A distinguished Arts & Crafts residence dating to 1928, Prospect Cottage is set on a generous south-west facing plot along a peaceful private road in the coveted Coombe Estate, moments from Richmond Park's Ladderstile Gate. Having been thoughtfully extended and meticulously modernised by its current owners, the property now offers exceptional family accommodation that blends timeless architectural charm with contemporary comfort and style. Occupying approximately half an acre, the home sits within beautifully landscaped gardens, with multiple patios, a hot tub, and a mature selection of specimen trees and flowering shrubs—providing both seclusion and seasonal colour. Electric gates open onto a spacious driveway with parking for five to six vehicles, including a carport. Inside, the house offers a superb balance of elegant formal reception rooms and relaxed family spaces. The expansive kitchen/dining/family room forms the heart of the home, complete with a four-oven Aga, granite worktops, underfloor heating, Sonos-integrated ceiling speakers, and bespoke cabinetry.

Additional ground floor spaces include a formal music room, a study with vaulted ceiling and stained glass features, a cloakroom, a playroom/sensory room with integrated lighting and sound systems, and a large utility area with extensive storage. A self-contained annexe offers flexible accommodation with its own kitchen, ideal for guests, au pair, or extended family. Upstairs, the principal suite is truly exceptional, enjoying triple-aspect views over the gardens, twin dressing rooms, and a luxurious en-suite with jacuzzi bath and walk-in shower. There are three further bedrooms on this floor, including a guest bedroom with en-suite (part of the annexe), and a family bathroom.
