Crown Yard, 16 Crown Road, St Margarets, Twickenham, TW1

A charming detached house in the heart of St Margaret's.


Description

This truly one-of-a-kind one-bedroom detached house offers a compelling blend of period character, contemporary open-plan design, and a location that’s hard to rival. Set just 0.1 miles from St Margarets Station, the property is tucked away behind a set of secure double gates, with off-street parking for two vehicles, creating a peaceful and private retreat right in the centre of this vibrant and highly sought-after village.

From the moment you step inside, the home’s distinctive charm is evident. The expansive open-plan kitchen and reception area is the heart of the house — a light-filled space with striking double-vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. The living area is ideal for relaxing or entertaining, with large windows allowing in plenty of natural light and offering views onto the front and side aspects of the home.

The kitchen is beautifully appointed and centred around a classic AGA oven, perfect for both everyday cooking and hosting. There is ample space for dining and lounging, with flexible room for bespoke furnishings. The rich textures of the fitted carpets, wood finishes, and detailing create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.

The property comprises a large generously sized double bedroom, thoughtfully positioned to make the most of the vaulted ceilings and layout. In addition to the main bedroom, the house features two mezzanine levels, accessed via stair ladders, offering versatile bonus spaces that could serve as a guest room, home offices, reading retreats, yoga platforms, walk in wardrobes or creative studios. These unique elevated areas further distinguish the property and maximise its living potential.

Externally, the home benefits from being completely detached, allowing for natural light on all sides and a true sense of independence rarely found in the area. The gated front driveway offers excellent security and convenience, with room for two cars — a major asset in this popular location.
