L'hermitage, Richmond

This tastefully renovated family home is a wonderful example of early Victorian architecture, with its stunning facade of mellow stock brick relieved by large sash hung windows with gorgeous corbelled hood moulds above. Whilst it has a contemporary edge inside our clients have been very careful to complement the period integrity of the house. Notable features include box window shutters, beautiful ceiling cornicing, picture rails, lovely fireplaces, wide exposed floorboards and a most elegant staircase. The home has an wonderful flow of natural light and the generous room proportions are further emphasised by the excellent high ceilings. As well as renovating the house, with a real depth of quality and thought, our clients have also seamlessly added a mansard roof extension that now houses the fabulous principal bedroom suite. The creatively designed south west facing walled garden is beautiful and provides a calm and inviting space for unwinding and alfresco entertaining.
