This Victorian semi-detached house in KT1 combines period character with practical family space. High ceilings, bay windows and original fireplaces give the principal reception rooms strong charm while a separate dining room opens via French doors to a mature 79-foot garden and paved terrace — ideal for children and outdoor entertaining. The property includes a versatile garden office/studio with electricity and its own bathroom, useful as a home office, studio or guest suite.
On the first floor are two generous bedrooms with sash windows and fireplaces, plus a third bedroom and a modern family bathroom. The ground floor layout features a bright bay-fronted living room, a well-proportioned kitchen with side access, and a convenient ground-floor WC. Total size is about 1,166 sq ft across multiple storeys, with a small plot but an unusually long rear garden for the area.
Important practical points: the house dates from c.1900–1929 and walls are solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, so upgrading insulation and energy efficiency may be required. Flooding risk is medium and local crime levels are very high, which should be considered when assessing security measures and insurance costs. Council tax is above average for the borough. Parking information is not specified.
Situated a short walk from Kingston town centre, riverside walks and excellent schools including Kingston Grammar and Tiffin School, this is a convenient family home for those who want period detail and flexible living space close to transport links to central London. The property is freehold and offers clear potential to improve energy performance and personalise interiors for long-term comfort and value.
