Coombe Wood Road, Kingston Upon Thames, KT2

A distinguished Arts & Crafts residence dating to 1928, Prospect Cottage is set on a generous south-west facing plot along a peaceful private road in the coveted Coombe Estate, moments from Richmond Park’s Ladderstile Gate.
Having been thoughtfully extended and meticulously modernised by its current owners, the property now offers exceptional family accommodation that blends timeless architectural charm with contemporary comfort and style.
Occupying approximately half an acre, the home sits within beautifully landscaped gardens, with multiple patios, a hot tub, and a mature selection of specimen trees and flowering shrubs—providing both seclusion and seasonal colour. Electric gates open onto a spacious driveway with parking for five to six vehicles, including a carport.
Inside, the house offers a superb balance of elegant formal reception rooms and relaxed family spaces. The expansive kitchen/dining/family room forms the heart of the home, complete with a four-oven Aga, granite worktops, underfloor heating, Sonos-integrated ceiling speakers, and bespoke cabinetry. A snug/breakfast room opens onto a charming terrace, while the double-aspect drawing room with parquet flooring and a marble fireplace leads out to the rear gardens through French doors.
Additional ground floor spaces include a formal music room, a study with vaulted ceiling and stained glass features, a cloakroom, a playroom/sensory room with integrated lighting and sound systems, and a large utility area with extensive storage. A self-contained annexe offers flexible accommodation with its own kitchen, ideal for guests, au pair, or extended family.
Upstairs, the principal suite is truly exceptional, enjoying triple-aspect views over the gardens, twin dressing rooms, and a luxurious en-suite with jacuzzi bath and walk-in shower. There are three further bedrooms on this floor, including a guest bedroom with en-suite (part of the annexe), and a family bathroom. Leaded light Heritage double glazing and high-quality finishes continue throughout.
Further highlights include a spiral staircase to an additional reception/kitchen area, modern gas-fired central heating, strong WiFi connectivity throughout, and a Banham central station alarm system. The garden features an irrigation system, lighting across all elevations, a feature ornamental well, and a large garden shed with power and shelving.
Location
Coombe offers the tranquillity of a semi-rural setting with the convenience of London living. Richmond Park is on the doorstep, with nearby Ladderstile Gate providing direct pedestrian access. Prestigious local schools—including Holy Cross, Rokeby, Marymount International, and Canbury School—are all within walking distance, as is Kingston University.
Transport links are excellent, with Norbiton station under 2.5km away (trains to Waterloo in approx. 29 minutes), easy access to the A3, and proximity to Heathrow and Gatwick airports. Local buses connect to Putney, Esher, and Kingston, with East Putney (District Line) the nearest Underground station.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and beautifully appointed home in one of southwest London’s most desirable enclaves.
