An imposing and incredibly handsome semi-detached six bedroom Victorian family home with off-street parking and an 81 ft garden, a stone’s throw from Wandsworth Common.
Set back from the road, behind electric gates and offering almost 4.000 sq ft of accommodation arranged over four floors, the house has been well-maintained by the current owners and retains a wealth of period features including decorative ceiling cornices, working fireplaces, stained glass windows and panelling.
Opening in to a spacious hallway with an original tessellated tiled floor, a grand wood panelled staircase rises up through the house to give access to the upper floors. To the left of the hall is an elegant double reception room with high ceilings, decorative cornices and centre roses and a pair of period fireplaces with flame effect gas fires. The rooms are divided by full height doors, allowing the rooms to be used independently of one another. The front reception room has a deep bay window, flooding the room with natural light whilst the rear reception room has a large picture window with stained glass detailing and French doors leading directly to the garden.
The heart of the home is the wonderful kitchen/dining room to the rear of the house. Glazed on three sides and with partly vaulted ceilings, the room is incredibly bright and airy and features a modern fitted kitchen, with a range cooker, butler’s sink and a large central island. There is ample room to sit, dine and entertain and full width bi-folding doors lead to the garden. There are also two useful offices on the ground floor together with a downstairs WC and access to a large cellar space.
Six generous double bedrooms are arranged over the two upper floors, including a bright and spacious principal suite on the first floor at the front of the house. There are two further bedrooms on the first floor (one is used as a dressing room with a range of fitted wardrobes) together with a family bathroom with a bath and separate shower. Three further double bedrooms can be found on the top floor, together with a further family bathroom and access to a substantial attic, providing generous storage.
Of particular note is the 81 ft rear garden. With direct access from the kitchen, there is a large wrap around York stone paved patio area, ideal for entertaining in the warmer summer months. Steps lead down to a substantial lawned area, surrounded by beds filled with a variety of mature flowers, plants and shrubs. A full-sized cricket net has also been installed to one side of the garden.
A large driveway at the front of the house provides off-street parking for several cars.
Located on Earlsfield Road close to the junction with Heathfield Road, the property is well located for the open spaces of Wandsworth Common. A great range of shops, restaurants and bars can be found on Northcote Road, Bellevue Village and in Earlsfield, all of which are within easy reach. Transport links can be found nearby at Wandsworth Town, Clapham Junction and Earlsfield stations, providing services to Victoria and Waterloo. There are a number of excellent state and private schools nearby, subject to catchment and entry each year.
