2 bed flat for sale

Parkleys, Richmond TW10

A rare opportunity to acquire an original Span apartment in need of renovation set within Herrick Court, part of the renowned Parkleys development designed by Eric Lyons and Span in the 1950s. Set amidst mature trees and landscaped communal grounds, this two-bedroom first-floor flat offers approx. 661 sq ft (61.4 sq m) of well-balanced accommodation with Span’s trademark emphasis on natural light and functional design.

The reception room (16’1 x 12’5) enjoys wide picture windows overlooking the trees, creating a calm, leafy outlook. The separate kitchen (9’1 x 8’3) features fitted units, built-in oven, and gas hob, and could easily be modernised to suit contemporary tastes.

There are two bedrooms, both with full-height windows and built-in storage, plus a bathroom with bath and shower over. The flat retains a number of original Span features, offering exciting potential for renovation or restoration to mid-century style.

Residents enjoy access to a ‘drying’ room, which is shared with the neighbouring apartment, and to beautiful communal gardens, designed to blend harmoniously with the architecture, and the property sits in a Grade ii-listed conservation area noted for its heritage and community spirit.
