About this house rental
Dating back to circa 1699, The Rosary is a remarkable Grade II listed home and a beautiful example of William and Mary–period architecture. With its striking five-window façade and elegant oriel bay, this historic 3 bedroom house sits quietly opposite the church and just off the lively heart of Richmond High Street, offering a rare combination of heritage, calm, and convenience.
Entry is through a gated courtyard garden that immediately sets a serene tone. Inside, the hallway leads to the main reception room, an inviting space furnished with a sumptuous green sofa, armchairs, and a gas fireplace - perfect for relaxed evenings. To the right, a charming library doubles as a TV snug, complete with a sofa and a traditional log burner, creating a cosy retreat within the home.
The first floor is home to the master bedroom, a gracious double featuring an ornamental fireplace, armchair, and chest of drawers. Across the landing sits a beautifully appointed bathroom that also functions as a dressing room, with fitted wardrobes, a deep freestanding bath, walk-in shower, sink, and loo - both practical and indulgent in equal measure.
On the second floor, a single bedroom offers a quiet, characterful space with its own armchair and ornamental fireplace. A bathroom with shower and sink sits across the landing, with a separate loo next door. A study on this level is reserved for access to the laundry area, housing a washing machine and tumble dryer.
The lower ground floor reveals another charming layer of the house. Here, the third bedroom is a comfortable double with chest of drawers, wardrobe, and ornamental fireplace, alongside a shower room and loo. French doors open directly onto the patio garden, creating a peaceful connection to the outdoors.
The dining room is a warm and atmospheric space with a large table seating up to six guests, a log burner, and access to the patio garden - ideal for both everyday meals and special occasions. Steps lead down to the oldest part of the house, where a vaulted ceiling frames a sophisticated sitting and drinks area with TV. Beyond this, the fully equipped stainless-steel kitchen combines heritage with modern efficiency, featuring an Aga, oven, hob, microwave, and coffee machine.
With its layered history, beautifully preserved features, and thoughtful modern updates, this exceptional Richmond home offers a truly memorable stay in one of London’s most desirable neighbourhoods.
