CONTACTCONTACTSales at The Star and Garter, created by London Square, Richmond Hill have hit the 50 per cent mark – following the recent launch of this grand restoration overlooking the Thames and Richmond Park. More than two thousand potential buyers registered for the launch and apartments have been snapped up by purchasers keen to own an impressive home in the Grade II listed landmark, with a view from Richmond Hill sweeping down over the Thames considered so beautiful it is the only one in England protected by an Act of Parliament. Rebecca Littler, Sales and Marketing Director, London Square, said: “The response has been astonishing, with huge demand from people who live in Richmond and also from those living in London and further afield who want a home with real presence and a 5-star lifestyle to match. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy an apartment with the highest specification and bespoke detail in a famous building with a fascinating history and in the most beautiful setting. Richmond has so much to offer, fabulous restaurants and shops, a great cultural and arts scene, plus excellent leisure facilities, from riding, golf and polo to fabulous places to walk and run next to the Thames and in Richmond Park.” London Square is undertaking a grand restoration of The Star and Garter building and gardens with an impeccable royal and cultural lineage. There are 86 architecturally stunning apartments and duplexes being created. The Star and Garter offers a lifestyle akin to a boutique hotel or private club, from the cool marble hall, grand staircase and beyond to the spectacular gardens, overlooking the river and Petersham Meadows. The meticulously restored King’s Room, with its original parquet flooring, ornate mouldings, coffered ceilings and fireplaces, will offer an opulent spa, pool and fitness suite. A concierge service will be provided to attend to residents’ requirements and make everyday life hassle-free. The development’s magnificent period features combine with the very highest contemporary interior specification and the finest materials and finishes have been used in the apartments and duplexes. Many of the apartments will have private terraces to maximise the glorious setting and views. The listed terrace garden and grounds will also be restored, with an historic fountain retained at the centre of the Italianate garden for all residents to enjoy. The facade overlooks 2,500 acres of Richmond Park, the largest of the Royal Parks - perfect for walking, riding, golf, rugby, running and cycling. The Thames at Richmond also offers boating, plus walking and cycling along the towpath to Kingston and Kew. Alex Carr, Partner at Knight Frank and joint selling agent for the development, comments: “The Star and Garter has it all – a handsome prime development in a fashionable setting. Buyers have really appreciated that The Star and Garter has real cachet – a collector’s item with great potential to grow in value.” Robert Leigh, Managing Director of Featherstone Leigh and joint selling agent, comments: “Richmond is one of London’s most coveted areas, a favourite with celebrities, affluent entrepreneurs and professionals, where people want to live. We have seen strong interest from people already in Richmond who want to move from a large family home to an impressive address with a great sense of space. The excitement surrounding the launch of The Star and Garter has been building up over the past year and the level of sales reflects that.” Richmond has superb transport connections, with national rail, overground and underground lines at Richmond station just 0.7 miles from The Star and Garter.
