Crescent Road, Kingston upon Thames

First time to market in almost 100 years. A substantial residence with a large private garden and Richmond Park quite literally on the doorstep, offering an exceptional opportunity to create an outstanding family home.

Built in around 1904, Crescent Road has been in the same family ownership since 1926 and now presents an opportunity to completely transform a substantial period residence.

Extending to over 5,000 sq ft, the property offers considerable space and scope, with the original hallway and staircase providing a glimpse of the character within. The house was converted into five flats in the 1950s but remains on a single title and offers the potential to be brought back together as one impressive family home.

The large private garden provides further scope, with planning permission already in place for a substantial driveway and extensions to the rear of the property.

The house also has an interesting history. During the Second World War it was requisitioned by the Government and used by a searchlight unit as part of London's air raid protection, before later being used to accommodate injured Canadian soldiers returning from the D-Day campaign.

Richmond Park is approximately a four-minute walk away, while Norbiton station and Kingston town centre are also within easy reach.

A property with this combination of scale, garden, history and proximity to Richmond Park is rarely available and offers the opportunity to create a truly exceptional home.
