Property description
This beautifully presented end-of-terrace family house offers 1,746 square feet of internal space, set in a lovely gated mews development with a delightful, landscaped garden at its centre. Re-modelled and extended by the present owners to create a stylish, contemporary interior, the centrepiece of the house is a stunning 25 x 24 living/dining room with open-plan, high-spec sleek designer kitchen and wide sliding doors opening out onto a beautiful south-east facing garden. This room is flooded with natural light, and from here, a staircase concealed in part, by a set of cupboards and bookshelves with a glass balustrade above leads up to an airy mezzanine. This pretty room, along with a smaller sitting room/snug at the front of the house, adds flexibility as the space can be tailored to whatever family life demands at different stages; a cosy TV room, study area, occasional bedroom can all be accommodated. An enormously practical laundry/store room and downstairs cloakroom fulfil the practical requirements and there is a small garage to the front.
Upstairs, there is a charming, lofty master bedroom on the top floor, with a deep, double pitched gable at the front and a smart shower room; the first floor is currently arranged to provide two good double bedrooms and a dressing room or single bedroom, along with a bathroom and en suite shower room.
Built in the late 1990s by Laing Homes on the site of the old Victoria Joinery, the private cul-de-sac retains the original cobblestones and features a pretty gazebo in the communal garden. Accessed from Magdalen Road via electric gates and with such a lovely big garden at its centre, Victoria Mews offers a degree of tranquillity and sense of space rarely found in such a central location, positioned just a few minutes away from Earlsfield mainline station with its fast (12 minutes) link direct into Waterloo and the wide range of local restaurants, bars and cafes both on Garratt Lane and further down in Wandsworth itself. With lots of green open space to be found up the hill on Wandsworth Common and in the numerous local parks, its easy to understand the appeal of this super area.
