Property description

Gascoigne-Pees are proud to offer to market this quality detached family home situated in one of North Kingston’s most desirable locations and with the benefit of no onward chain. Northweald Lane forms part of the Royal Park Gate development built in the late 1990’s on the site of the historic Hawker Siddeley aerodrome and factory (later to become part of British Aerospace). Kingston Train Station (Waterloo 33 mins.) is approx. 1.5 miles and 6 minutes on the 65 bus to the south whilst Richmond Train (Waterloo 19 mins. Fast train) and Tube Station (District Line) is 2.5 miles and 13 minutes on the 65 bus to the north. Local schools are some of the best in the country and include Tiffin Girls School and the Fern Hill Primary School. Recreationally, one is blessed with having the River Thames just 2 minutes walk from this property along with Richmond Park within just one mile. Also, within a 2 minutes walk is the YMCA which offers a top quality gym and also offers boxing, tennis and yoga etc. Of the property itself, the current owners had the loft converted in January of this year. It has been cleverly done in such a way that allows for the large self-contained studio flat to be reconfigured to provide two separate bedrooms each with their own en-suite facilities. The first floor has a master bedroom with full en-suite bathroom, whilst there are then three further bedrooms and a family bathroom with built in wardrobes in three of the four bedrooms. The ground floor has been expertly extended to provide an elegant and comfortable open-plan space that is really in-tune with modern family living providing a contemporary kitchen, dining and living space. The high quality fitted kitchen provides for plenty of work and storage space as would befit even the keenest amateur cook. Accessed through double doors, there a also second separate reception room that can either be a part of the whole or act a retreat from it all. Additionally, there is also a good size utility room which comprises a full laundry service and a useful stainless steel sink. Every room in the house has been refurbished or redecorated within the past three years and all to the highest standards. This includes a ‘Worcester Bosch’ boiler and ‘Megaflow’ hot water system which will ensure ample hot water for the three or the potentially four bathrooms. Other highlights in no particular order include real oak wood floors, surround sound wiring in living area, a quality flueless open gas fire and deck lighting outside for those long summers nights when you throw the bi-fold doors open and take the party outside. The current owners say this about the area and the house… “We have loved living in the area and being only a few minutes from Richmond Park and a few seconds from the river is idyllic. I have often taken kayaks down to the Thames and enjoyed kayaking up to Hampton and down to Richmond. The playground (moments away) is great for youngsters and the Thames path connecting Kingston and Richmond allows for peace of mind with the kids cycling away from the roads. Our kids have grown up here and only really know this as their home so we are sad to leave but hope the next owners create their own memories and enjoy living there as much”. Finally , with regards to the neighbours the owner said “we socialise with our neighbours regularly – there are families, single people, couples – something for everyone”!
