Off-street parking adds practical convenience in this well-connected residential area.
Built in the 1930s and retaining period bay-window character, the home is ready for modernization and extension subject to planning permission.

Local amenities include excellent schools, sports clubs and parks such as Richmond Park and Barn Elms, supporting an active family lifestyle.
Buyers should be aware of a few practical considerations: the property is system-built with assumed no wall insulation, and the heating specification includes a mix of mains gas boiler, room heaters and smokeless fuel. Double glazing is present but the installation date is unknown. These factors mean sensible upgrade work and insulation improvements will likely be needed to maximise comfort and energy performance.
Overall this freehold home suits families seeking a bright, well-sited house to modernise and personalise. With strong local schooling, low flood risk, fast broadband and good transport links, the property is a practical long-term family purchase with clear extension potential and scope to add value.
