Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
We love how this historic tower is the perfect setting for a romantic getaway in Richmond. Fancy walking your dog beside the River Thames? This pet-friendly home is small and lacks a TV, so remember to pack your favourite books or a laptop. But charm is promised with the three-storey layout, stained glass windows, and Juliet balcony. Plus, you'll stay in a gated community with beautiful gardens to share with your neighbours. Going out? Pubs and historical landmarks are only a stroll away.

About Richmond
It's not hard to fall in love with Richmond. When you're in the midst of the wilderness of its beautiful park surrounded by deer, it's almost impossible to believe that you are in fact only eight miles from Central London. Originally a royal retreat, the area has been known as ‘London’s Arcadia’ for hundreds of years, with famous figures such as David Attenborough, Jerry Hall, Richard E Grant, Ronnie Wood...
