A Green Escape, by Veeve

Nestled in the picturesque locale that is Kingston, on the edge of sprawling Richmond Park, sits this gorgeous five-bedroom home. Its setting in one of London’s most famous green areas provides ample inspiration for its best attributes: its expansive green garden, plentiful natural light, and its calm, soothing atmosphere.

Cross the threshold and enter the spacious and stylish living space. On one end, a formal living room is illuminated by the classic bay window, the sun casting light on a lovely forest green sofa, an array of armchairs and an alluring fireplace topped with an ornate mirror. Admire the tasteful art framed upon the walls, or make your way towards the more casual sitting room opposite. Here you’ll find a plush pink sofa facing a matching fireplace and a flatscreen TV – the perfect spot to wind down.

Make your way downstairs and behold the dazzling kitchen. Striking in both its clean modernity and its size, this black-and-white space gleams in the light from the bay windows. Fully equipped and boasting plenty of room to manoeuvre, budding chefs will be in paradise here. Adjacent, a big and beautiful dining table sits ready to host up to eight diners, promising a delicious degustation or a night of entertaining. Beyond, you’ll find another casual sitting area with a TV, flooded with sunlight from the nearby floor-to-ceiling windows and the skylight above. Pass through the glass door to get a dose of Mother Nature – lush grass, flowerbeds and a treehouse are in evidence here, as well as a barbecue and outdoor table.

Ascend the stairs and find the first bedroom: all in olive green, a single bed and a TV are both well-lit from the large window in here. The second bedroom is pretty in pink, with a king-sized bed, a fireplace and gorgeous art on the walls. Next comes the principal bedroom: centred on its luxuriant king-sized bed, this space is tasteful and subtle, featuring two large wardrobes, bedside tables and a fireplace. The en-suite bathroom is lavish, offering a spacious walk-in shower, a toilet and a wash basin.

On the next storey, you’ll find the primary bathroom – fully kit with a bath, walk-in shower, toilet and wash basin, it’s simultaneously expansive and sleek. Two more bedrooms are up here: the fourth bedroom features a double bed and is vibrant with colourful bunting and a charming feature wall, while the fifth bedroom offers two single beds, a desk and a certain affinity for giraffes.

WE LOVE
The unparalleled access to green spaces – whether it’s the sprawling private garden with its lush grass and quaint treehouse, or glorious Richmond Park a mere stone’s throw away.

Home Truths:
No smoking, pets or parties. A friendly dog usually lives here. Though the dog will not be present during your stay, and the home is cleaned to an extremely high standard, the property may not be suitable for those with allergies. Although we always endeavour for accuracy, there may be rare occasions where the listing photography and description do not provide an exact representation of the home’s amenities.
