The Avenue, ...

A substantial detached family home with a pleasing symmetrical Neo-Georgian facade. Located on the highly regarded St Margarets Trust Grounds, with access to fourteen acres of beautiful parkland.
This deceptively large property has been sympathetically extended by the current owners and now provides 2,485 square foot of accommodation over three floors.
A new level has been added to provide two additional bedrooms and a further shower room. Of particular note however, is the extremely spacious ground floor. This is now over 50% larger and provides a formal reception room with feature fireplace, a separate reception / dining room which extends the full width of the property and has wonderful views over the rear garden, a study / 7th bedroom, cloakroom, kitchen and separate utility room.
To the front of the property is a 40' garden with well stocked herbaceous borders, a lawn and central stone pathway. There are secure entrance gates and access to an area of hardstanding, providing off-street parking for one or two cars.
To the rear of the house is a walled garden, which has been professionally landscaped and provides a patio area, further lawned area with sunken pond, numerous shrubs and a wooden pergola with trailing plants. A rear gate provides direct access to The Avenue Grounds.
The St Margarets Trusts Grounds provide a unique oasis to the West of Richmond, in the village of St Margarets. The area was created in the late 19th Century as one of the first garden suburbs in the greater london area, with exclusive use of 14 acres of landscaped parkland, known collectively as the Pleasure Gardens.
These are divided into three areas; The Lake Grounds, The Avenue Grounds and The River Grounds, but each resident is provided with a key, enabling access to all. The Lake Grounds is the largest at 7 acres and, as the name suggests, has a wonderful lake crossed by two bridges. Each of the gardens feature a grass tennis court and the social activities that take place each year are numerous. A children's sports day, a bonfire night and barn dance, to name a few
