading to an oak beamed covered portico and double width integral garage and low garden lighting.

On entering the house via the solid Oak front door, one is welcomed with a spacious entrance hall with a galleried stairwell, wood strip floor boards and encased radiators. All the doors leading off the hall are part-glazed, allowing the sense of space and drawing light from all directions.

A pair of doors leads into the L-shaped double aspect drawing room, with French doors to the rear garden and a delightful stone surround fireplace, with another door leading into the double aspect study, which provides two walls of floor-to-ceiling book cases and sliding doors to the York Stone terrace.

The rear garden is deceptively wide, with very mature bushes concealing the corners, with a shed to one corner with a covered side access to the front. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with a real York Stone paved terrace across the width of the house.

There is still further scope to add an orangery to the back of the house, develop the loft and possibly extend over the garage, subject to the necessary planning consents.

LOCATION

Coombe End is a quiet enclave off Golf Club Drive and with no through traffic offers peace and tranquillity and a safe haven for children to play and enjoy the central lawn area. Coombe End has its own residents’ association that manages the roads and verges and even organises social events such as a summer party and Guy Fawkes Night for all to enjoy.

For the keen golfer (subject to admission), the exclusive Coombe Hill Golf Course, reputed to be one of the best in Greater London, is but a few minutes’ walk, as are bus stops for the No 57 with its frequent service to Kingston and Wimbledon town centres with their fast links to Surrey, the West End and the City. The A3 offers fast access to central London and both Gatwick and Heathrow airports via the M25 motorway. The nearest train station at New Malden provides frequent services to Vauxhall and London Waterloo with their underground links to points throughout the city.

The immediate area offers a wide range of recreational facilities including two other golf courses, tennis and squash clubs. Richmond Park, which is within easy access from the pedestrian gate from Ladderstile Ride, is an area of outstanding natural beauty, and provides a picturesque setting in which to picnic, go horse riding, jog or just take a leisurely walk. Theatres at Wimbledon and Richmond are also popular alternatives to the West End, together with an excellent choice of restaurants. There are numerous schools for all ages, private, state and a variety of international educational establishments all within the immediate vicinity.
