5 bed detached house for sale

Heathcote Road, Twickenham TW1

A generously proportioned Edwardian family home with a delightful garden

Description
Built just after the turn of the 20th Century this handsome double fronted home is a fine example of Edwardian architecture. Internally this period integrity is also wonderfully intact with a number of notable period features, including corniced ceilings, beautiful fireplaces, picture rails, sash and casement windows. The generous room proportions are further emphasised by the high ceilings and excellent flow of natural light.

The accommodation is well balanced and provides superbly for both everyday family life and more formal entertaining. Whilst our clients have lovingly nurtured the house over many decades there is definitely scope for any incoming purchasers to stamp their own identity and extend further to the rear, subject to the usual local authority planning consent and building regulation approval. To the top floor there is a large office/family room that would lend itself ideally to two further bedrooms and a further bathroom, if so required. To the rear of the house there is a delightful and well established garden that is predominantly laid to lawn, but with two patios and a wide selection of mature shrubs. Whilst to the front there is hardstanding off street parking and a garage that is currently used as a utility room and a very useful storage room.

Location
The house is enviably positioned within this attractive tree lined road, just a few hundred metres from St Margarets Village and train station (with its direct service into London Waterloo). The Village has a charming atmosphere, with a lovely selection of shops, boutiques and eateries. Whilst within just one mile Richmond has a wider selection of restaurants and shopping facilities, along with the District Line tube and two much acclaimed theatres. The stunning acres of Marble Hill Park and a particularly scenic stretch of The River Thames can also be found within a few hundred metres of the house, and provide an ideal retreat from the hubbub of daily life. Local schools enjoy an excellent reputation and are amongst the best in the country.
