Set within an elegant 1930s mansion block, this ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers generous living space and direct access to beautifully landscaped communal riverside gardens. The layout includes a large reception room with high ceilings and period detailing, an adjoining dining area and a well-proportioned second reception room, creating flexible space for family life or home working. The block is gated, benefits from a resident porter, and includes off-street parking and a very long lease, all offered chain free.
The communal gardens open onto a scenic stretch of the River Thames via a secure gate, giving rare waterside access in central Richmond and placing Richmond Green and the town centre shops within a short walk. Transport links are strong: Richmond station (mainline and District Line) is approximately half a mile away providing direct services into central London. Local schools range from excellent state primaries to independent options, making this a practical location for families.
Buyers should note material running costs and some physical characteristics: the service charge is high and council tax is described as expensive. Heating is provided via a community mains gas scheme; the building is of solid brick construction (original, assumed uninsulated walls) and the property has a single bathroom. Crime levels for the immediate area are reported as very high, which some purchasers will want to investigate further. Overall, this is a characterful, spacious riverside apartment with strong local amenities and clear running-cost considerations.
