Lion Gate Gardens, Richmond, Surrey

Having been renovated and extended with a real depth of quality and thoughtfulness this architecturally distinguished late Victorian family home is tastefully presented and beautifully appointed throughout. It has fabulous room proportions, that are further emphasised by the impressive ceiling heights. Of particular note are the spectacular kitchen/dining/family room - a wonderful open plan space that is flooded with natural light and ’brings the garden into the house’ - and the principal bedroom suite which runs across the full width of the house and features a fantastic Helo steam room.

To the front of the house there is ample off street parking for several cars and to the rear there is a delightful, generously proportioned garden that is well established and predominantly laid to lawn. There is a large patio area to the front of the garden, providing an ideal space for alfresco entertaining, whilst to the rear there is an astroturf play area with football goals, tennis and climbing walls. Both front and back gardens have irrigation systems.

Other features of note include a Hacker kitchen with extra wide oak flooring and underfloor heating, high end appliances, a climate controlled wine cellar, a 50 inch by 90 inch in-ceiling cinema screen with ultra thin Bezel ceiling speakers to the front living room, four zone heating and water (each floor can be controlled separately), two laundry chutes, electric underfloor heating and majestic glass to all the bathrooms, Poliform wardrobes to all bedrooms and CAT 6 cabling to all the reception areas and bedrooms.

Of further note and if desired by the purchaser, as part of the meticulous renovation works on the house, the owners also had planning permission approved for further alterations, including excavation to provide enlarged basement in excess of 70sq metres and installation of rooflights to front and rear roof slope to create two mezzanine areas in the current loft space if desired.
