What the owners say….

This is an excellent family sized property, close to good schools and really close to central London. We adore the house and converted it to be our forever home. If it wasn’t for work, we wouldn’t have moved away because we adore Kingston, Norbiton, and the house. We have drawings and building regs for the loft conversion – in to a large master ensuite – but work necessitated us to leave before commencing the building work
