Set on a generous corner plot beside the River Thames, this four-bedroom detached house delivers striking water views from the front rooms and bay windows. The property includes a large rear garden, driveway and substantial garage — rare for central Kingston — and is offered chain free, giving scope for swift completion.
The house requires modernising throughout but retains solid period character and double glazing installed since 2002. Upstairs are four bedrooms with two riverside aspects, a main bathroom and separate WC; the ground floor features a living room with a large bay, a dining room with sliding doors to the garden, and a kitchen with rear access and an additional bathroom.
Location is a principal asset: riverside walks on the doorstep, Kingston town centre within walking distance, and fast commuter links from Surbiton and Kingston stations to central London. High-quality local schools and abundant amenities suit family life, while the cosmopolitan, student-oriented neighbourhood brings energy and local services.
Practical considerations: the house needs renovation and updating, council tax is expensive, and local crime levels are high — factors to weigh against the property's size, riverside position and development potential, subject to planning permission.
