5 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Occupying an enviable position overlooking the historic Richmond Green, this exceptional early Georgian house dates from the 1720s and is believed to be one of the oldest surviving homes in Richmond. Formerly owned by the Crown until 1961, the property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a house of genuine architectural and historical significance. Having been in the same ownership for the past 27 years, the house has been thoughtfully and sympathetically refurbished in recent years, combining period elegance with the comforts of modern living. The accommodation is arranged over five impressive floors, offering both grandeur and versatility. The house is entered via a striking entrance hall of impressive proportions, creating an immediate sense of arrival. At its centre is a beautiful Adam-style fireplace, setting the tone for the refined period detailing that continues throughout the house. To the rear lies a superbly appointed kitchen, fitted with bespoke Poggenpohl cabinetry, Miele appliances, and a traditional Aga. The space flows naturally into a bright conservatory, providing an elegant setting for informal dining and day-to-day living while overlooking the garden. The first floor provides an outstanding formal reception room, with maple wood flooring, a second Adam-style fireplace, and wonderful views across both Richmond Green and Little Green. This floor also accommodates a generous double bedroom with built-in storage. The second floor comprises two substantial double bedrooms, including the principal suite, with en-suite bathrooms of the highest quality (Lefroy Brooks) and a strong sense of period character and scale. The top floor features a further spacious room with built in workspace for a laptop, printer etc, currently arranged as a distinguished home office. From here, a door opens onto a remarkable roof terrace, believed to be one of the only terraces overlooking Richmond Green. Created in the mid 1980’s at the latest, it affords far-reaching panoramic views across the Green and the surrounding rooftops of Richmond. Formal planning consent may be required for advanced use. The lower ground floor is arranged as a self-contained one-bedroom apartment with its own bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room, offering excellent flexibility. It has historically been used for guest accommodation, staff, extended family, or independent living for older children. Externally, the property benefits from a mature walled garden providing exceptional privacy, together with off-street parking for two vehicles-a particularly rare and valuable feature in this prime Richmond Green setting. Richmond is widely regarded as one of West London’s most desirable towns, combining historic charm with excellent connectivity. Richmond Station is within approximately three minutes’ walk, providing swift access to Central London via the District Line, Overground and National Rail services. The property is also just a short walk from the landmark Richmond Theatre, a beautiful Victorian venue that adds to the area’s cultural appeal. The area is also renowned for its boutique shops, acclaimed restaurants, the River Thames, and the open spaces of Richmond Green and nearby Richmond Park. The sale of the house will be on a chain free basis. EPC Rating | E Council Tax Band | H
