This is a rare opportunity to rent a stunning two- bedroom garden apartment situated in the impressive Garrick’s House, which was purchased by David Garrick for his nephew of the same name.  David Garrick, the most famous actor of his time, first came to Hampton in 1754 and bought the nearby property, Garrick’s Villa, as a retreat from the pressure of London theatrical life.  During the twenty-two years following his arrival in Hampton, Garrick bought up nearby properties and extended the Garrick Estate.

This garden apartment is set in beautiful, green and tranquil surroundings on the banks of the river Thames.  It has a large private terrace facing south across the river.  The property includes a large double reception room with a fireplace and four full-length windows overlooking the garden and the river.  The apartment has been tastefully refurbished throughout to a high standard whilst still retaining many original period features.  It has recently had a new fitted kitchen installed.

A key figure in the restoration of Shakespeare's popularity in the 18th century, Garrick also built the nearby ‘Garrick’s Temple’ that holds his monument to Shakespeare.  Garrick was one of the greatest actors to appear on the English stage and his grave lies in Poet’s Corner, at the foot of Shakespeare's statue, in Westminster Abbey.

This property would suit a single professional or professional couple.  The flat is available to rent from 1st May and interested parties should contact Quinton Scott’s Kingston office on 020 8939 8181 for further information.
