Gordon Avenue, St Margaret's

This much-loved family home has been well maintained over the years though there is scope to extend, reconfigure and generally improve throughout. We feel there is potential to widen the kitchen (whilst simultaneously creating a larger garden) and to add a second-floor principal bedroom suite, complete with shower and dressing room, or simply add another two bedrooms and bathroom, subject to local authority consents. This attractive Edwardian house is being sold for the first time in 55 years, with a large north-west facing garden capturing the best of the afternoon sun. The double garden is of particular note as the current owners purchased additional space (on freehold title) and is now large enough to comfortably accommodate a wonderful alfresco dining area, children's play area, and a substantial home office.

Clearly a 'Doer-Upper', and accessed via the pretty front garden, the house presents in a more than adequate, live-able state, with accommodation currently comprising large double reception room with most original features still in situ alongside an anchoring wood burning stove, a good sized eat in kitchen and a useful conservatory/storage space. Three double bedrooms, each with a full range of built in wardrobes, and family bathroom occupy the first floor and access into the loft room and adjoining shower room can be found off the landing.

Gordon Avenue is a pretty road of well-proportioned Edwardian houses, offering an especially welcoming community and perfectly situated to enjoy both St. Margaret's village and nearby Richmond, the latter so easily accessible by foot, car, or public transport.

From Richmond Bridge St. Margaret's is just a short amble down the St. Margaret's Road. This most endearing village has a strong sense of community and is served by a wonderful selection of independent shops and restaurants along Crown Road and around the mainline station. The river and glorious expanses of Marble Hill Park mark the easterly boundary, while on the other side of the A316 St. Margaret's stretches as far as Talbot Road. With Moormead Park (home to the annual St. Margaret's Fair), riverside walks into Richmond and its outstanding local schools and thriving independent amenities, 'St. Mags' really is every inch the urban village.
