Location

The property nestles idyllically on the banks of this particularly scenic stretch of The River Thames, within just a few hundred meters of historic Richmond Bridge - London's oldest surviving Thames crossing. Just the other side of the bridge Richmond has a sophisticated selection of boutiques and restaurants, as well as an excellent representation by many of the major retail outlets.

Richmond train station provides a rapid and direct overland service into London Waterloo, as well as the District line tube and Overground to Stratford via north London.

Local schools, including the recently opened Thomas's College, enjoy an excellent reputation and are considered amongst the best in the country.

Description

This delightful five bedroom family home was built around the turn of the century and occupies an idyllic riverside setting. It benefits from a private pontoon mooring as well as off-street parking for several cars. The ground floor has a large reception room with a stone fireplace and sliding glass doors which provide direct access to the riverside garden. Opposite the reception room is a spacious kitchen/family room, which features a range cooker, wine fridge, breakfast bar and adjacent pantry. From here, French doors open out onto an enclosed patio which benefits from an electric sun canopy.

On the lower ground floor is a useful multi-purpose room (office / gym / bedroom) with an en-suite, an adjacent utility room and several storage cupboards. This floor also has garden access via a charming private courtyard. The principal bedroom is on the first floor, which features a stylish glass-walled en suite bathroom and a balcony which enjoys panoramic river views. Also on this floor are two further double bedrooms, a walk-in wardrobe and a family bathroom. The second floor has two additional en suite bedrooms.

Outside there is a lovely landscaped garden with attractive flower beds and mature plantings, along with a garden outhouse which provides storage for garden equipment and / or bicycles. The property also benefits from parking for up to four cars. At the bottom of the garden is direct access to a private pontoon mooring, which also provides an ideal location for fishing (a 12lb carp has previously been caught from here!)
The adjacent raised decked area provides stunning elevated views of the river and is a wonderful spot for al fresco entertaining.
