Delivering views of the River Thames and located just a short walk from Kingston town centre, the setting of this riverside home is impressive. It's handy for travel into central London, too with parking for two cars on a secure drive and Hampton Wick Station just a five-minute walk away for direct trains into the city. While we're into the mid-century interiors and private courtyard garden, the kitchen and bathrooms could do with an update. But we're happy to let that slide for a home with such a unique setting.
