An exquisite and meticulously renovated five bedroom Georgian townhouse in the heart of Richmond
Description
Hogarth House is an exquisite Grade II listed Georgian building that has been painstakingly restored to provide two stunning townhouses, Virginia & Leonard. Virginia forms the right hand side as you face Hogarth House and offers generously proportioned, naturally light accommodation over four floors.
The house lends itself equally well to both family life and more formal entertaining. Despite comprehensive refurbishment, period features have been preserved and further complemented by the superbly appointed bathrooms, tasteful decor and the beautiful hand crafted bespoke kitchen with Miele appliances. Other features of particular note include the wonderfully panelled principal rooms, the elegant staircase and charming rear garden - designed by the rhs Chelsea medal winner, Heather Appleton. The accommodation includes two reception rooms, an eat-in kitchen, utility room, four bedroom suites (with en suite bathrooms) and a separate bedroom/study and shower room.
Virginia & Leonard Woolf moved into Hogarth House in 1915. They met whilst members of the famous Bloomsbury Group, a select literary circle and subsequently married. Two years after they moved in, they purchased a hand press, thereby merging their home and a small-scale letterpress studio into 'The Hogarth Press'. Thus began the life of a publishing house which was to become world famous.
Location
The house is conveniently situated in the very heart of Richmond town centre - much acclaimed for its sophisticated yet charming shops, cafes and restaurants.
Richmond train station is within just a few hundred yards and provides a rapid overland service direct into London Waterloo, as well as the District Line tube and overland to Stratford - via north London.
