Wilmer Close, Kingston Upon Thames, KT2

This maisonette ticks almost everything on the top 10 list for buyers. Good quality decor is top of the list with 79%. This property is very well finished, the bathroom is contemporary, the kitchen is fitted with its own door to the garden. Tick. Fundamental to living today, there is the potential for ultrafast fibre to the property at up to 1800mb (this is second on the list for buyers at 77%). Another Tick.

A front door of its own.

This is a ground floor maisonette with its own entrance from the outside, and everything behind that door is on one level: 748 sq ft, two double bedrooms, a bay-fronted reception room, kitchen and bathroom. Square footage sits 10th on the list, and at 748 sq ft this delivers. Tick.

Two gardens, not a share of a lawn.

Outdoor space ranks joint second, and there is a garden front and rear. We think this deserves two ticks. The front runs 24 ft 11 by 19 ft 3, which is a bigger piece of ground than most terraced houses in Kingston, with the reception room's bay window looking straight over it. The rear is 28 ft 10 by 12 ft 10, and the kitchen door opens into it.

Close to everything, quiet where it counts.

Distance to town has climbed six places in a year as people moved back towards the office, and Wilmer Close sits well for it: a bus stop at Wingfield Road 0.17 miles away, Norbiton for Waterloo, Kingston and Richmond in either direction. But the close itself is a cul-de-sac, so the only cars on it belong to people who live here, and Richmond Park and Ham Common are on the doorstep. Buyers rank both how built-up an area is and how close the parks are (so that is 8 and 9 on the list). Tick and Tick again.

Doubles all round.

The reception room is 14 ft 4 into the bay by 14 ft 2. Both bedrooms are genuine doubles, 13 ft by 12 ft 1 and 12 ft 11 by 9 ft 4, both face on to gardens. The kitchen is 10 ft 3 by 9 ft 2, fitted, with the door out. The bathroom is done.

All power. To the outbuilding.

Separate to the garden shed. There is a brick outbuilding, with power already run into it. Ten foot seven by three foot seven. Bikes, mower, tools, and everything that would otherwise be living in a bedroom.

Good to know before you go.

Ground rent is £10 a year. The service charge is between £200 and £250, variable and set annually, so ask us for the current year's figure. Yes it is heated on electric, but the storage heaters in most rooms are new and efficient.

Schools still add up, at 13th on the list.

Lower down most buyers' lists than agents assume, but worth knowing: Tiffin Girls, Fern Hill Primary and Alexandra Primary are all within a mile, all rated Outstanding, with St Agatha's Catholic Primary and Latchmere both Good and closer still. Three Ticks.

11th most important is shops, and there are plenty nearby. Final Tick.

No chain, less pain.

The property is offered with no onward chain. For people who don't buy a house every day, this is an enormous benefit, especially if you aren't in a chain yourself. Nationally, almost one agreed sale in four fell through before exchange in the first quarter of 2026, and 38% of those collapses came within four weeks of the sale being agreed (TwentyCi). A chain-free seller removes the biggest part of that worry: there is nobody above us to let you down. It also puts you in charge of the timetable. Exchange currently averages 134 days nationally; here, the seller's side is ready when you are. And it is rarer than it sounds: only around a third of homes on the market can say it.

Ready when you are.

Viewings run weekday afternoons from 12.30pm and book online without waiting for us to open. Twenty minutes is the standard slot, longer if you want it.

Seller says: “We love this property and don’t really want to sell it. Everybody that has lived there loves the garden and location. We have thought about renting it out and last time it was snapped up by a lovely couple. We really do hope we find a buyer who loves it as much as we do and they did.”

New to the area?

Kingston is named after a stone. The Coronation Stone, still standing by Clattern Bridge, crowned seven Saxon kings, starting in 902. North Kingston keeps a quieter version of all that history: the riverside along Lower Ham Road is a conservation area and home to the rowing and sailing clubs, and the walk to town runs through Canbury Gardens, past The Boaters, to Kingston Bridge, the first major Thames crossing above London Bridge until Westminster Bridge was built. Town brings the market square, trading for centuries beneath the Market House of 1840, and David Mach's Out of Order, red telephone boxes toppled like dominoes since 1988. Richmond Park is up the hill. We have been selling homes here since 1975, and we look forward to selling this one to you.
