House For Sale £2,650,000
A truly rare opportunity to purchase Langham Cottage, an iconic and unique property, located in the highly sought after, idyllic and peaceful setting of Old Twickenham Riverside.
This charming and beautifully presented Grade ll listed Georgian property, built early in the 18th century, sits in a coveted location occupying a large corner plot, adjacent to the River Thames, with its original walled garden and offering a separate garage and off street parking.
Langham Cottage is a fine example of an exquisite, detached, double fronted Georgian cottage, presenting in effect a riverside country retreat, yet only half an hour from Waterloo Station.
The house is approached from Sion Row, through an entrance gate into a secluded walled front garden. A York stone path leads to the patios and front door, with ornate wooden architrave and triangular pediment above, opening to the entrance hall and thus leading to the beautifully configured living space and accommodation.
Extensive restoration works, designed by leading Georgian architect Donald Insall Associates, were undertaken in 2015/16 by the current owners and have further enhanced the charm of this beautiful house. Many period features were left in place, while the house has been brought most sympathetically into the 21st Century, as a comfortable and secluded home.
This extraordinary property in brief comprises; on the ground floor: entrance porch, two reception rooms, study, kitchen by de Vol, larder, a wine cellar, utility area, downstairs WC and boot hallway; on the first and second floors: four bedrooms, two bathrooms, all finished to a very high standard.
The property further benefits from an enchanting, meticulously landscaped and lovingly maintained south facing garden, providing privacy and tranquillity. It is planted with a copious selection of plants and trees, including a protected magnolia, fig, banana and cherry trees, a vine and many others, all serviced by a built-in watering system.
Uniquely positioned looking over the river, Langham Cottage backs onto the stunning York House Gardens, with local tennis and Twickenham Yacht Club within a stone’s throw of the property.
Langham Cottage is within minutes of the open spaces of Marble Hill House and Park, Orleans House Gallery and Gardens and lies just across the river from Ham House via Hammertons Ferry. The property sits within one of the rarest and most coveted of locations in South West London – perfect for walks in the historic Arcadian environs from Richmond Palace to Hampton Court. The splendour of Royal Richmond Park is half an hours walk away along the river, across historic Richmond Bridge, passing many independent coffee shops.
The house is within close proximity of Twickenham town centre, including Waterstones, Gails and a large Waitrose , whilst being within reach of many of the area’s superb retail attractions such as the pedestrianised Church Street, where you will find a varied collection of pubs, restaurants, cafes and artisan shops. Local transport links include: numerous bus routes to surrounding areas, plus frequent fast trains to Central London via South West Trains from Twickenham station (Waterloo 20 minutes) which is within easy walking distance from Langham Cottage.
Numerous buses at the end of Sion Road run to Richmond station overground (Waterloo 16 minutes) and London Underground’s District Line. The property is well placed for access to the A316/M3, M4 and M25 motorways and Heathrow Airport, which can be reached easily by road, train or bus. Schools in the area include Orleans Park School, King’s House School, The Vineyard School, Hampton, Kingston Grammar and Tiffin.
Other local places of interest within easy reach include Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, Strawberry Hill House, Sion House, Popes Grotto, Turners House and Twickenham Stadium.
As the vendors sole agents we highly recommend an early viewing so as not to miss out on this rarely available and absolutely stunning property.
