Ouseley Road, London, SW12

With grand proportions and balancing original period detailing such as high ceilings and ornate cornicing with more contemporary touches, the property is ideally suited for family living. Set back from the road and with a pretty front garden, a wide entrance hall opens into a fabulous double reception room with wooden floors, high ceilings with decorative cornices, an imposing fireplace with a flame effect gas fire and bespoke cabinetry in both rooms. To the rear of the house is a superb kitchen, dining and family room, which is flooded with natural light by two large roof lights. With large format tiles floors, the contemporary style kitchen features a range of wood veneer and white handleless units with stone composite work surfaces with plenty of storage together with a large central island and breakfast bar. There is ample room to sit, dine and entertain and the casual seating area to the rear opens directly on to the garden. A large utility room in the cellar completes the ground floor accommodation.

The principal bedroom is at the front of the house on the first floor, and it is here that you get a true sense of the width of the house. With three large sash windows, the room is bright and airy, and a wall of wardrobes open into a hidden en-suite bathroom with a free-standing bath and oversized shower with a full height glass screen. There is a further en-suite guest bedroom on this floor together with three further, double bedrooms, a family bathroom and shower room on the top floor with access to eaves storage.

Of particular note is the 66 ft west-facing garden. A large tiled patio area extends from the back of the house and is ideal for al-fresco entertaining in the warmer summer months. A step leads up to a large Easigrass lawned area surrounded by mature borders filled with a variety of mature plants, shrubs and flowers and a fully insulated garden studio with a kitchenette and WC sits against the far wall perfect for use as a gym or home office.
