Hampton Wick, KT1
3 Vine Cottages is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom Victorian workman's cottage, built around 1870 and extending to 68 sqm. The property is offered freehold. The current owners are selling as their first family home has been outgrown. The asking price of £589,000 has been set with reference to a realistic market range of £575,000–£600,000 for comparable cottages in the area.
The cottage retains genuine period character, most notably an exposed brick chimney breast housing a wood-burning stove in the reception room. A cottage-style kitchen features a stable door that opens directly to the rear courtyard garden, which has been designed to be low-maintenance. Neighbours in the row have carried out loft conversions, and the property may offer similar potential, though buyers should make their own enquiries with the local planning authority.
