In addition, there is a quaint array of jewellery, antique and other more specialist stores mainly set around Richmond's picturesque Village Green, with a series of narrow cobbled alleyways. Richmond also provides three cinemas, a bustling nightlife and a much acclaimed theatre, also located on The Green.

The local schools enjoy an excellent reputation including The Unicorn School, Broomfield School, The Vineyard Primary School, King's House School, St Elizabeth's Roman Catholic School and The Old Vicarage School.

DESCRIPTION Once owned by the guitarist Phil Lynott, PAGODA HOUSE occupies a generous plot and secluded position behind gates with attractive well maintained gardens. As can be seen from the floor plan the house totals 4,220 sq ft, which is both practically and flexibly configured over two levels providing equally well for family life or more formal entertaining. Most rooms enjoy open aspects and a host of period features to include an oak panelled drawing room, original fireplaces, leaded stained glass windows, and a most elegant oak panelled staircase. This period charm is complimented by a superb conservatory, which runs to the rear of the property and overlooks the gardens and a newly fitted kitchen/breakfast room. The first floor offers five good size bedrooms and three bathrooms, two of which are en-suite.

To the rear of the garden, there is a double storey studio, which has a 34'5 reception room with open plan kitchen, separate shower room and first floor bedroom. To the rear and to both sides of the house there are delightfully landscaped gardens, whilst to the front there is ample off street parking for several vehicles. It is rare for a house of such excellent proportions to enter the market and as the Vendor's agent we would highly recommend an early inspection.
