An elegant semi-detached Victorian townhouse, set within a large plot on this highly regarded road with gated off street parking, a garage and 115′ rear garden. The property offers excellent potential to extend, subject to planning.
Arranged over four natural floors, the house has been extended to provide additional living and entertaining space. Together with the attached garage, the property boasts an internal footprint of 2855 square feet, but has ample scope to extend further at the side and to the rear in order to future proof the house (S.T.U.C).
There is a bright entrance hall and a staircase with ornate balustrade providing access to the upper two floors and to the lower ground floor.
The drawing room is located to the front and with its glorious fireplace, bay window and decorative plaster ceiling. The impressive 28′ main reception room is overlooking the garden at the rear and has been extended to provide a unique turret with internal conical ceiling. This would make a wonderful dining space and a talking point for your guests. There is also a study on the ground floor and a very good sized kitchen with a vaulted ceiling.
On the first floor are two large double bedrooms, a separate cloakroom, full bathroom and en-suite shower. The second floor has two further bedrooms and “walk-in” access to a very large attic. The lower ground floor has a further double bedroom and bathroom, with its own separate front access and an understairs storage area for wine.
To the left of the house is a generous garage with a larger than average internal width of 11’5″ and a depth of 17′. Additional off road parking is provided within the paved forecourt.
Finally, to the rear, is an impressive private garden of 115′ in length, which is walled on two sides, has a selection of mature shrubs and trees, a charming arched metal pergola and is mainly laid to lawn.
Ailsa Road is one of most desirable addresses in St Margarets. It is a grand, sweeping road, with mature trees and some of the largest and most imposing houses in the area. It is also the widest road by far and due to the fact most houses have the benefit of driveways and off road parking, the street has a less congested feel.
The property is located within a quarter of a mile of St Margarets village centre and station, which provides a regular service to London Waterloo. There are also a great selection of small independent shops, restaurants and pubs and numerous cafes with outdoor seating, giving the area a very distinctive cosmopolitan feel. The River Thames is within a 5 minute walk of the property, with pleasant walks across Richmond Lock to The Old Deer Park, Richmond town centre and Old Isleworth. For the motorist, the A316 provides access to Central London and to the M3 / M25 motorways.
