Property description
Beautifully presented, this elegant garden flat is perfectly formed and brimming with charm. Cleverly designed to maximise space and put together with flair, it offers two decent bedrooms and a very attractive living space that lends itself well to entertaining. As well as its own terrace which provides the perfect al-fresco dining space, the flat has access to an enormous and quite sublime communal garden.
The flat has large windows which bring in plenty of natural light and the atmosphere is enhanced by the pale colours used throughout; good quality oak flooring, a smart kitchen with granite worktops and a contemporary shower room will make this a very appealing proposition for buyers for whom DIY is not their favourite weekend past-time!
Prestigious Elsynge Road was designed as part of The Great Exhibition of 1851 by a number of architects of the era who used it as a showcase for their designs. It therefore offers a fascinating and eclectic collection of styles, highly regarded to this day and now forms part of a conservation area. It is part of a fashionable and vibrant area with bustling St. Johns Hill running through the centre providing an almost villagey atmosphere with its array of cafes, bars, restaurants and shops. Just minutes away from the northern edge of Wandsworth Common, it is positioned most conveniently within easy reach of the excellent transport links provided by Clapham Junction station giving access to a wide range of destinations. There are also numerous buses running along St. John's Hill for shorter journeys.
