Property Profile Although the property requires a little updating, it certainly presents a comfortable family home offering a surprisingly spacious interior, and retaining its period character, in one of south west London’s most outstanding settings. The property itself was one of the entrance lodges to Coombe House, formerly the residence of Prince George, the first Duke of Cambridge, later that of the Earl of Liverpool (Prime Minister for 15 years), reputedly visited by many distinguished visitors, including Queen Victoria and the Duke of Wellington.

The lodge itself has all rooms arranged on one level around a central hallway, with a light and roomy interior that will certainly surprise. From the entrance lobby, the door opens into a dining hall, with a double aspect through original sash windows. The adjacent kitchen/ breakfast room, with a double oven and hob, has a door to the rear garden. The hallway leads to a large, double aspect drawing room with French windows opening onto an outdoor seating area in the rear garden. A large brick fireplace is the central feature of this grand and airy entertaining space.

A double guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom is privately located at one end of the house. There are 3 further bedrooms, including a large master bedroom, featuring high ceilings and a loft space, and a second family bathroom with a white suite and a separate shower cubicle.
