This Victorian end-of-terrace cottage occupies a rare riverside position directly adjoining the Thames tow path, with outstanding outlooks over the river and Westerly Ware common grounds. The house is offered as a freehold with approximately 1,658 sq.ft. of floor space, including a large loft room, two reception rooms and two bathrooms — a generous footprint for central Kew.
The property retains period proportions and abundant natural light but requires comprehensive modernisation: cosmetic updating throughout, likely roof repairs, and assumed solid-brick walls with no built-in insulation. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; glazing is double but install date is unknown. Council tax is described as expensive and the plot is modest in size, so buyers should factor ongoing running costs and limited private outdoor space into their plans.
Position and potential are the core strengths: direct access to riverside walks, immediate proximity to Kew Gardens and Kew Bridge stations, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. The house will suit a family seeking character and space who are prepared to refurbish to modern standards, or an investor/handyperson aiming to add value through reconfiguration and upgrading (STPC). Flooding risk is very low and the local area is very affluent with good schools nearby.
Practical considerations are straightforward and should be surveyed: roof condition needs attention, internal modernisation is required, and thermal performance may be poor due to solid brick construction. For buyers prioritising river views and location over a turn-key finish, this is a rare opportunity to create a substantial riverside home in Kew.
