5 bed detached house for sale

Sudbrook Lane, Richmond TW10

Lying at the end of a quiet lane, with uninterrupted views across Richmond Golf Club towards the vast greenery of Richmond Park, this handsome 1920s house unfolds across an exceptional plot, surrounded by mature gardens and complete privacy.

Approached via a gated driveway, the house presents with confidence. Behind its traditional façade, the interiors have been carefully reworked to balance period character with a lighter sensibility.

At its centre, the kitchen, dining and living space is designed for everyday life. Made by Tom Howley, the kitchen is generous in scale, anchored by a central island and arranged to accommodate cooking and entertaining. Doors open directly onto the garden, drawing in greenery and light, and creating a connection between inside and out.

Elsewhere on the ground floor, a series of reception rooms offer flexibility. A formal sitting room opens onto the terrace, while additional spaces can shift easily between family room, study or media room.

Upstairs, five bedrooms are arranged across a single floor, an increasingly rare configuration that gives a strong sense of cohesion to the house. The principal bedroom sits peacefully within the plan, with views over the surrounding greenery, while the remaining bedrooms are well-proportioned and thoughtfully laid out. Two bathrooms serve the floor, finished in an understated palette.

To one side, a separate two-storey studio provides a distinct but connected space. Currently used as an artist’s studio, it has its own entrance and can function independently from the main house, making it equally suited to guest accommodation, a workspace or live-in staff.

The gardens are particularly special. Deep, established and carefully planted, they wrap around the house to create a series of outdoor rooms, from open lawn to more shaded, intimate corners. Mature trees provide a natural screen, while considered lighting extends their use into the evening. To the front, the driveway offers ample off-street parking.

Petersham sits between Richmond Park and the Thames, retaining a village-like feel despite its proximity to central London. Richmond itself is just over a mile away, with its blend of independent shops, restaurants and transport links, while the surrounding area is known for its excellent schools and access to open green space.
