Property description

An enormously appealing family house with excellent entertaining and living space of 1,814 square feet including a rare and covetable cellar, currently used as a cosy media room/home gym.

Wonderfully high ceilings and big Victorian sash windows combine with well proportioned rooms to create a great sense of space and light, with a well planned loft conversion adding a large master bedroom and luxurious bath/shower room, in addition to the three really good double bedrooms on the first floor. Our clients have rather cleverly created a ‘three season garden’ by installing an electronically operated canopy over the terrace, with heaters fitted beneath; the garden has a particularly nice aspect as it backs onto a series of other gardens.

Algarve Road is an attractive street and these handsome Victorian houses are located conveniently close to the centre of Earlsfield, the mainline station and the wide range of cafes, restaurants and bars on Garratt Lane. There is a fast (12 minutes) service direct into Waterloo and good bus links. Wandsworth itself is expected to benefit enormously from the major changes associated with the planned regeneration of the old Ram Brewery. This has been designed to create a vibrant and buzzing high street and piazza with renewed public access to the River Wandle and will greatly enhance the recently refurbished “Southside” shopping centre. Finally there is plenty of green open space to be found nearby with Wandsworth Common, King George’s Park, Wimbledon Park and Wimbledon Common all within reach.

4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, double reception room, kitchen/breakfast room, garden, cellar.
