5 bed semi-detached house for sale

The Avenue, St Margarets, Twickenham TW1

A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire this elegant Victorian semi-detached residence, cherished by the same family for over sixty years. Offering over 2,500 sq ft of accommodation arranged across three principal floors, with the additional benefit of a large cellar, this handsome home presents superb potential for modernisation and extension (subject to planning).

Perfectly positioned just a few minutes’ walk from St Margarets Village and the River Thames, the property enjoys one of the area’s most sought-after addresses. Set well back from the road, it features a generous frontage with a single garage and ample space for multiple cars, or the option to reinstate a formal garden if preferred. To the rear, a wonderfully wide and mature garden provides a tranquil setting and enjoys the benefit of side access.

Inside, the house exudes charm and character, retaining a wealth of original Victorian features including ornate plaster ceilings, sash windows, feature fireplaces, and an elegant winding staircase with mahogany handrail. The rooms are notably well-proportioned, with high ceilings and large windows flooding the interiors with natural light. Of particular note are the adjoining drawing and dining rooms, together stretching over 32 feet, with aspects to both the front and rear gardens.

While the property would now benefit from updating, recent works have already been undertaken, including a full roof replacement, drainage improvements, new windows in parts, and refreshed décor. With imagination and vision, it could easily be transformed into a truly magnificent family home once again.

There is ample scope to extend to the rear, as neighbouring properties have successfully done, and to reconfigure the upper floor to create additional bedroom and bathroom space.

The Avenue remains one of St Margarets’ most prestigious and desirable addresses. The village centre and station, with regular services to London Waterloo, are just a short stroll away, as are the charming local shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs that give the area its distinctive, cosmopolitan character. The River Thames is only moments away, offering beautiful riverside walks across Richmond Lock towards Old Deer Park, Richmond town centre and Old Isleworth. For motorists, the A316 provides convenient access to Central London and the M3/M25.
