Chain-free Victorian detached home, 200m from Canbury Gardens and the Thames.
Five double bedrooms across three floors
A substantial five-double-bedroom Victorian detached house, offered chain-free and set just 200 metres from Canbury Gardens and the River Thames. The property extends to around 1,800 sq ft across three floors and includes three reception rooms, a generous open-plan kitchen/dining area with roof lights and double doors, plus a detached garden studio — excellent for home working or creative use.
The accommodation blends period character (bay window, high ceilings) with contemporary touches in the kitchen/living area. The principal bedroom and two further doubles occupy the first floor, with two more doubles and a shower room on the second floor. There are bathrooms on the first and second floors; note there are two bathrooms for five bedrooms which may be a consideration for larger families.
Outside, the landscaped private rear garden provides a tranquil setting with patio, decking and a separate studio. The plot is described as small for the area, so outside space is attractive but compact. Practical points: the house is solid brick, built before 1900, with double glazing of unknown installation date and assumed lack of wall insulation; some upgrading or energy-efficiency work may be needed.
Location is a key strength — excellent transport, fast broadband and mobile signal, close to Kingston town centre, Richmond Park and well-regarded local schools. Downsides to note: council tax is above average for the area and local crime levels are reported as above average. Overall this is a family-sized period home with immediate riverside access and clear potential for modernisation.
