Property Description

Nestled between the River Thames and Richmond Green a Share of Freehold bright and spacious (circa 1900 sq ft) three double bedroom, three bath/shower room second floor apartment with allocated parking and large south west facing balcony. Richmond Green is one of the only remaining landscapes of London’s medieval past. The Green was laid out as it is today by King Henry Vlll who built properties around the green to house nobility and ambassadors visiting him at his river-front residence of Richmond Palace, whose gatehouse still occupies the South-West flank of the square.
From even earlier, this spot has been a continuous recreation ground. Henry’s father King Henry Vll used the area for jousting tournaments and it continued to be used for this purpose through the middle ages. Modern day recreation on the green takes the form of lazing with a book, watching the bi-weekly cricket matches and strolling to evening performances at the celebrated Richmond Theatre on the Eastern edge of the adjoining ‘Little Green’ or strolling the 250 yards down the pretty Old Palace Lane to the River and Thames path. Richmond Green is almost unique in London in its charm, history and beauty, described in the seminal ‘The Buildings of England’ as “one of the most beautiful urban greens surviving anywhere in England.”

Richmond offers fast mainline links into London Waterloo (17 minutes) and underground links into London Victoria (25 minutes). The local primary schools, Kings House, The Old Vicarage, The Vineyard and St Elizabeth’s Roman Catholic School, are amongst the finest in the country. Current EPC rating B potential EPC rating B
