This unique charming chalet-style lodge was built circa 1880 and has been remodelled in recent years to suit modern living standards, retaining the original features and old-world charm while creating an open-plan living space ideal for entertaining. Neither house nor garden are overlooked yet remain close to shops, excellent schools and transport links including both Richmond and North Sheen stations.

The whole house is fully insulated, double glazed and benefits from weather-compensated underfloor heating throughout including towel rails in the bathrooms. This period property boasts an incredible EPC rating C, bettering many newer builds. The flooring is beautiful wide plank oak throughout, except the tiled kitchen and bathrooms. Security is covered by inconspicuous CCTV with night colour vision, external dawn-til-dusk lighting, alarm system and secure keypad entry to the original studded timber front door. The whole house is wired for internet in addition to the wifi.

All hot water (including the underfloor heating) come from the Vaillant gas combi storage boiler so there is always mains-pressure hot water available upon demand.

Lounge: 45m2 with original bay window and a central chimney housing a room-sealed gas tunnel fire so no hassle of supplying fuel and cleaning out, just instant remote-controlled ambience. There is open-plan access to the original timber staircase with exposed brick wall adding wonderful texture and character. The staircase is flooded with natural light and the chandelier over has an (optional) motion sensor for automatic lighting. The under-stairs cupboard provides useful storage, 2 sets of double glazed doors lead to:
