Semi-detached house for sale in St. Georges Road, Twickenham TW1

An attractive Victorian semi detached house overlooking the Trust grounds.

Description
Wood Lake is a substantial Victorian house offering a rare opportunity to create a fabulous family home with stunning views over the much acclaimed Lake Grounds of the St Margarets Pleasure Gardens (also known as the Trust Grounds) and close to a particularly scenic stretch of The River Thames. The house is particularly well positioned and the panoramic rear aspect provides a real sense of being in the countryside in London.

The house is set behind a generous front garden with a deep driveway down to a double garage. Currently arranged as three flats, there is huge potential, subject to the necessary consents, to significantly expand the current footprint. Benefitting from many of the classical Victorian period features, the house has high ceilings to the raised ground floor, bay windows and attractive red brick soldier coursing. The mature rear garden is west facing and provides direct access to the Lake Grounds behind.

The Pleasure Gardens are made up of three grounds (The River Grounds, The Lake Grounds and the Avenue Grounds) that total around 12 acres, for the exclusive use of its residents. All three grounds feature a seasonal tennis tournament and there is a fabulous social side to them too with annual events such as a sports day, Spring fun day, barn dance, Halloween party, carols, Reggae Party and a sleep out and film night.

Location
The house occupies an enviable position within The St Margarets Pleasure Gardens - that provide such a wonderful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

With this semi rural backdrop it is difficult to believe that you are within approximately 10 miles of Hyde Park Corner and just a pleasant riverside stroll away (crossing over the water at Richmond Lock or Twickenham Bridge) from Richmond town, with its sophisticated yet charming selection of shops, boutiques and restaurants.

Richmond train station (approximately one mile) provides a rapid and direct service into London Waterloo, as well as the District line tube and Overground to Stratford, via North London.

Local schools, both state and private, enjoy an enviable reputation and are considered amongst the best in the country.
