Location

Close House is wonderfully positioned within this exclusive and private backwater in the heart of Petersham Village. Petersham is an enchanting hamlet that nestles idyllically between Royal Richmond Park (with its stunning 2300 deer inhabited acres) and a particularly scenic stretch of the River Thames, and was once a favourite hunting ground for the sovereigns of the 17th Century.

The sophisticated yet charming shops and restaurants of Richmond are within just one mile and Hyde Park Corner is within approximately 9 miles. Whilst within just a few hundred metres one can find the fabulous Petersham Nurseries (with their award winning restaurant), the much acclaimed Ham Polo Club and Richmond Golf Course.

Richmond train station offers a rapid and direct service into London Waterloo, as well as the District line tube and overland to Stratford, via north London. Local schools enjoy an exceptional reputation and are considered amongst the best in the country.

Description

Built in 2010 Close House was thoughtfully and creatively designed to compliment its semi-rural surroundings, with a strong emphasis on natural light and lateral space. Whilst lending itself perfectly to family living it is equally well set up for more formal entertaining, with a wonderfully proportioned open plan reception room and a beautifully appointed kitchen/family/dining room to the ground floor. Staying on this level there is also a guest cloakroom and a fabulous laundry room, which in turn provides access into the integral garage. Whilst to the first floor there are five bedrooms and four shower/ bathrooms, two of which are en-suite. The delightful and private garden surrounds the house to three sides with a large gravel swept parking area and garage to the front, providing parking for several cars.
