The genteel enclave of East Twickenham, a firm favourite with families, is characterised by spacious and elegant homes that line half a dozen smart, tree-lined streets a short hop over Richmond Bridge.

​

There's a pleasing uniformity to these houses but stepping inside this substantial five-bedroomed property you understand its individual charms. Immediately, you're struck by its generous space, comfort and peace. 

​

With Victorian properties you often find a tumble of smaller sized rooms. Not here. Built for a well-to-do class, the rooms are spacious, the ceilings are high and the windows let in all the light you could want.

 

At once you're greeted with a beautiful hallway with a marvellous tiled floor and ornate cornicing that's classically Victorian. To the right, a gorgeous period living room with a stunning bay window that lets in a soft, dappled light, courtesy of the mature plantation to the front. 

​

The beating heart of this home, an enormous kitchen, dining living area, is found on the same floor. Looking out onto a good-sized southwest-facing garden, privacy is assured by the immense, life-affirming trees that border it. 

​

The first floor is airy and family-practical. Two bedrooms are big and bright with fantastic sash windows and the master bedroom benefits from another magnificent bay window and an en-suite bathroom. 

​

The layout on the second floor is versatile and could be put to a number of uses. The highlight though is a breathtaking 'room in the sky' with French windows giving way to a fantastic patio area - just the spot for a splash of pink with friends on a fine summer's evening! 

​

East Twickenham is a strong community that's well-served by a buzzy parade of independent shops, cafes and restaurants.  Cambridge Park Gardens, with tennis courts, playground and café, is a few minutes' walk away and picturesque Marble Hill Park with children's adventure playgrounds and sports fields is close by. A very pleasant stroll over scenic Richmond Bridge will have you in the town centre within ten minutes.
