A lovely private garden is planted with mature trees and shrubs and enjoys gated access to the service road behind.  This property comes with a lock-up garage and a parking space in tandem.  

The concept of Span living is the marriage between the built and natural environment, engendering the quiet sense of retreat from the city that is so loved by Fieldend's residents.  There is an active community and Residents Association. 

Fieldend in Strawberry Hill, Twickenham, is often considered to be one of the most appealing of Eric Lyons’ Span estates. Built in 1961, there are 51 houses that enjoy shared access to beautifully maintained communal gardens with seating areas, together with plenty of resident and visitor parking bays.  Garden landscaping is now Grade II-listed in recognition of its distinctive vision. The estate is largely pedestrianised – with a perimeter road allowing for access to garages.  There are three EV charging points for residents.

The Architect

Span is perhaps the most celebrated of all 20th-century residential developers, with many of their buildings throughout the south of England now listed. Founded by architect-turned-developer Geoff Townsend and Eric Lyons (thoroughly schooled in the modern movement having worked for Bauhaus designer Walter Gropius from 1936-37), their designs sought to bring the tenets of modernism – light, openness, a sense of order – to suburban areas on a domestic scale. The company built 30 housing estates between 1948 and 1984.

Location

Fieldend Estate can be found in Strawberry Hill, a popular residential neighbourhood in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.  Teddington and Twickenham high streets are both one mile away. Teddington was voted the best place to live in London by The Times in 2021 and boasts a vast array of quality independent retailers, restaurants & cafés, and a recently launched farmers’ market. Twickenham has a range of shops and pubs including a Waitrose and a farmers’ market on Saturdays.

The larger shopping areas of Kingston and Richmond are within easy reach. Fieldend is abt. a 10-minute walk from the River Thames at Radnor Gardens as well as Teddington Lock with access to the towpath for walking and cycling routes in both directions. Bushy Royal Park is also close by, next to Hampton Court Palace.  Richmond Park is a few miles away.

There are good transport links in the area. Strawberry Hill Station is a 10-minute walk and offers services to London Waterloo with journey times of around 35 mins (fast trains from Twickenham 21-22 mins). There are regular buses into Richmond (where the Underground also runs District Line services) and Kingston. It is a short drive to the M3, with good access to the M25 and M4.
