Clapham Common West Side, London, SW4

The smart front door opens into a large entrance hall from which the impressive central staircase rises through the house. To the right, double doors open onto the spacious reception room which benefits from high ceilings with intricate cornicing, a magnificent feature fireplace flanked by cabinetry and shelving and the striking bay window which floods the room with natural light. There is ample space for both comfortable seating and a dining table making the space ideal for family life as well as entertaining. To the other side of the hallway is the expansive kitchen family room which measures 34 ft in length. Again, there is plenty of room to configure the living area in many ways with space for a dining table, games area and relaxed seating. The room is wonderfully bright thanks to floor-to-ceiling sliding doors which run across the full width of the back of the property and striking skylights. The kitchen has an excellent range of sleek, handleless wall and base units with fully integrated appliances, stone quartz worksurfaces and a large island/breakfast bar. The sliding doors lead out to the walled garden which is laid with easi-grass and terrace, the ideal spot for al fresco eating and entertaining in the warmer months. A sliding side access gate is ideal for bikes, muddy boots and dogs, and offers the opportunity for off-street parking. A downstairs cloakroom completes the accommodation on the ground floor.

Stairs lead down to the lower ground floor and a fantastic cinema room with the bay to the front and plenty of space for comfortable seating. A useful utility space and storage room are also on this level.

Four bedrooms are to be found on the first floor, all arranged around the grand central landing. The largest room is to the front with high ceilings, built-in wardrobes, the large bay window and an en suite shower room. Two bedrooms at the back overlook the gardens, one with an en suite shower room and one with good built-in wardrobes. The smaller room has excellent wardrobe space and could be used as a home office. Across the landing is a family bathroom.

Stairs lead up to the second floor and two further double bedrooms, almost equal in size, and another family bathroom. Access to substantial eaves provides additional storage space.
