Lock Road, Richmond, TW10

A substantial and notably flexible seven-bedroom family house of approximately 2,436 sq ft, combining a large open-plan living space, landscaped garden, separate garden studio and proper parking in one of Ham's favourite residential streets.

Set back behind a mature front hedge, the house offers the scale needed for a large family, while retaining enough separation for everyone not to live on top of one another.

At its centre is a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. Three skylights bring natural light into the heart of the house, while French doors open directly onto the garden.

Not one, not two, but three.

The kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances, including three ovens, a fridge freezer and hob. Solid oak parquet flooring runs throughout the ground floor and gives the different living spaces a consistent finish.

At the front of the house, a separate reception room with an open fireplace provides somewhere quieter. It works as a more formal sitting room, television room or simply a place to close the door when the main living space is busy.

A modern ground-floor shower room adds further practicality.

The first floor has five bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with en suite, together with a separate family bathroom. The second floor was refurbished recently to create two additional bedrooms.

The arrangement gives the house considerable flexibility. The upper rooms could remain as bedrooms or be used for guests, older children, home working or hobbies without sacrificing the garden studio.

Alfresco and studio living.

The landscaped south-east facing garden is arranged for both everyday use and entertaining.

A Mediterranean-style patio is complemented by established planting, including camellia, roses and an olive tree. French doors from the main living space make the garden feel properly connected to the house rather than somewhere visited only when the weather behaves.

The refurbished and insulated summer house provides genuinely separate additional space. It could work as a home office, gym, studio or quieter retreat, depending on what the next owner needs.

Let's take it off-road and zero emissions.

The driveway provides parking for two cars and leads to an integral garage with an electric Hörmann door. There is also an EV charging point.

Further features include column radiators, an alarm system, a high-security front door installed in 2022 and a Worcester boiler which the seller advises has been regularly serviced.

Green in every direction.

Ham Common and Richmond Park are both moments away, and the Thames at Teddington Lock is nearby, with towpath walks and cycle routes towards Kingston and Richmond. The house sits within reach of several outstanding schools, including The German School London, Tiffin Girls' School and Grey Court, whose Outstanding Ofsted rating was retained at its most recent inspection in February 2024, alongside popular local primaries. Buses connect to both Kingston and Richmond, each with mainline stations and, at Richmond, London Underground and Overground services for central London.

This is ultimately a house about flexibility: space to come together, several places to retreat, and enough bedrooms and additional rooms to keep adapting as family life changes.

New to the area?

This is the riverside end of Ham, where the towpath runs beside Petersham Meadows and cattle still graze under an Act of Parliament passed in 1902 to keep them there. Ham House has anchored this stretch since 1610. Stuart, National Trust, and reputedly one of the most haunted houses in England, ghost tours included. St Peter's at Petersham appears in the Domesday Book and keeps its Georgian box pews. Captain George Vancouver lies in the churchyard, and the city that took his name still sends a wreath every year. Children learn to sail and kayak on the ten-acre lake at Thames Young Mariners, fed by the river through its own lock gate. We have sold homes on these streets since 1975, and we look forward to selling this one to you
