A handsome Victorian detached house on a highly sought Kew street, moments from the Lion Gate entrance to the Royal Botanic Gardens. The house delivers generous family accommodation across three floors with high ceilings, large sash bays and original period detail — fireplaces, ornate cornices and panelled doors — that give the rooms classic proportions and abundant natural light.
Arranged currently as three principal bedrooms with scope to reconfigure into four or five bedrooms, the layout suits growing families who value both formal reception space and flexible living. A substantial south-facing rear garden (about 80' x 35') provides private outdoor space and an attractive open aspect, while off-street parking adds everyday convenience. The property extends to approximately 2,500 sqft on a large plot and is offered freehold.
The house has been well maintained but buyers should note a few practical considerations: the walls are original solid brick (likely without modern cavity insulation), the double glazing install date is unknown, and council tax is described as quite expensive. There is clear potential to extend or reconfigure subject to the usual consents (STC) if more space or modernisation is required.
Located within easy walking distance of Richmond town centre and Kew Gardens station, with good local schools and amenities nearby, this property will suit families seeking a character home in a very affluent, well-connected neighbourhood with long-term upside for sensitive updating or extension.
