Homes in Chiswick
Chiswick has a rich mix of Georgian riverside houses along Chiswick Mall and Strand on the Green, Victorian and Edwardian terraces, and the pioneering Bedford Park, built from 1875 as one of the first garden suburbs with Queen Anne revival houses by Norman Shaw and others.
Grove Park has large Victorian and Edwardian houses near the river. Much of Chiswick is in conservation areas, and many period houses have been extended. Riverside properties face Thames flood risk, and the A4 and Heathrow flight paths affect noise levels in parts. Prices are among the highest in west London, and houses rarely stay on the market long, but many have older services hidden behind attractive period details.
Areas we cover include Chiswick, Bedford Park, Strand on the Green, Grove Park, Turnham Green.
