Property description

An exceptional opportunity to purchase a substantial Edwardian family house, not yet re-modelled and therefore with great appeal and character, as well as enormous scope for a purchaser to update and perhaps extend entirely to their own taste. Notable for its fantastic reception space, lovely big bedrooms, high ceilings and huge windows, along with a wonderful 72’ south-west facing garden and wide frontage with off street parking.

Lyford Road is a highly regarded, tree-lined street, part of the “Wandsworth Common Conservation Area” and adjacent to the Magdalen Estate, both to the west of Wandsworth Common. Excellent transport links area available at Wandsworth Common (direct service to Victoria) and Earlsfield (direct service to Waterloo) mainline stations with a wide range of boutiques, cafes and restaurants available on Bellevue Road and in nearby Earlsfield. The wide open green space of Wandsworth Common itself is of course a huge draw and an invaluable resource for families.
