A period home, exquisitely modernised and overlooking Twickenham Green, is on the market for £875,000.

This fabulous Victorian family home on First Cross Road was built in 1863 and is deemed a house of historical importance and Townscape Merit by Richmond council.

The front offers views across Twickenham Green and its cricket pitches, where former England Test star Monty Panesar can be seen occasionally turning his arm over.

Although it has a relatively small footprint, the building has been improved and extended – with a quirky layout upstairs - to create a family home with three bedrooms.

The asking price of £875,000 is fractionally below the average sale price of terraced properties in the borough of £882,025, according to the Office for National Statistics.

It provides just over 1,000 sq ft of internal space with lots of living space on the ground floor, combining traditional and modern features including a spacious reception room with feature fireplace, a superb kitchen/breakfast room, and utility room.

Upstairs there is a luxury shower room, two large double bedrooms and a single bedroom (off the second bedroom).

Outside there is a pretty front garden and a secluded, south-west facing rear garden with patio area and side access.
