The Grove at Richmond

A detached villa on a private lane between the green and the river, set back from the road behind a stand of mature limes. The house is symmetrical and unhurried, in painted brick, with the long sash windows the address is known for.

A central hall runs from the front of the house to the rear, where the principal sitting room and library look across the deep garden. The kitchen sits off the hall, opening onto a working garden room. Five bedrooms occupy the upper floor, with a quiet study tucked into the eaves above. A small annexe off the kitchen has been used at different times as a music room and a writing room.

The garden is unusually long for the address, walled on three sides and terminating at a small studio. Currently reserved; serious enquiries placed on the private register, with onward release on a discretionary basis.
