This impressive detached period residence boasts expansive private gardens and notable ceiling heights, with direct access to sought-after communal parklands abutting the picturesque 'lake grounds'. Located on one of the neighborhood's most favored streets, this double-fronted property is now poised for a transformative renovation after being held by the same owner for many years. It presents an excellent chance to design a bespoke family home.
On the ground floor, the layout is ideal for both social gatherings and daily living. A spacious reception room runs from front to back, showcasing numerous original elements. The front reception area, previously utilized as an elegant study, complements a separate dining space leading into the kitchen and breakfast area, alongside an additional utility room. There is potential to enhance the rear of the house significantly, perhaps opting to replace the existing conservatory and create an open-plan living space (subject to planning).
The first floor features three bedrooms including a principal suite that was reconfigured from two rooms. The remaining double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. The top floor accommodates two more bedrooms along with another W.C., while both basement and loft spaces presently used for storage hold opportunity for further expansion (subject to planning).
The rear garden offers substantial privacy and is mostly laid to lawn with mature plantings; it includes a shed and provides direct access to the Lake Grounds. At the front, there’s convenient off-street parking available on the driveway.
Given that this property is part of a probate sale, prospective buyers should conduct thorough inquiries and seek independent professional advice regarding its status.
Situated in the highly regarded Ailsa Road, characterized by its tranquil leafy environment, residents benefit from proximity to St Margarets village featuring various bars, restaurants, and coffee shops along with mainline transport links into London Waterloo. Richmond town center is also easily accessible, with nearby attractions including Old Deer Park and Kew Gardens—both offering unique recreational opportunities within a UNESCO World Heritage site.
