For Sale7 Bedroom Detached House in St. Peters Road, Twickenham, TW1£5,000,000

This detached property measuring over 5,000 sq ft (approximately) and sits on a beautiful plot approaching 0.33 of an acre and overlooking communal gardens and The River Thames. This charming property was originally built in circa 1850 and has been owned by the current owners for close to 30 years. In that time they have significantly remodelled and refurbished key areas of the property to transform it into a splendid family home, which provides a number of spacious reception rooms and large well proportioned bedrooms. On arriving at this wonderful property you are instantly interested to see what lies behind its walled and gated boundary. Due to its low and lateral build it is almost hidden from the road and offers excellent privacy for those purchasers seeking that. Once inside you are greeted by a unique entrance hallway with a glass atrium, feature fireplace and an area to sit and relax. Three further reception rooms follow on this floor which provide a good balance between formal entertaining space and more relaxed open plan living. To complete this floor there is the principal suite with the bedroom area on the first floor above the dressing room and bathroom below. The lower ground floor is an expansive space and encompasses a magnificent family room which could be used for a number of activities such as a media room, gym, play room or further reception space. Five bedrooms and three bathrooms follow with two of them providing en suite bathrooms. To complete the accommodation there is a utility room, storage space, guest WC, garage and off street parking for a number of cars. A truly special feature of this extraordinary property is the magnificent gardens that have been carefully landscaped and planted by the current owners. There is a fine combination of mature trees, plants, flowers and shrubs as well as two areas of lawn. The wonderful terraces off the principal rooms offer additional entertaining areas in the warmer summer months and help create the perfect party house for larger gatherings. Beyond the garden is access onto the The Pleasure Gardens made up of three grounds (The River Grounds, The Lake Grounds and the Avenue Grounds) that total around 12 acres, for the exclusive use of its residents. All three grounds feature a seasonal tennis court and there is a fabulous social side to them with annual events such as a children's sports day, bonfire night, carol singing, and a jazz picnic.
