Bolingbroke Grove, London, SW11

A rare opportunity to purchase a pretty family house with a south-west facing garden situated a stone’s throw from Wandsworth Common and close to Northcote Road.

This idyllic Victorian house is superbly located a stone’s throw from Wandsworth Common and is moments from Northcote Road and Battersea Rise. Measuring approximately 1,665 sq. ft, this family home is finished to an excellent standard throughout and has been very thoughtfully extended.

As you enter this lovely home, via the mature front garden, you are immediately struck by the feeling of space and light the house has to offer, which is a common theme throughout. This property exudes a contemporary feel with its open plan layout and wooden flooring throughout the ground floor. The generous double reception room features a bay window with plantation shutters, bespoke cabinetry and a working gas fireplace with a chic stone surround. To the rear of the house is the very bright and spacious kitchen/dining room which is perfect for daily family life and entertaining. The well-proportioned kitchen boasts an extensive range of fitted wall and base units and includes ample space for a large dining table and additional seating. There are multiple appliances, including an integrated Bosch double oven/microwave, Bosch fridge and a large Bosch freezer, five gas ring burner and a good sized wine fridge.

Through Crittal-style French doors you step out into the picture-perfect south-west facing garden measuring nearly 25ft in length. Laid with stone slabs to the front with enough space for dining al fresco and enjoying the afternoon sunshine which floods into the garden. Laid with artificial lawn in the centre, which gives a pop of colour, the garden is bordered by wooden bench seating. Behind the seating, there are bordering beds which feature numerous lavender plants and several mature olive trees. Completing the ground floor is the access to the cellar from the hallway.

On the first floor, and to the front, you find the principal bedroom suite which benefits from built in floor to ceiling wardrobes and plantation shutters. The luxurious en suite bathroom boasts a large walk-in shower and a large bath with stone surround. The double sinks sit within a modern shaker-style vanity unit with a large mirror above. To the rear of the first floor is a further double bedroom with built in wardrobes and views to the garden below. Adjacent is a thoughtfully designed shower room boasting a vanity unit with a stone top.

The top floor of the house comprises a large double bedroom with excellent proportions and again is tastefully decorated with ample wardrobe space. With dual aspect, this room has superb light with skylights to the front and Juliette doors overlooking the pretty leafy gardens to the back of the house. Next door is a further good-sized shower room with shelving and cupboards and a walk-in stone tiled shower. Planning permission has been granted for a rear extension over the existing two-storey rear addition to add further accommodation.
