RE-AVAILABLE and for those seeking a project to add their own mark and to beautify something already quirky: an immensely characterful house with ample off-street parking, located in the heart of idyllic Petersham and once part of a former larger residence, of which historical roots comprise a school, a refuge for the school children of The Russell School during WWII and a church hall. The house retains much of its historical tenure with striking architectural features such as the bell tower and the arch double doors of its entrance. Positioned at a right angle and set back from Petersham Road, viewed from the street the house occupies the western-most side of this once historical residence. Inside however, the deceptively large laterally-arrange living accommodation extends to over 2700 sq. ft. (over 250 sq. m) and is arranged over just two floors. The ground floor is most impressive with four large reception rooms providing flexible living space and a sun room over-looking the wall-enclosed westerly garden. Of particular note is the vaulted ceiling dining room with exposed beams and bare walls, with garden access, and once the former school classroom. Upstairs, there is a large master bedroom suite with roof terrace access and a westerly aspect. In addition, there are three further bedrooms and a bathroom. To the front, the entire hard-standing is demised off-street parking for the house.
SituationThe house is superbly located in the heart of Petersham, a leafy village just south of Richmond and north of Kingston, lying in semi-rural idyll between Richmond Park and The River Thames. The sought-after amenities of Richmond are about one mile from the house, whilst close at hand are The Petersham Nurseries and The Dysart, both of which are held in gastronomic esteem. Richmond train station offers a prompt and direct service into London Waterloo, as well as the District line tube and overland to Stratford, via north London. Local schools boast an exceptional reputation and are considered amongst the best in the country.
