Riverdale Gardens, Twickenham, TW1

A laterally configured and superbly located detached family home, with generous parking and a sensational garden

Description

This attractive detached 1930's family home occupies an incredibly generous plot and is a fine example of Art Deco architecture and character. As soon as you enter the house ones eye is immediately drawn to the striking curved staircase that leads from the welcoming reception hall. The property offers great lateral space and well balanced accommodation that is arranged over three floors and provides superbly for both everyday family life and more formal entertaining. Also of particular note is the wonderful flow of natural light that is afforded by the large windows and lovely open aspects. Whilst the house has been lovingly nurtured by our clients for over a quarter of a century there is excellent scope for incoming purchasers to put their own stamp on it and create a home to their exact specification and layout. The beautifully established garden extends to over160' in length and really is something to behold. There is a large patio, providing an ideal entertaining area for alfresco dining, that leads onto a formal lawn, which in turn leads through to a 'secret garden' featuring a large garden room that would be ideal as a gym or 'teenagers den'. There is also a fantastic roof terrace that enjoys panoramic views over Richmond Hill and the surrounding area. To the front of the house there is secure off street parking.

Location

The house occupies an enviable position within just a few hundred meters of historic Richmond Bridge (Greater London's oldest surviving Thames crossing over a particularly scenic stretch of The River Thames). Just over the bridge Richmond town provides a wide and sophisticated array of shops, boutiques and restaurants, whilst managing to retain a charming village atmosphere. Richmond train station provides a rapid and direct service into London Waterloo, as well as the District Line tube and overland to Stratford, via north London. Local schools enjoy an excellent reputation and are considered amongst the best in the country. Access onto the A316 can be found within approximately one mile at the delightful village that is St. Margarets. The A316 in turn adjoins the M3 at Sunbury, or central London in the other direction. St.Margarets also boasts the beautiful open acres of Marble Hill Park, that abut the River Thames and incorporate tennis courts and historic Marble Hill House. Couple this with the 2300 deer inhabited acres of Richmond Park and the stunning riverside walks nearby and you really are spoilt for choice.
