Bowood Road, London, SW11

At the front of the property, the elegant reception room benefits from high ceilings with decorative detailing, warm timber floorboards and a large bay window dressed with plantation shutters which floods the room with light. There is ample space for both a comfortable seating area and a dining table, creating the perfect blend for everyday modern living, while glazed doors and a shelved alcove add to the period charm.

The kitchen has an excellent range of cream shaker-style wall and base units, dark granite worksurfaces and sage-green metro tiling, with a rustic timber mantel framing the gas hob and oven. The original floorboards continue through from the reception room and a glazed door at the far end brings in further light. Stairs lead down to the cellar, which runs beneath the flat and provides excellent storage with lighting and fitted shelving.

The principal bedroom is positioned at the rear of the flat and is a wonderfully calm space, bathed in light from two skylights and floor-to-ceiling sliding doors which open directly onto the garden. It benefits from a wall of built-in wardrobes and a stylish en suite shower room with travertine-style tiling and a walk-in shower. The second double bedroom is served by a family bathroom.

The garden to the rear is fully fenced and laid with easi-grass, with a paved terrace and built-in timber bench seating, offering the ideal place for al fresco dining and entertaining in the warmer months. There is potential to extend into the rear side alley, subject to the necessary consents.

Bowood Road is a popular residential street which runs between Wakehurst Road and Clapham Common West Side, moments from the wide-open spaces of Clapham Common. The shops, cafés and restaurants of Northcote Road are within easy walking distance, and excellent transport links can be found at Clapham Junction mainline station and Clapham South Underground (Northern Line), both within a 15-minute walk. A number of highly regarded state and independent schools are also within easy reach, subject to catchment and places each year.
