This thatched cottage is a rare gem


If you’re on the market for a charming home, this one is particularly special: take a look inside Pembroke Cottage, which sits within the grounds of Richmond Park.

Look Inside… Pembroke Cottage, Richmond Park

Living room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a large garden

While the verdant grounds of Richmond Park are perfect for a picnic or a leisurely stroll, does anyone actually live there? When it comes to Pembroke Cottage (a gorgeous property which once served Pembroke Lodge, the Georgian mansion now used as a wedding venue), the answer is yes – and it’s just hit the market.

Kitchen with white cabinets and grey granite countertops

Spanning a generous 3,000 square feet, Pembroke Cottage dates back to the 1800s (although it was renovated and extended in 2003). Positioned behind a gated entrance, it boasts three bedrooms, four bathrooms and two reception rooms, as well as a large private garden.

Cantlivered limestone staircase

You’ll spot vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and oak floors throughout the property, but the real showstopper is its cantilevered limestone staircase (and the floor-to-ceiling glass panel in the living room).

On the ground floor, the living room and neighbouring study are both complete with their own balconies, while the kitchen/breakfast room on the lower ground level features stylish granite worktops, an AGA and a large dining area. From here, double doors lead onto a smart patio at the edge of the garden.

Presenting a rare opportunity to live in Richmond Park, Pembroke Cottage really is one of a kind – and it’s likely to get snapped up soon (for a cool £5 million).
