Location

Mount Ararat Road is one of Richmond Hill's finest roads. The house is enviably positioned at the upper end of the road within just 250 metres of the local shops at Friars Stile Road, which cater very well for day to day needs and have a lovely village atmosphere. 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. A rapid and direct overland train service into London Waterloo and the District underground tube provide excellent connections to central London. Richmond Park and a particularly scenic stretch of the River Thames can also be found within a few hundred metres and provide an ideal retreat from the hubbub of daily life. Local schools enjoy an excellent reputation and are amongst the best in the country

Description

Arranged over four floors this handsome home is a superb example of Victorian architecture, with its elegant facade of mellow stock brick relieved by large sash hung windows and elegant stone surrounds. Internally this period integrity is also beautifully intact, with a numbers of features such as high corniced ceilings, picture rails, fireplaces and operational box window shutters. Whilst at garden level there is a more contemporary theme with a stunning open plan kitchen/family/dining room that extends the full depth of the house and has floor to ceiling sliding glass doors that further enhance the already excellent flow of natural light and effectively 'bring the garden into the house.' There is also superb bike storage, a dedicated laundry room and a very useful separate side access to this level. To the raised ground floor there is a most elegant through reception room with particularly high ceilings, as well as a guest bedroom suite. Whilst upstairs there are five further bedrooms and two further bathrooms. To the rear of the house there is a charming, well proportioned and established walled garden.
