5 Bed Detached House For Sale

A striking early Victorian home on Richmond Green


Description

Commanding an enviable position overlooking Richmond Green, this imposing early Victorian villa presents a true lifestyle purchase.

The Grade II listed property has undergone a series of refurbishments over the years, but gives a buyer the chance to put their own stamp on an already impressive offering.

With reception rooms on the raised ground floor providing views over both the gardens to the rear and Richmond Green to the front, the flow of natural light afforded by the substantial sash hung windows is truly wonderful and further enhances the sense of volume in the house.

On entering the property you are welcomed by high ceilings with decorative cornicing and a slowly rising staircase leading you to the first and second floors. To the front you have a generous reception room and at the rear the dining room. From the hallway you find a cloakroom and W.C and can walk out on to steps leading down to the garden and access to the rear of the garage.

The lower ground floor holds the utility room, a further W.C and the generous open plan kitchen with space for informal dining and a cosy 'snug' with access through French doors to the patio - perfect for barbecues and al fresco dining.

The first and second floors place five double bedrooms - two of which are complete with ensuite shower rooms and a further generous family bathroom.

The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature borders and to the front you have access to the garage through double doors and off-street parking for at least two cars.
