First time to market in almost 100 years. A substantial residence with a large private garden and Richmond Park quite literally on the doorstep, offering an exceptional opportunity to create an outstanding family home.<br/><br/>Built in around 1904, Crescent Road has been in the same family ownership since 1926 and now presents an opportunity to completely transform a substantial period residence.<br/><br/>Extending to over 5,000 sq ft, the property offers considerable space and scope, with the original hallway and staircase providing a glimpse of the character within. The house was converted into five flats in the 1950s but remains on a single title and offers the potential to be brought back together as one impressive family home.<br/><br/>The large private garden provides further scope, with planning permission already in place for a substantial driveway and extensions to the rear of the property.<br/><br/>The house also has an interesting history. During the Second World War it was requisitioned by the Government and used by a searchlight unit as part of London's air raid protection, before later being used to accommodate injured Canadian soldiers returning from the D-Day campaign.<br/><br/>Richmond Park is approximately a four-minute walk away, while Norbiton station and Kingston town centre are also within easy reach.<br/><br/>A property with this combination of scale, garden, history and proximity to Richmond Park is rarely available and offers the opportunity to create a truly exceptional home.
