Characterful two-bedroom cottage with garden and extension potential, chain free.
Chain free two-double-bedroom Victorian cottage
A charming Alberts cottage on the lower slopes of Richmond Hill, this mid-terrace Victorian home offers two double bedrooms, a double reception and a private patio garden. Set along a pedestrianised row, the house is traffic-free at the front yet benefits from practical road/car access via the rear garden. Chain free and well placed for Richmond and Kew, it suits buyers who value location and character.
The property requires modernisation and some updating throughout, but the layout is sensible: a clearly defined sitting room and dining area with bespoke shelving flows into a galley kitchen and garden. Upstairs are two generous bedrooms; moving the bathroom upstairs and extending the kitchen to the side are both realistic possibilities, subject to the usual planning permissions.
At about 600 sq ft, the home is compact and will suit buyers comfortable with a smaller footprint. The house is of solid brick construction (likely no cavity insulation), has double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas central heating, and an EPC currently rated D with potential to reach B after improvements. Council Tax sits at Band E.
This is a strong pick for a first-time buyer or couple seeking a character cottage in a highly desirable, well-connected part of Richmond who are prepared to invest in renovation to unlock the property’s potential. The immediate area offers excellent schools, green space (Richmond Park, Kew Gardens), shops, pubs and reliable rail/tube links into central London.
