Description

This detached seven bedroom, four bathroom house offers a highly appealing lateral
lifestyle ideal for family life. An immediate sense of space is evident as one arrives in the generous reception hall on entering the house. The strong interaction between the principle living space and the garden is one of the most striking features of the house. Significant natural light, due to the southerly orientation at the back of the house, streams in even on the dullest of days. Under floor heating and double glazed wooden casement windows combine to maintain an efficient and comfortable environment during the cooler months. There is also air conditioning in four of the
bedrooms to keep the house cooler in the warmer months.
A fabulous kitchen/family room is a terrific informal area in which to live and the kitchen in particular caters for almost every conceivable culinary need with 4 dishwasher drawers, a 4
oven AGA, multiple waste disposals and extensive refrigeration. There is a generous separate utility
room off the kitchen which keeps the appliances out of sight and sound. The television room has an
integrated audio system thereby immersing the viewer in the programme or film being watched.
The more formal reception room is at the back of the house and has access to the garden.
There is also a study at the front of the house. On the upper floors the principle bedroom is particularly generous and benefits from a wonderful view of the garden through double doors and from a charming balcony.
A large guest suite also has a full bathroom and 5 further bedrooms and 3 further bathrooms gives plenty of versatility and again are bathed in an abundance of natural light. Many overlook the garden. One of the most wonderful features is the remarkably private and secluded garden.
Rarely do gardens in Richmond have either this size or degree of privacy. Numerous
shrubs, plants and trees provide interest and there is also screening around the
boundaries.
To the side of the house there is useful covered storage for bicycles, garden equipment and other larger household items. The front of the house has been sympathetically landscaped and provides off street parking for two cars.
