The expansive and mature garden presents wonderful potential.

At the end of the garden is approximately 98 feet (29.9 meters) of frontage directly onto the River Thames with stepped direct access down to the waters edge.

A few houses on Hartington Road boast private swimming pools, pool houses, and tennis courts. Given the size of the garden, it can accommodate all these amenities and the seller's architects have sketched designs incorporating these features. There’s also the possibility of additional outbuildings similar to those found in the neighbouring gardens. Although, these features are not consented, advice has been taken which has been met favourably.

The proposed unconsented concept/plan of the garden is available on request.

Location

Hartington Road is a charming residential street in the heart of Grove Park, a low traffic neighbourhood, and runs parallel to the River Thames on the northern side. The road is characterised by large family houses, with generous gardens often landscaped to cater for family life leading down to the tranquillity of the river. This house is particularly special due to the detached architecture and incredible plot size.

Chiswick is well served by network rail and TFL. Chiswick station, approximately 0.5 miles from the house, offers services into Waterloo taking approximately 26 minutes via Clapham Junction and Vauxhall with 4 trains an hour during week days.

Gunnersbury underground is approximately 1.2 miles to the north providing District Line services into central London and the City. Multiple bus routes run on the roads running parallel to the site to Chiswick and Shepherd’s Bush.

Chiswick itself offers easy access to central London, the A4 and the M4 motorway.
The property is also ideally located for some of London's best primary and secondary schools including Orchard House, Latymer Prep and Upper School, Ravenscourt Prep, St. Pauls and The Harrodian.
