Riverdale Gardens, Twickenham, TW1

A deceptively spacious family home located on this premier river road in East Twickenham. Providing in excess of 2100 square foot of accommodation, with a stunning 128’ landscaped rear garden, large garden office, off street parking and separate garage.

This superb property was built in the 1930’s and, unlike earlier Victorian properties, offers wider room proportions and large picture windows, which all add to the feeling of light and space throughout. This first greets you when you open the front door into a beautifully wide and welcoming entrance hall, which has a large side window bringing in the south-westerly sunlight.
The ground floor also provides a cloakroom, a spacious front drawing room with feature fireplace, which opens, via double doors, to a further informal family sitting / TV room with further fireplace and then, in turn, to the dining room. In total, these three connecting rooms provide a spectacular entertaining space of approximately 44’ from front to rear. Adjacent to the dining room and semi-open plan, is the kitchen, which is fitted with an extensive selection of cabinets. Both are set within a stunning rear extension, which has four large skylights to the ceiling, additional fixed fanlights to the side and sliding patio doors stepping out to the rear patio and garden.

To the first floor can be found four of the five bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate cloakroom. Whilst to the top floor is the principle bedroom suite with a generous 18’9 x 14’1 bedroom, which leads to an en-suite bathroom. Access is also provided to circa 64 square foot of eaves storage.

Externally the house is set well back from the road with an area of paved hardstanding providing off street parking. There is an attractive planted border to the side and rear of this space. Side access is also gained to a separate garage. To the rear of the property is a gardener’s dream. Some 128’ of landscaped garden with a wonderful selection of plants, shrubs and mature trees. A paved patio leads to an expanse of lawn and then to an almost secret part of the garden, which has a substantial freestanding Summer House or home office.
