Key features and description

Ormeley Lodge is a beautiful early Georgian property set in a semi-rural pocket roughly 10 miles from Hyde Park Corner, enjoying a superb position between Ham Common and Richmond Park. Richmond Golf Club and Sudbrook Park border the property to the north and east, while the untouched Ham Common Woods Nature Reserve lies directly to the south, opening onto Richmond Park's 2,500 acres.

Built at the tail end of the Queen Anne era and the dawn of the Georgian period, the house blends English Baroque and Classical influences, with generously proportioned rooms full of light beneath high ceilings. The principal rooms reach an average of 3.4 metres, just over 11 feet, capturing the balance and order so characteristic of early 18th century design and craftsmanship.

Remarkably, the estate has survived into the 21st century complete with its self- contained guest and staff accommodation and magnificent walled gardens, today featuring generous herbaceous borders, wildflower meadows, an orchard, fruit and vegetable gardens, an aviary, an all-weather tennis court and a secluded modernist swimming pool with a south-facing pavilion.

To the west of the main house, Ormeley Mews flanks a courtyard, providing garaging, a gardener's store and staffroom with a service flat above, along with separate staff and guest cottages.
