Why move to Twickenham?
Other local landmarks include Eel Pie Island and its artists’ community, the fairy-tale Strawberry Hill House, stately Marble Hill House and its surrounding park, Harlequins Rugby Club and the charm of Church Street, a cobbled street which offers alfresco dinning in the summer. What’s more, the area benefits from direct, fast access into the heart of London by car or train, and excellent access to the national motorway network.
Architecture and property
Detached houses are usually Victorian or Edwardian villas, though there are also charming Victorian cottages and semi-detached properties from the 1920s and 1930s. Desirable addresses include the Trust Grounds area of St Margarets, where the houses share ‘secret’ gardens, as well as Strawberry Hill Road, The Green and Waldegrave Gardens.
Green space
Twickenham was once thought of as a fashionable resort town, so there are a number of lovely riverside homes and gardens which are now open to the public. This includes Marble Hill House, a Palladian mansion set in 66 acres of parkland. There are also walks along the river and in the Ham Lands, as well as Richmond Park.
