Arlington Road III, London TW11

This handsome three-bedroom house lies in leafy Teddington, south-west London, and has been recently renovated and expanded to an impeccable finish by the current owners. Set within a three-storey Victorian terrace, the interiors have been thoughtfully updated with reconfigured ceiling heights that enhance the flow of natural light. A neutral palette and exquisite material finishes are expertly paired with bespoke joinery throughout. A new annexe studio extends the living spaces into the private rear garden.



The Tour



Set within a Victorian terrace in a quiet cul-de-sac, the house lies behind a well-maintained, low walled patio with concealed bin storage and lush greenery. The traditional brick façade was recently refreshed and updated with new, black-framed glazing, lending a contemporary edge, and a new slate roof.



At the front, the black-painted front door reveals a bright hallway, with direct sightline toward the east-facing garden and generous built-in cupboards with storage space for coats and shoes. Immediately to the right is a versatile study/reception room, with crisp white walls and a large west-facing bay window.



The interiors pared-back elegance is expressed through clean lines and a restrained palette of colours and materials, with seamless finishes and beautifully crafted joinery. Fitted storage is artfully concealed across all floors, fostering a sense of calm and refined simplicity. Light oak hardwood floors extend underfoot and continue throughout the house.



Set within the spacious rear extension and a slightly off-centre pitched roof, the inviting open plan kitchen is flooded with natural light pouring from two expansive glass windows above. Sliding glass doors open out onto the garden, enhancing the impression of volume and spaciousness.



Bespoke oak-veneered units and a generous bank of floor-to-ceiling cupboards are anchored by a generous central island, where white quartz surfaces house an integrated sink and counter seats for casual dining. Integrated appliances by Bosch include induction hob, double oven, dishwasher and full-height fridge/freezer. A spacious sitting area flows seamlessly from the kitchen and has direct access to a separate WC room.



Bound by a shadow gap and solid oak wood slats, a sleek oak staircase ascends to the upper floors.



On the first floor, the serene principal bedroom lies at the front, finished with a neutral palette and bathed in warm afternoon light. There is a wall of built-in wardrobes and newly fitted glazing that overlook the front garden. Across the landing is a substantial walk-in wardrobe/bedroom, with full-height fitted joinery on all sides and, integrated, Bosch washing and drying machines. From here, a door opens to an elegant wet room; fitted with large tiles in soft grey tones with underfloor heating, it has a large bathtub and walk-in shower.



There is one further bedroom on the top floor, set withing the eaves and currently arranged as a generous children’s room. It has its own en suite with bathtub and shower.



Outdoor Space



The kitchen opens to the private garden at the rear. Bordered by wood screens and mature plantings of bamboo, it is predominantly occupied by a paved terrace with space for outdoor dining, and a well-kept grassy lawn. Underneath the decking there is even a hidden sandpit for kids.



There is a path leading toward a studio annexe at the far end of the garden. Clad in black timber-effect planks, this versatile space is suited to function as a home office or workshop and has further integrated storage and a separate shower room.
