Set on a popular North Kingston street, this late‑Victorian detached house blends period character with a striking contemporary rear extension. The ground‑floor has been opened into a bright 26ft kitchen/dining space with skylights and full‑width bi‑fold doors, creating seamless indoor–outdoor living and strong entertaining potential. A front reception with bay window, utility room and downstairs cloakroom complete the sensible family layout.
Upstairs are three well‑proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. There is clear scope to add substantial loft accommodation (subject to planning), which could create extra bedrooms and an en‑suite or a large master suite — a valuable option for growing families. The landscaped rear garden includes a modern summer house suitable for a home office or gym.
Practical details that buyers should note: the house sits on a relatively small urban plot and provides one family bathroom only. The solid brick walls are likely uninsulated as built and, like many older homes, further improvements (insulation, energy upgrades) may be warranted. Council tax is high for the area. Overall, this property offers a ready‑to‑use contemporary family home with clear potential to increase space and value with loft works.
For families and professionals drawn to North Kingston, the location is a major asset: close to Richmond Park, the Thames, excellent primary and selective secondary schools, and direct rail into Waterloo. The combination of period frontage, modern extension and excellent local amenities makes this a compelling choice for buyers seeking a settled family home with expansion potential.
