Russells GreenThe Coombe Hill Estate is a place of leafy beauty, and in recent times has become established as one of the most desirable places to live in Surrey. “It was the location and garden that initially attracted us to this house,” says Mitra. “These days it’s rare to find a large house with a spacious garden in an area that is this close to central London. It’s a place to which friends can come without worrying about where they’re going to park, we have space to entertain and it’s incredibly peaceful; often the only sound we hear is that of birdsong.”

This beautiful family home occupies an enviable position on Coombe Hill Road, a quiet, private road that offers seclusion and sanctuary in a most convenient area that has an enviable array of shops and amenities, all just a stones throw away. “It’s a fabulous location,” continues Mitra, “because you almost feel as if you are in the countryside, and yet you can be in Wimbledon in only a couple of minutes, Kingston in five minutes or Richmond in around ten minutes, and of course you can either hop on the train or into the car and be in central London in no time at all.”

Over the years Russells Green, which was built the 1950s, has been beautifully modernised and is now a very spacious and beautifully presented family home. “We completely renovated the kitchen just a few years ago,” says Mitra, “and I couldn’t be happier with it. We chose Tom Howley bespoke units and top-of-the range appliances, and it’s now a beautiful space for cooking and entertaining, both of which I do a lot.”

“One of the things that I particularly like about this house is the layout,” says Mitra. “The kitchen flows into the dining room, which flows into the living room, which flows into the conservatory, and because we have double doors between each space you can open them up and give the house an almost open-plan feel. We also have an virtually self-contained annex area downstairs, which has been very useful when guests come to visit, but it also has the potential to be used either for grandparents or teenagers wanting their own space.”

“All of the principle rooms overlook the garden,” says Mitra, “which is extremely pretty. It’s arranged over different levels, so there are lots of different places to sit and enjoy the sun. The landscaping was done before we bought the house, so it’s nicely established, but I’ve also done quite a lot of planting over the years, so in spring and summer in particular it looks absolutely stunning.”

“I really love this house just as it is,” says Mitra, “but it has so much potential to be improved further; it’s a bit of a blank canvass ready for someone to come in and really put their stamp on it. It’s a really lovely family home.”*

‘Russells Green’ is a five bedroom, four reception, three bathroom 1950’s detached residence with grounds and gardens on each side to create somewhat of a retreat, subtly set behind an established walled façade onto Coombe Hill Road. With garaging for up to two cars and unrestricted parking on the road, this property provides a family with space, privacy, proximity and possibility, in a highly desirable location close to central London.

One of several key features particularly interesting about this house is the ground floor layout - the kitchen flows into the dining room, which flows into the living room, which flows into the conservatory. The double doors between each room can be opened up to create open-plan feel – lots of adaptable space to entertain in an incredibly peaceful private setting.

The kitchen was completely renovated just a few years ago - the current owners choosing Tom Howley bespoke units and top of the range appliances to create a beautiful space for cooking and entertaining.

In addition the layout provides a virtually self-contained annex area downstairs - very useful when guests come to visit or to be used either for grandparents or teenagers wanting their own space.

All of the principle rooms overlook the pretty landscaped garden which has been arranged over different levels, providing lots of different places to sit and enjoy the sun.

Furthermore the property offers considerable potential to be increased in size - the opportunity to add space to this already lovely family home without the need to take away from the garden only adds to the opportunity presented.

This beautiful family home occupies an enviable position on Coombe Hill Road; a quiet, private road that offers seclusion and sanctuary in a most convenient area with easy access to an array of shops and amenities in the surrounding towns and villages.
