Beaumont House | 5-Bedroom Apartment with Spa in Richmond upon Thames

Ten guests arriving at a luxury villa rental Richmond upon Thames means five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a property designed to absorb a small gathering without anyone feeling cramped. Beaumont House sits within one of London’s most coveted neighbourhoods—a borough where half the land remains parkland, where deer wander through ancient woodland, and where the Thames flows for more than 10 miles through neighbourhoods that have perfected the art of gracious living.

Inside Beaumont House

Beaumont House sleeps 10 guests across 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Ground level living begins with a substantial lounge featuring an L-shaped seating arrangement and television; this room flows naturally into a dining zone where large windows flood the space with daylight. A dedicated cinema room sits adjacent, equipped with a projector and additional seating—the kind of space where rainy afternoons disappear into films and conversation. The kitchen commands serious attention: dishwasher, dual refrigeration, wine cooler, professional cooker, microwave, kettle, toaster, coffee machine, and blender occupy counter and cabinet space methodically arranged around a central island. This is a kitchen that transforms reluctant cooks into enthusiastic dinner volunteers. Skylights pour natural light across preparation zones and dining surfaces, while the island provides additional seating where guests gather during meal preparation.

The ground floor also hosts a separate WC with walk-in shower, ensuring guests never queue for facilities during peak mornings.

Ascending to the first floor reveals the master bedroom—a sanctuary with king-size bed, sitting area, fireplace, integrated storage, and television. The ensuite bathroom features a soaking tub and contemporary fixtures designed for extended bathing. This room functions as both sleeping chamber and private retreat.

Four additional bedrooms complete the upper level. The first double bedroom includes a sitting area and dedicated storage. The second and third double bedrooms each feature designated workspaces—essential for guests who cannot entirely escape professional obligations. The fifth bedroom contains bunk beds (2 x singles), a small daybed, and ample floor space; this configuration suits families with younger children or groups requiring flexible sleeping arrangements. A second family bathroom with WC and walk-in shower services these upper rooms.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

Step beyond the kitchen through floor-to-ceiling sliding doors and the garden emerges—two distinct terrace zones, parasol-shaded seating, and an al fresco dining configuration that transforms meals into events. A substantial BBQ anchors one terrace; a firepit creates evening gathering space. The garden itself maintains manicured presentation: a cabbage palm anchors the landscape, suspended with a rope swing that proves irresistible to children. Balcony space provides additional vantage points. Bicycle provision means exploration extends beyond walking distance. Board games, a projector for outdoor screening, and library access fill quieter afternoons.
