5 Bed Detached House For Sale

Once in a generation there comes an opportunity to own a truly modern classic English five bedroom, six bathroom home situated between Richmond Park and central Sheen, and yet a world away from it all.

Griffin House is a substantial house located on a half-acre of walled land which includes an 80' frontage and more than 150' deep garden lined with mature trees and shrubs- plenty of space for a tennis court, swimming pool, or indeed, a proper game of football. This historical house has been cared for and sympathetically updated over three centuries and maintains a gorgeous "country house" feel. Originally a coach house, it remains open, gracious and generous with over 4000 sq ft of living space and extra high ceilings. Every room in this house overlooks the private south facing garden with plenty of off street parking.

This gracious home's interior is bathed in natural light from the 13 floor-to-ceiling triple-glazed south-facing windows and is well-arranged over two storeys. With 12' ceilings throughout the property, the ground floor comprises a grand entry hall with sweeping architectural staircase, two large reception rooms with working fireplace, a study surrounded by greenery, a large bonus ensuite bedroom with sitting area and separate entrance- all with vintage parquet flooring throughout. In addition, there is a large coat closet, a powder room, a laundry/utility room and a bright, spacious gourmet kitchen. All appliances are Miele with induction hob and underfloor heating. The upper floor accommodates a further 4 bedrooms including a Master Suite with his/her dressing areas with his/her ensuites! The Master Suite has vaulted ceilings and fantastic views. The guest room is double aspect with ensuite and there are two further substantial double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The upper floor landing is bright and spacious with a lovely view of Wembley stadium 10 miles away! All principle rooms in this wonderful home enjoy gorgeous views over the mature private gardens and are tastefully decorated with generous proportions.

Griffin House is situated adjacent to Sheen Mount School and near Sheen Common which leads onto Richmond Park with its 2500 acres of natural parkland and bike trails. Griffin House is also steps away from the High Street which leads to East Sheen and Richmond town centres for shops, cinemas and leisure centres. Commuters are well-served in that both Mortlake and Richmond train stations leading into London are within walking distance. For motorists, the A3, M3, and M4 are closeby.
