Cutting To The Chase

Berkeley has launched a new five-bedroom show home – with interiors by Wells & Maguire – at Richmond Chase, its development located on the edge Ham village and bordered by the ancient woodland of Richmond Park. The house, boasting Victorian-inspired architecture which mirrors the tradition of nearby Richmond Village, is now available to view by appointment.

Delivering 2,525 square feet of expansive living space across three storeys, the show home is completed to the excellent specification for which Berkeley are renowned. The interiors exude style; the neutral, calming colour palette and attention to detail complements the home’s classic, understated design.

On the ground floor, a vast entrance hall welcomes, creating a magnificent first impression. To the left is a grand, formal sitting room, complete with a wide bay window which provides additional cushioned seating and floods the room with light. Set towards the rear of the home, the spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is ideal for relaxing and entertaining, while a large utility room accessed from the kitchen keeps domestic clutter out of sight. Extending the space further, the floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors open out to a manicured private garden.

Ascending the stairs, double-height ceilings enhance the incredible sense of space found throughout the home. The luxurious master bedroom suite comprises a large en-suite bathroom and a separate walk-in dressing area with copious fitted wardrobes. The second and fourth bedrooms also feature their own en-suite shower rooms, while the third bedroom is perfectly sized for a nursery or children’s room. The fifth bedroom, which has been furnished as a study, demonstrates the flexibility and convenience the house offers to home workers. There are also two spacious family bathrooms, located on the first and second floors.

The home effortlessly combines style with practicality; two parking spaces are provided and large cupboards can be found on each floor providing an abundance of storage space.

Paul Vallone, Divisional Managing Director, Berkeley, comments: “Richmond Chase is a hidden gem in South West London. The homes are spacious, bright and provide a flexible layout that means families can adapt the space to truly fit their needs. Richmond Chase is peaceful and private, yet it is perfectly placed on the edge of Richmond Park for residents to enjoy the great outdoors.  With some of London’s top performing schools nearby – Richmond Chase is ideal for young families. The shops and cafes of nearby Richmond and Kingston offer both independent and high street brands with something for everyone.”

Richmond Park’s acres of ancient woodland and meadows offer a countryside retreat and the chance to spot the park’s famous deer, as well as an array of sporting activities. Richmond Golf Club is situated to the north-west of the parkland, while the River Thames and its riverside walks can also be reached in fifteen minutes on foot.

While residents will enjoy the tranquillity of its rural setting, Richmond Chase is also almost equidistant to both Kingston’s vibrant town centre (10 minutes by car) and Richmond’s charming boutiques, restaurants and bistros (11 minutes).

Richmond Chase is also ideally located for families with school-age children as it is surrounded by some of London’s most respected schools in London; Tiffin’s School for Girls is a short drive away whilst Marymount International School is only 11 minutes away by car.

The A3 is under 15 minutes’ drive away, providing a direct route to Central London and the M25 and south to Surrey and the coast. Overground trains from Richmond Station to Clapham Junction take as little as eight minutes, and trains to London Waterloo from 19 minutes.

Prices at Richmond Chase start from £1.48 million for a three-bedroom house. The show home is open daily from 10am to 6pm (and to 8pm on Thursdays). To visit, contact the sales team on 020 3883 4198 or visit www.richmond-chase.co.uk.
