The Alberts, Richmond, TW10 6DW

This thoughtfully refurbished cottage features two double bedrooms, an upstairs bathroom and the benefit of historic planning permission for a loft conversion. On entering the property, a Crittall-style glass divide creates a natural separation between the entrance and dining area. From here, the ground floor opens into a generous reception area before leading through to a light-filled kitchen, with quartz work surfaces, a traditional butler sink and Rangemaster cooker. Beyond the kitchen is a snug area, with bi-fold doors opening directly onto the patio and bespoke built-in seating. Upstairs, the main bedroom comfortably accommodates a king-size bed and offers plenty of storage space. The second bedroom is a comfortable double, currently used as a study, offering flexibility as a bedroom or home office. The contemporary bathroom includes a bath with overhead shower and Crittall-style shower screen. Attention to detail is evident throughout, with double-glazed sash windows, plantation shutters, contemporary radiators and oak flooring across the ground floor. Traditional features sit comfortably alongside contemporary finishes, creating a distinctive and characterful home.  EPC: D /Potential B Council Tax: E
