This wider than average, five-bedroom Victorian family home has been completely renovated by the current owners to create a home ideal for modern day living. With approximately 2,147 sq ft of light-filled living space arranged over three floors, the property is set on a quiet, tree-lined street close to Wandsworth Common.
Fully extended, the property retains many of its original features balanced with contemporary design. The elegant reception room benefits from high ceilings with intricate cornicing, a feature fireplace with wood-burning stove, bespoke cabinetry and shelving and the large bay window which floods the room with light. Glazed, sliding doors in the middle of the space offer great flexibility and the back of the room leads through to the kitchen breakfast room, also accessed off the hallway. Bright and spacious with a part glazed roof and a striking picture window onto the garden, the room is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The modern, Shaker-style kitchen has an excellent range of wall and base units with fully integrated appliances including two ovens and a butler’s sink, with stone quartz worksurfaces and a large island/breakfast bar. There is plenty of space for a dining table and the floor-to-ceiling glazed doors open onto the pretty garden. Surrounded by attractive fencing and laid with a terrace and artificial grass, it has a built-in banquette and raised flowerbeds, making it the ideal spot for al fresco eating and entertaining in the warmer months. A downstairs wc completes the accommodation on the ground floor and the cellar has been converted to provide a useful utility room as well as storage space.
Five bedrooms are arranged over the upper floors, including a notable principal bedroom with the large bay window, fitted wardrobes and an open aspect on to Herndon Road. A walk-through wardrobe leads in to the en suite bathroom with twin sinks, freestanding bath and separate shower. The second bedroom on this level overlooks the gardens and is adjacent to a family bathroom.
Stairs lead up to the second floor and three further bedrooms, two with en suite shower rooms and the third with a Juliet balcony with lovely rooftop views, perfect for use as a home office or nursery.
Herndon Road is a quiet residential street close to the open spaces of Wandsworth Common. The varied amenities of Wandsworth are close at hand including the Southside Shopping Centre together with more boutique shops, bars and restaurants on East Hill and Old York Road. The nearest station is Wandsworth Town which provides quick and convenient access to central London via Clapham Junction and Waterloo. The area is renowned for its choice of popular state and private schools (subject to catchment and entrance each year).
