Lyford Road, London, SW18

This spectacular seven bedroom, semi-detached, period property has an abundance of cleverly designed entertaining space and generous family accommodation.

Approached via a pretty private drive with off street parking, the house is well set back from the road. The entrance opens into a generous hallway with a sweeping staircase to the left and glass pocket doors opening on to the formal bay-fronted drawing room to the front. The room features wooden parquet floor and a feature fireplace. Another set of pocket doors open on to a more informal reception space towards the back of the sensational kitchen/family room.

Hand built to a high specification, this kitchen has a large island with seating, a wonderful professional chef standard gas cooker with a separate induction hob, plenty of worktop space, two sinks and a dining area with built-in seating. The room is filled with light from the four large skylights, and bi-fold doors allow access to the 111ft Garden. The kitchen also has hidden SONOS controlled speakers.

Also on the ground floor is a separate WC, coat cupboard and clever bench seating. Stairs lead down to the impressive lower ground floor, and to the front is a gym/bedroom, a guest bedroom with en suite bathroom, a study/bedroom with folding bed, a sauna, a steam room and an amazing temperature-controlled wine cellar. Furthermore, there is a utility room, plenty of built-in storage, and a very impressive media room with access out to the garden. At the back of the garden is a building comprising two floors, offering additional open-plan kitchen/reception room on the top floor and plenty of entertaining space on the ground floor.

The principal bedroom suite covers the entirety of the first floor boasting a seating area overlooking the lawn garden and a wonderful en suite bathroom with a shower room and luxury dressing area. The principal bedroom also has air conditioning.

On the top floor are three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom leading off from the bright landing with Velux windows.

To the front of the house is a carriage driveway with gates and a security pedestrian gate with two off street car parking spaces. There is also a separate side entrance to the property for muddy shoes and dogs.

Lyford Road is one of the most sought after roads in the area, located on the doorstep of Wandsworth Common and close to the shops and restaurants of Bellevue Road. There are good transport links both by bus on Trinity Road and train from Wandsworth Common Station into the City and the West end. The area is extremely well served by both private and state schools and falls within the Beatrix Potter catchment area.

There are also excellent local sporting amenities for children including Battersea Ironsides junior rugby, and The Spencer cricket and Magdalen Park tennis clubs.
