Location

Onslow Road is regarded as one of Richmond Hill's finest roads and the house is superbly positioned within the road, just a hundred and fifty metres from the local shops at Friars Stile Road, which provide a charming village atmosphere and cater extremely well for day to day needs. Whilst just a few hundred metres in the other direction Richmond town offers a wonderful and sophisticated array of shops and restaurants as well as the much acclaimed Richmond Theatre.

The commuter is well served by a rapid and direct train service into London Waterloo, as well as the District Line tube and the overland line to Stratford, via North London.

Richmond Park and a particularly scenic stretch of the River Thames are also nearby and offer an ideal retreat from the hubbub of daily life.

Local schools enjoy an excellent reputation and are amongst the best in the country.

Description

Offering well balanced and generously proportioned accommodation over just three floors (excluding the cellar) this fine late Victorian home has been beautifully renovated, with a real depth of quality and style. The elegant room proportions are further emphasised by the high ceilings and excellent flow of natural light throughout.

Whilst there is a contemporary twist our clients have been particularly careful to both preserve and enhance the period integrity of the house. Features of note include gorgeous cornicing, lovely fireplaces, large sash hung windows and a striking staircase.

On the ground floor there is a fabulous formal reception room with a wide bay window to the front of the house, which opens into a simply stunning kitchen/family room that has enormous floor to ceiling sliding glass doors - flooding the room with light and 'bringing the garden into the house'. This room also features two exposed brick walls, giving it a chic modernist feel that is dramatic but doesn't compromise the homeliness of the house. There is also a study area on this floor, as well as a most welcoming hallway, a guest cloakroom and access to the cellar. Whilst upstairs there are five well proportioned bedrooms that are served by three superbly appointed bathrooms, as well as a first floor laundry room.

To the front of the house there is off street parking and a very useful storage area for bicycles and suchlike, whilst to the rear there is a delightfully landscaped walled garden that features a large patio for alfresco dining.
