Welcome Home... Proudly positioned at the pinnacle of Richmond’s most prestigious address, could this be the home with the best view in Richmond? Commanding wraparound views from every facing window, framing what can only be described as a ‘breathtaking’ panorama, witnessing nature’s very own composition from your living room window.

Immeasurable Elegance An unparalleled display of ‘how to do’ a renovation, the current owners have lovingly guided this majestic family home into the 21st century over the last 5 years, without forgetting the originality of what once was, proudly showcasing the Victorian character and restoring the original features. Anyone who loves Richmond would be honoured to call this home. As you step through your tastefully painted grey front door, the beautifully decorated interior beckons, as you slip of your shoes feeling the solid wood flooring underfoot, excitement building as the inside unravels before you.

Where grandeur meets purpose Following into your family living room, the first thing you will notice is the stunning bespoke Yorkshire stone fireplace which frames the wood burning stove. The huge bay window is eye catching, and as you turn to give the view your full attention, you can only gaze in awe. Imagining time spent staring out at the permanently changing vista, the need for additional artwork is superfluous. Once you manage to steal yourself away from the views your attention is turned to your family kitchen. It would be difficult to describe a home that was more suited to entertaining and certainly one that could be more elegant. The stylishly painted grey cupboards are in harmony with the oak of the countertops and floor offering a perfect blend, a combination of style and functionality that is a masterclass for all renovators. As friends gather around the central island enjoying a glass of fizz, the air ringing with excited chatter, your guests will be sneaking envious looks around your home. The intellectual conversation filters through to the dining room and when it’s time to dine the large table means room for all. On clear nights the town below can be seen, illuminated with the soft warm glow that reminds you of the privileged position you find yourself in. Special doesn’t scratch the surface of this outstanding opulent home. No Victorian home would be complete without a laundry, and this is no exception. It is complete with guest cloakroom and a level of luxury rarely experienced. The children of the home will absolutely love the sense of fun as the ‘secret den’ under the stairs is just waiting to be discovered.

Relax and Indulge On ascending the elegant staircase you have to pause to admire the picture window, glancing at the magnificent Richmond Castle in the town below. The considerable expanse of landing continues the feeling of space and light felt throughout this home. Now can you picture your dream bedroom? Maybe with high ceilings, feeling light and airy, views that will never grow old? I can tell you this master bedroom has it all. When it comes to bed time it will be a race upstairs, with window seats having an arguably better view that comes with the extra height of being on the first floor. The seasons give a rotating show and in winter I am told you can watch the river all the way along, with the occasional bonus of snow turning it into a winter wonderland. With three further large double bedrooms, original features scattered throughout and a further room also benefitting from the same elevated town views, your family and friends will be spoilt for choice. The substantial bathroom brings the ultimate in delectation. Soaking in the claw foot bath at the end of a long week will make it all worthwhile. Morning showers can be taken in the ornate glass cubicle combining function with detail and luxury.

The Vista The piece de rÊsistance. As much as looking at the view from a window is a beautiful sight, it cannot compare to stepping out onto the stone terrace and you will be lost for words. Your barbecues will be a seasonal highlight and the only problem you’ll have is keeping the guest list manageable. Beyond the terrace is a further garden with a secure fence, perfect for a play house and children’s games and decking just waiting for that Yorkshire summer for a spot of private sunbathing. When you have children, you dream of giving them that perfect life, good schools, clean air and a home to be proud of. This house offers it all, exuding beauty from the inside out and that is just the start. Within walking distance of Ofsted rated Good and Outstanding schools from nursery age to 18. I challenge any family to find a more perfect home, one that is so rarely available to buy.

A quote from the seller “I was looking for a house with a driveway and a garage but as soon as I saw the views I knew I just had to buy this house. Despite needing total renovation, we immediately fell in love and we have felt privileged to have been able to own and live in a house such as this�

Explore and Discover Time to dust of your walking boots and get your coat on, a few step from your front door you take the public footpath down towards the river, exploring the centuries of rich history that one of the oldest recorded towns in England has to offer. You buy tickets for the Georgian theatre when you need an injection of culture and when it’s a new film release you have the absolute joy of experiencing viewing it in the arthouse cinema converted from a former station, it’s the perfect location for entertaining visitors. On special occasions you are spoilt for dinner options, ranging from French to Sicilian food and plenty in between, the stroll back up hill to home after a night on the tiles is rewarded with a nightcap on the terrace or a by the wood burning stove on chillier evenings. The commuter’s journey couldn’t be simpler with the A1 at Scotch Corner being within a 5 minute drive and the mainline station within 15 minutes in Darlington gets you to Kings Cross in under 2 and a half hours. Weekends are a family occasion and for those with an active lifestyle the endless options of rugby, football, cricket and golf are all available in the town. A hike over the Yorkshire Dales is within a 20 minute drive, load the kids in the car and head off to witness some of the country’s most beautiful sights.
