A beautifully preserved Georgian cottage on Petersham Road that balances period charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. The house offers three bedrooms (two generous doubles), oak parquet floors, exposed timber beams and acoustic Georgian-style double glazing with café shutters — a comfortable, characterful home for a family or professionals who value atmosphere and proximity to green spaces.
Storage is a strong feature: a separate cellar plus two lofts and bespoke built-ins mean space for bikes, seasonal items and everyday clutter. The standout outdoor asset is the private allotment-style garden (approx. 50ft x 25ft) located across a quiet lane, with granite cobbles, fencing and a powered, insulated outbuilding currently used as a home office — ideal for remote working or entertaining.
Practical fittings are high quality: a handmade kitchen fitted with Neff and Miele appliances, and a large CP Hart bathroom with a sunken bath and rainforest shower. The property is freehold, close to Ham House, riverside walks, good schools and reliable transport links, making it well placed for family life and professionals seeking a quieter pocket of Richmond.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. The house is timber-framed and records indicate no built-in insulation (assumed), so buyers may want to budget for thermal improvements. There is one main bathroom and parking is on-street only. Council tax is described as expensive. Overall, the cottage offers rare historic character and substantial garden space but will need routine maintenance and selective upgrading to optimise comfort and running costs.
