Detached house for sale in St Georges Road, Twickenham TW1

This original Arts and Craft property, built in the late nineteenth century, is believed to be the first house constructed on the road, and it certainly befits that status. There is expansive and elegant accommodation laid out over the ground floor, offering an array of formal and more open plan reception areas. Over the top two floors, there are six bedrooms complimented by three bathrooms.

On arriving at this handsome detached residence, you are instantly impressed not only by its period look, but by the sense of space to the front and to the sides. Walking on the carriage driveway towards the front entrance, you already know you are about to view a special house.

On entering the property which was fully restored and developed by the current owners in 2008/9 you are blessed with a marvellous entrance hall, very few private houses in the area have this sort of grand entrance. A library falls to the left and a snug/TV room falls to the right. Walking towards the rear of the house, you enter a wonderful open plan space that can be made more private with floor to ceiling doors, separating the kitchen and reception room. A fully fitted kitchen with a range of fitted appliances leads through to a light and extended conservatory, currently used as a dining area, which is a truly superb area to entertain friends and family with views of the garden.

The formal reception room with high ceilings, feature fireplace and oak floors leads through to another extended conservatory which creates an additional room to relax and enjoy the beautiful natural light that runs throughout this floor.

To complete the ground floor accommodation, there is a utility room, WC, cellar and garage.

Moving to the first floor, there are five equally impressive rooms, all positioned around an elegant landing and provide spacious double bedrooms which are light and well-appointed. There are two family bathrooms that compliment these rooms.

Moving to the top floor is a luxurious principal bedroom suite which encompasses a sumptuous bedroom area, a stylish dressing room with an array of fitted wardrobes space and a bathroom. The striking feature of this room is the wonderful 'green' views towards the seven acres of communal gardens to the rear.

The south and west-facing gardens are a very special feature. They have been incredibly well-maintained and fully landscaped by the current owners to provide an array of mature trees, plants and shrubs, which afford a great degree of privacy. There is also a fruit orchard and vegetable plot, both which provide an organic supply of fruit and vegetables. Finally there is a hidden 'hot tub' positioned in the rear of the garden.

The carriage driveway to the front provides private off street parking for up to five cars.

At the rear of the garden you have direct access to the communal gardens, called the Lake Grounds, which provide a further seven acres of beautifully maintained gardens. There is also access to two further grounds that, as a resident, you have access to as well. All grounds are strictly for use by residents of the properties only.
