Description
A niche, luxury London developer, Richstone Properties have over 20 years' experience within the housebuilding industry, taking their reputation for building environmentally friendly, classic and contemporary homes in the capital's most desirable locations to the next level for 2018. The family company's in-house team of experienced and highly talented architects and designers have managed to raise industry standards even higher with their latest build.
A handsome six bedroom family home occupying an elevated position at the top of Richmond Hill, Isabella House blends seamlessly into the Richmond Conservation Area. This imposing house is a re-creation of a four storey classic double fronted Victorian villa with a contemporary layout, exquisitely executed to create a wonderful and unique family home.
A detached new build, Isabella House enjoys the grand, classical proportions of its neighbours with the modern style and top quality finish of the multi-award winning developer. The exterior materials, including hand-finished bricks, lime mortar pointing and Portland stone mouldings for the window and door surrounds, have been carefully selected to fully complement the surrounding architecture.
At nearly 6,000 square feet, the property provides exceptional and rare lateral living space in a prime Richmond setting, just minutes away from Richmond Park and Richmond Town Centre. Incorporating five bedrooms over four floors, as well as a self contained staff suite, Isabella House has been styled and furnished with a range of one-off antiques carefully sourced from around the world, by the Richstone interior design team.
The house is entered up stunning Portland stone steps, through an imposing front door which opens into a light filled entrance hall with natural stone flooring. Light floods onto an outstanding handmade solid oak elliptical central staircase which has delicate cast iron spindles - from a specially commissioned oval feature skylight in the roof.
Leading off the hall through full height Crittall framed glass doors is the superb 600 square foot kitchen, custom designed and built by the Richstone team, incorporating a powerful Wolf range and Miele appliances - with an impressive slimline glazed Victorian-style rooflight. The all-essential kitchen island is topped with an incredible single six and a half square metre sheet of Italian sourced Carrara Bianco marble. The kitchen has fabulous views of the garden and direct access is available to the garden and the outside seating area, through large French doors. Adjoining the kitchen is an elegant, generous sized formal dining room accessed through a large, yet discreet, walk through Butler's Pantry.
Both the dining room and drawing room have beautiful bay windows with full height sash windows and feature fabulous French-style marble fireplaces with granite hearths. Huge centre piece chandeliers and beautiful ceiling roses were personally selected by Richstone's co-founder, Laura Rich-Jones. The drawing room has triple aspect windows, flooding the room with light, and French doors opening onto the
Yorkstone terrace and private mature landscaped gardens, which wrap around the rear and side of the home.
Spanning the depth of the first floor, the grand master suite has magnificent views of St Matthias Church, designed by eminent Victorian architect Sir George Gilbert Scott, and the surrounding Conservation Area. It features another bay window with sitting area, a spectacular marble fireplace, large walk-in dressing room and a stunning Italian bookmatched Carrara Bianco marble en-suite bathroom with freestanding cast iron bath. There is an oversized walk-in shower and Drummond's marble washstand with dual Lefroy Brooks sinks and nickel taps.
A second double bedroom suite with further bay window, completes the first floor accommodation, with three additional double bedrooms, and a fabulous fully equipped family bathroom and further en suite bathroom, located on the second floor, along with generous cupboard space in the landing. Discreet coving creates elevated ceiling heights on the upper floor.
The light filled lower ground floor has the same generous ceiling heights enjoyed on all the other floors. A self-contained staff suite, complete with adjacent boot room, private garden terrace and separate entrance with beautiful cast iron spiral staircase, sits alongside the fully equipped Entertainment Room, accessed through full width Crittall doors with 75 inch flat screen TV and Sonos Home Sound System and study with bespoke cabinetry, and temperature controlled wine cellar.
