House For Sale £1,050,000
This elegant four-bedroom townhouse with its clean lines and expansive glazing stands as a beautiful example of mid-century minimalism amid the Victorian villas of St Margaret’s in Twickenham. Unfolding over three spacious storeys, the house is characterised by its flowing living rooms and wide views of the surrounding greenery. The shops and cafes of St Margaret’s Road are a short walk away, along with the Thames Path and Richmond.
The Tour
Normanhurst Drive is a quiet terrace of 14 archetypal mid-century townhouses. The house’s wide façade is bound by two thin lines of brickwork framing the stucco and hanging tile frontage – expansive windows hint at the bright living spaces within. The entrance sits recessed under a narrow overhang beyond the front lawn.
Entry is a generously proportioned hallway. From here, it is possible to see straight through the ground floor plan to the garden at the rear. The kitchen is a welcoming space with leafy views of the garden and excellent quality of light, care of French doors and a large picture window. Fresh white wooden cabinetry wraps around the corner of the kitchen, topped with sleek worktops and a tiled splashback. This large room has plenty of space for a dining table and chairs. Engineered oak floors run throughout the ground floor.
Also on the ground floor is a shower and utility room finished in pale blue tiles and the fourth bedroom with plenty of built-in storage. A striking open-tread staircase rises through the house, and light is drawn into the centre of the plan through an internal window on the first floor. The main living space spans the full width of the house with wide picture windows at tree-canopy level framing leafy views.
A pocket door pulls back to reveal a large double bedroom at the rear of the plan. It looks out to the garden and is currently used as both a bedroom and office.
There are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom on the third floor. The main bedroom sits at the back of the plan and is a wide room, accentuated by the large windows and deep sill that run its full width. On the opposite wall, a bank of oak-veneered built-in wardrobes adds plenty of storage. The final bedroom sits at the front of the plan and is a good-sized double with more built-in storage.
The bright bathroom is finished in simple white tiles and a cork floor; lime-coloured blinds add a pop of colour. The house has solar panels, off-street parkinh and an electric vehicle charging point at the side of the driveway.
Outdoor Space
The house has a secluded back garden with a deck and lawn. A pair of wide french doors opens from the kitchen to the outdoor space, with plenty of room for a dining table and chairs. The lawn is bordered by ivy and roses, creating a wonderful green outlook from the living space within.
The Area
St Margaret’s is a beautiful neighbourhood between Richmond and Twickenham with its own distinctive village feel. The high street, bordered by independent shops and cafes, leads down towards leafy Marble Hill Park on the banks of the Thames.
Normanhurst Drive is a short walk from the bustling high street and Crown Road, where local favourite haunts include Wylie's Coffee, Harris + Hoole, Le Salon Privé, The Secret Wardrobe, St Margaret’s Wines, and Armstrong’s butchers.
Marble Hill is an English Heritage house and parkland on the banks of the river. The Georgian villa is now a museum, and the parkland is home to two cafes and the striking octagonal Orleans House Gallery.
Richmond High Street with its wide variety of independent shops and eateries. Is a short walk across Richmond Lock bridge.
St Margaret’s station is a 10-minute walk from the house and runs mainline services into London Waterloo in 30 minutes. Twickenham and Richmond Stations offer fast trains into Central London and the London Underground (District Line) and London Overground are also accessible at Richmond Station.
