Richmond HillRichmond, TW10 6BF

Occupying a prime position within this iconic and much acclaimed Grade II listed lift serviced building, this exquisitely appointed and generously proportioned apartment boasts incredible views over its beautifully manicured gardens, the River Thames, Petersham Meadows and the Thames Valley beyond. These views can be enjoyed both internally as well as externally from its private South West facing terrace, which perfectly captures the breathtaking sunsets. It also benefits from a larger terrace to the front of the building, that is shared with just one other apartment. What is particularly unusual is that the property spans the full depth of the building and is therefore seven windows across. There is an excellent flow of natural light with the fabulous open plan living/dining room having a triple aspect. As soon as you enter the property you are welcomed by a large reception hallway that beautifully sets the tone and further emphasises the quality and volume of this unique and wonderful home. There are two secure parking spaces allocated to the apartment with an electric charging pod and the property further benefits from a modern alarm system.

The building was constructed between 1921 and 1924 to a design by Sir Edwin Cooper, based on a plan produced by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in 1915, to provide accommodation and nursing facilities for seriously injured servicemen. Following Queen Elizabeth II's reopening in 1978, the property received a Royal Charter in 1979. It was converted in 2014 into exclusive luxury apartments by the 'high end' developers London Square.

The leisure suite is located in the Kings Room and available exclusively to residents. It's divided into distinct areas containing the pool and jacuzzi, gym and sun room, with views of the gardens as a glorious backdrop. The 16 x 5 metre pool is fitted with resistance jets, making it suitable for serious swimming, whilst the adjacent Jacuzzi provides the perfect environment for soothing tired muscles. The sun room has heated loungers and the generously sized gym area is equipped with the latest cardio machines. Two private treatment rooms, in a different part of the building, can be booked for visiting beauticians and masseuses. Across the hall you'll find the magnificent residents lounge, the Queens Room.
Another feature for relaxation is the screening room, a luxurious in-house cinema which residents can book to watch their choice of movie or sporting event along with specially-invited friends. The Star and Garter gardens were laid out when the building was opened and are undoubtedly one of its greatest assets. Residents can also take advantage of the town car service and full 24/7 concierge services.
