Property description

An impressive and impeccably presented semi-detached Victorian property of 2,290 square feet, renovated to a high standard and meticulously planned to create an appealing and practical family home with plenty of entertaining space. With a south-west facing garden as well as a stunning, extended kitchen/dining room – interlinked seamlessly by full height bi-fold doors – this house really does tick all the boxes.

There is an elegant double reception room, a particularly well equipped and beautifully designed ‘Shaker’ style kitchen and an extremely useful utility/boot room with a side door to the garden. The upper floors are equally well proportioned and thoughtfully planned. The lovely master bedroom has its own walk through dressing area and spacious en suite bath/shower room with two sash windows; there are four further bedrooms, plus a study/home office on the top floor, laundry facilities on both upper floors, and extremely smart, contemporary bathrooms. The house has large sash windows and a wonderfully light atmosphere, enhanced by the pale décor and ‘Plantation’ shutters.

Swanage Road is a lovely, leafy street, part of a highly regarded area between Westover Road and Allfarthing Lane off the north western side of Wandsworth Common. The edge of the common is barely a few minutes away as is the Barmouth Kitchen, a charming little local café. The area is deservedly popular for its excellent amenities and transport links; the mainline offers a fast service direct into Waterloo from either Earlsfield or Wandsworth Town stations and a wide array of restaurants, bars, cafes and shops are to be found on fashionable Old York Road as well as on Garratt Lane. The common itself of course offers wide open space as well as opportunities for sport and activities including good tennis courts.
