Description
Set at the very summit of Richmond Hill in the celebrated and iconic Grade II listed Star & Garter, this remarkable duplex apartment commands far-reaching south-west views over Petersham Meadows and The River Thames. On entering the apartment there is a spacious entrance hall which leads to the voluminous and light-filled living areas. Double-height ceilings and tall sash windows illuminate the open-plan reception and kitchen/breakfast room, designed for both entertaining and relaxing with family and friends. Four double bedrooms follow, each with an ensuite bathroom, including the principal suite with dressing area and a luxurious bathroom and fine view. Everyday living is enhanced by comfort cooling, underfloor heating and a smart-home system controlling lighting, sound and climate. The apartment further benefits from a secure underground parking space for two cars. Residents also have access to the Star & Garter’s private leisure suite, which is divided into distinct zones: a 16 × 5 metre resistance-jet pool and Jacuzzi, a well-equipped gym and a sun room with heated loungers. For quieter moments, there are two private treatment rooms and a sumptuous screening room for film nights or major sporting events. Landscaped gardens dating from the building’s opening complete the picture. A residents’ town-car service and full 24 hours concierge add to the convenience and security. On the doorstep lies Richmond Park, with its 2,300 deer-inhabited acres, while Richmond’s renowned theatre, shops and restaurants are less than half a mile away. Richmond station offers direct trains to London Waterloo, plus District line and Overground services. Closer still, the shops of Friars Stile Road create a lovely village feel, and the beautiful Terrace Gardens provide panoramic views of the Thames.
