The property benefits from a private garden area that is fully maintained by the landlord’s gardener at no extra cost, along with extensive communal gardens that include a dedicated children’s play area, allowing for privacy or the chance to socialise with other residents in a friendly community environment.

A modern electric vehicle charging point is available on a convenient pay-as-you-go system, easily operated via smartphone. The building has been carefully updated to achieve an EPC rating of C, thanks to high levels of insulation, secondary glazing with low-emissivity glass, condensing boilers, thermostatic radiator valves, and LED lighting throughout. With its blend of period character, contemporary efficiency, and an unbeatable position moments from Richmond Park, Longfield House offers a rare opportunity to enjoy refined living in one of southwest London’s most desirable locations.’
