This exceptional refurbishment of a large, late 19th century house in a Conservation Area in  Richmond was carried out by the architect Richard Dickinson. Dickinson’s decidedly Modern reworking of this beautiful Victorian villa (completed in 2011) has transformed it into a refined, spacious property that fills with natural light.

Accommodation includes four bedrooms, two reception rooms (one of which could potentially be used as a fifth bedroom), and a kitchen / dining room. Many of the rooms are dual aspect, affording them plenty of light. The lower ground area (which has a bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette, and a reception room) has separate access so could potentially be used as a self-contained apartment. To the front and rear of the house are landscaped gardens, also designed by Dickinson. Featuring black bamboo and some wonderful cherry and magnolia trees, the gardens are looked over by many of the principal rooms in the house. Other features of the interior include a Bulthaup kitchen, Scandinavian-style limed oak shutters and a wealth of original features including marble fireplaces, restored iron railings and a wonderful restored cast-iron vernandah.  There are engineered oak floors and Starck sanitary fittings throughout. The quality of the fittings and their installation throughout is particularly notable. Unusually for Richmond, the property also has its own garage.

Dickinson is an experienced and exacting architect who has worked on numerous award-winning buildings in London and throughout the UK during his career. He is also known for his outstanding refurbishment of the iconic 1960s Brumwell House in Cornwall, designed by Richard Rogers and Norman Foster with Su Brumwell and Wendy Cheeseman.

Mount Ararat Road is a sought-after residential road close to the centre of Richmond. It is within easy walking distance of the restaurants, shops and station at Richmond as well as Richmond Park and the schools for which the area is renowned. At the end of Mount Ararat Road is Friars Stile Road, noted for its butcher, baker and delicatessen. Richmond-upon-Thames is a historic borough of South West London that was formed in the 16th century. Recently listed as the best place to live in the capital in a government survey. According to the survey, this is thanks to its superb open spaces, excellent eateries, historic architecture and low crime rate.
