Twickenham, TW1 3HN

A bright, top-floor two-bedroom apartment set within a handsome Victorian conversion, moments from the heart of St Margaret's village and offered chain free. The flat opens to a spacious reception room with wooden floors and twin front-aspect windows, running open-plan into a bespoke, fully integrated Quantum kitchen with a breakfast bar, a light, sociable space that works equally well for everyday living and entertaining. Both bedrooms are doubles: the principal room has fitted wardrobes and a pair of rear-aspect windows, with a second double and a modern bathroom with underfloor heating completing the accommodation. Useful storage runs throughout. The real point of difference is the private roof terrace, an unusual luxury at this level, and a genuine sun-trap for morning coffee or al fresco dining through the summer. For location it is hard to better. St Margaret's village, with its boutique cafés, shops and restaurants, sits a stone's throw away, while St Margaret's station and the green open space of Moor Mead Park are moments from the door. Twickenham High Street and its mainline station, with fast links into London Waterloo, lie under half a mile off, and the area is well served by popular schools including Orleans Park, Orleans Primary and St Stephen's Primary. Chain free and beautifully positioned, it makes an easy first purchase or a characterful step up within TW1.
