Ormeley Lodge Estate, Richmond, London, TW10

An exquisite early Georgian estate occupying an exceptional position between Richmond Park and Ham Common, Ormeley Lodge is one of London's most remarkable private residences. Set within approximately 2.5 acres of magnificent walled gardens and extending to around 16,000 sq ft, the Grade II* listed estate comprises the principal house together with an outstanding collection of ancillary accommodation, all enjoying a wonderfully peaceful setting just 10 miles from Hyde Park Corner.



Dating from the final years of the Stuart period and the beginning of the Georgian era, Ormeley Lodge beautifully embodies both English Baroque and Classical architecture. The principal rooms enjoy ceiling heights averaging more than 11 feet, while elegant proportions, original fireplaces, intricate cornicing and magnificent sash windows create wonderfully bright interiors that retain all the balance and grandeur of early eighteenth-century design. Remarkably, the estate remains intact, preserving not only the principal residence but also its historic collection of cottages, service buildings and beautifully enclosed gardens.



The ground floor has been arranged for both formal entertaining and relaxed family life. A magnificent drawing room and handsome library sit alongside an elegant dining room, while the generous kitchen is served by a pantry, breakfast room and staff room.



Extensive ancillary accommodation, including a wine cellar and substantial storage rooms, ensures the house is as practical as it is impressive, while the grand entrance hall and sweeping staircase provide an unforgettable introduction to the home.



The upper floors offer exceptional bedroom accommodation centred around a magnificent principal suite with its own private study. A second suite benefits from an adjoining dressing room, while the remaining bedrooms provide generous accommodation for family and guests. A self-contained guest apartment with its own sitting room adds further flexibility, allowing the house to accommodate multi-generational living or long-term visitors with ease.



Beyond the principal residence, the estate continues with an outstanding collection of ancillary buildings. Positioned next to the main house sits Ormeley Mews, which provides garaging and gardeners’ facilities on the ground floor and a first floor studio flat. Also accessed from the main courtyard is a guest cottage, arranged as two separate flats. Behind this sits the very pretty Ormeley Lodge Cottage which enjoys both a front and rear garden. Next to the Estate and available by separate negotiation, sits Bramlings, a detached 3 bedroom cottage with its own private garden.



The gardens are every bit as remarkable as the house itself. Traditional walled gardens unfold into wide herbaceous borders, wildflower meadows, an orchard and productive fruit and vegetable gardens, while an aviary, secluded south-facing swimming pool with its pavilion and an all-weather tennis court complete this extraordinary private estate. Altogether, the grounds provide an exceptional sense of peace and privacy within one of London's most sought-after settings.



Ormeley Lodge enjoys an exceptional position immediately beside Richmond Park and Ham Common Woods, placing more than 2,500 acres of Royal Parkland quite literally on the doorstep. Richmond town centre is just a couple of miles away, offering direct services to London Waterloo, the District line and London Overground, together with an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Petersham Nurseries, The Dysart, Scott's Richmond and The Ivy Richmond Brasserie are all within easy reach, while the area is also renowned for its outstanding schools and beautiful riverside walks.
