York Avenue

This is a 1960s townhouse with all the advantages that era quietly excels at: wide rooms, big windows, solid construction and a layout that adapts beautifully to modern family life. It’s also a blank canvas, the sort of home you can gradually shape into something incredibly cool and contemporary, without sacrificing the generous garden or practical footprint that newer builds simply don’t offer.
While the house is perfectly liveable as it is, the real magic lies in what you could make of it. These 1960s houses lend themselves brilliantly to modern design, think open plan reconfigurations, mid century styling, or a sleek contemporary upgrade. With such a large footprint and garden, the possibilities are exciting.
For families looking for space, practicality and the chance to create something truly special in one of East Sheen’s most desirable pockets, 75 York Avenue is a rare find.
Step through the porch, perfect for buggies, scooters and the daily swirl of coats and shoes and into a hallway lined with original parquet flooring. It sets the tone for the ground floor: warm, practical and full of character.

A home that works around family life...

Step through the porch — perfect for buggies, scooters and the daily swirl of coats and shoes, and into a hallway lined with original parquet flooring. It sets the tone for the ground floor: warm and practical. There’s also a really useful guest cloakroom on the ground floor, one of those small, thoughtful touches that quietly makes family life run more smoothly.
To the front is a peaceful study, ideal for working from home or as a homework den. Beyond this, the house opens into a modern family kitchen, a proper hub of the home with granite worktops, double oven, built in microwave and plenty of space to cook while keeping an eye on everything else going on.
A separate utility room keeps the noisy, messy bits out of sight with space for a washing machine, butler sink and storage, making day to day life that bit easier.
The dining room, again with parquet flooring, flows into a bright conservatory. It’s a lovely in between space: somewhere for morning coffee, children’s art projects, or simply throwing open the doors on warm days and letting the garden become part of the house.
On the first floor, the main reception room stretches across the width of the house. Large windows flood it with natural light, creating a calm, uplifting space for family evenings or entertaining.
A generous double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a family bathroom complete this level.
Upstairs, the top floor offers three further bedrooms and another family bathroom that sits between them, easing the pace of busy mornings.

The Area
You’d be hard pressed to find another community like East Sheen. It’s fun, vibrant and a mix of thoroughly interesting and creative types who love their neighbourhood, reflected in the colourful list of coffee shops, great pubs such as The Plough and The Hare and Hounds, and the lots of local independent restaurants and quirky retail shops.
It’s also a hub of public transport; another factor in this extraordinary city fringe destination, along with exceptional public spaces (Richmond Park and the River Thames), local Farmer’s Markets and being sandwiched between fabulous Barnes and Richmond, you’ll be thoroughly occupied and fulfilled at weekends. The A316 allows fast access to the M3, M4, M25 and beyond.
Close to Mortlake Station (fastest train is approx. twenty minutes to Waterloo), this is a superb family home in one of the most sought-after areas of South-West London.
Excellent schools, both state and private, are another huge bonus of living in the area and include Thomson House (Outstanding), East Sheen Primary (Outstanding), Tower House (Private) and The Harrodian (Private) to name but a few.
