Nightingale Lane, London, SW12

Seamlessly blending original period detailing with contemporary interior design, this property offers nearly 3,500 sq. ft. of beautifully presented accommodation arranged over four floors. Refurbished by the current owners to an exacting standard and designed by Inter Urban Studios, the property won a prize in the biennial Wandsworth Design Awards in 2017 and was shortlisted for the Don’t Move, Improve awards in the same year. It has also been featured in several architectural and design publications, including The Wall Street Journal.

Upon entering, a spacious hallway with a herringbone floor and beamed ceiling leads to a generous double reception room to the right. This space is divided by a double-sided “cloud” room divider, designed by Ermes Ponti and finished in stained and hand-veneered oak, allowing the rooms to be used separately or together while still allowing natural light to flow through. A box window seat with a bespoke leather table and built-in leather bench seating perfectly frames the garden.

The dining area flows seamlessly into a strikingly contemporary extension, featuring an open-plan kitchen with a bespoke lightweight marine wood design, quartzite work surfaces, and integrated appliances. A sunken reception room, enhanced by clever use of exposed poured concrete walls that add softness to the space, is bathed in natural light from floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that open onto the garden. A marble-clad fireplace provides additional warmth during the winter months.

The upper floors feature three exceptionally spacious double bedrooms. The principal suite, located at the rear of the house on the first floor, boasts a large walk-in dressing room with built-in storage, dark wood and marble finishes, twin basins set into a vanity unit, and a glass and marble-enclosed shower. A second double bedroom and a family bathroom are also found on this floor. The top floor houses a stunning vaulted bedroom with exposed beams and an en-suite shower room.

The lower ground floor, accessible via a separate side entrance, comprises two additional double bedrooms, a large family bathroom, a reception room with an open-plan kitchen, and a generous utility room.

The beautifully landscaped garden offers a tranquil retreat, featuring a combination of hard and soft landscaping, outdoor lighting, a watering system, green walls, relaxing water feature, trees, and raised planters filled with shrubs. A Fogher outdoor kitchen imported from Italy enhances this space, making it an ideal setting for entertaining and relaxing during the warmer months.

To the front of the house, gated off-street parking is available for two cars along with secure bike storage.

The home also benefits from underfloor heating, an integrated sound system, both in and outdoors, and video entrance system across three floors.

This property is ideally located on Nightingale Lane, within walking distance of Clapham Common and Wandsworth Common. A fantastic selection of private and state schools is nearby (subject to catchment and entrance requirements each year), and the amenities of Bellevue Road, Northcote Road, and central Balham are easily accessible. Clapham South tube station is approximately a five-minute walk away, providing quick and convenient access to the City via Bank.
