Strafford Road, Twickenham, TW1 3AE

SOLD STC. An exquisitely renovated Victorian home of the utmost period charm and integrity.

Description Buckingham House is an architecturally delightful double fronted, detached, Victorian family home that occupies a generous corner plot.

The accommodation is beautifully balanced and well configured, providing superbly for both everyday family life and more formal entertaining.

The elegant room proportions are further emphasised by the wonderful ceiling heights and an excellent flow of natural light - that is afforded by the open aspects and large sash hung windows.

As you enter the house you are greeted by a gracious reception hallway, with a magnificent staircase, that provides the most welcoming entrance.

The house has been exquisitely renovated with a real depth of quality and thoughtfulness.

The tasteful interior decoration, by Soane Britain, creates a magical atmosphere and beautifully compliments the fabulous period integrity of the house.

Also of particular note are the wonderful principal bedroom suite (occupying the entire rear of the first floor and featuring its own terrace and dressing room), superbly appointed bathrooms and the stunning, traditional yet timeless, kitchen by deVol, which features gorgeous marble worktops, Gaggenau appliances and a Sub-Zero fridge freezer.

The kitchen in turn opens onto both the living room, with its incredible Swedish gas stove (that was built on site) and the striking Orangery - by Vale Garden Houses.

All of these three rooms enjoy underfloor heating. There are also a number of charming fireplaces that all have gas fires, with the exception of the one in the study, which is wood fired.

There is a well proportioned and delightfully established southerly garden, that was created by Butter Wakefield and affords excellent privacy.

Whilst it is predominantly laid to lawn there is also a large York stone paved patio area that is ideal for alfresco entertaining. Both front and rear gardens have full irrigation systems.

Other features of note include air conditioning to the top floor, a new slate roof (as of December 2020), secure bike storage for up to 5 bikes and an electric car charging point to the front garden.

Location Buckingham House occupies a prominent corner position within this highly regarded road, just a few hundred metres from the excellent shopping facilities of Twickenham and the charming village of St Margarets.

Twickenham train station provides a rapid and direct service into London Waterloo whilst St Margarets boasts the stunning open acres of Marble Hill Park, which in turn adjoin a particularly scenic stretch of the River Thames and provide an ideal retreat from the hubbub of daily life.

Whilst slightly further afield but within just 1.5 miles the sophisticated shops, boutiques and restaurants of Richmond are fabulous and internationally renowned.

The A316 is within approximately half a mile and adjoins the M3 at Sunbury, providing easy access to the south west or central London in the other direction.

The M3 in turn adjoins the M25 orbital motorway and thereby offers convenient access to Gatwick and Heathrow international airports.

Local schools enjoy an enviable reputation and are considered amongst the best in the country. Square Footage: 3,599 sq ft
