Fine & Country are delighted to offer to the market a property that is a real change from the usual, located right in the heart of Kingston.
Higgs Yard, Richmond Road is a collection of only four high specification ECO flats overlooking a beautiful communal courtyard, creating a highly innovative, low environmental impact secret urban residential development.
With two bedrooms and three bathrooms, this environmentally conscious home is arranged over two floors and provides over 1100 sq. ft. of living space.The gated pedestrian entrance off the busy Richmond Road gives nothing away to this secluded collection of apartments. As you are drawn along the two metre wide alleyway, it opens into a landscaped courtyard bathed in natural light, providing a private green space that looks, sounds and feels a world away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.This isolated location is further complimented by what is noticeably missing - noise.
Features of this ECO development include:
Innovative aspects of low energy design technology
A filtered air heat recovery mechanical supply and extract ventilation system that provides exemplary internal air quality
Solar panels providing 50% of the thermal energy used in domestic hot water production
Rainwater recycling system
A planted roof to increase natural habitat space, improve storm water retention and reduce urban heat loss
Each flat has been designed to achieve an 'excellent' rating under the ECO homes sustainability rating method.
Higgs Yard is approximately three minutes walk from Kingston Train Station, with direct lines into Waterloo, Teddington, Twickenham & Shepperton.Richmond Road provides regular buses to and from Richmond, with Cromwell Road bus station only four minutes walk.
There is also provision for up to seven bicycles
Additional Information
The Higgs Yard was named in honour of the pharmacist Alfred Higgs of Richmond Road. Mr Higgs was the first 'commoner' to be elected as a Kingston magistrate, a position he held for 40 years. In 1893 the first Kingston phone book was launched and within it an advert for Mr Higgs Dispensing Pharmacy on Richmond Road.
Mr Higgs was one of the first residents to install a telephone room at his chemists shop, where customers could pay 2d (around 1 pence in today's money) for three minutes' talk time.
The shared courtyard space is draped with grapevines and other climbers. The inclusion of these particular plants is in recognition of a popular tonic produced by Alfred Higgs at this location using the grapes grown in the yard.
