Blenkarne Road, SW11

Positioned on what is arguably the most sought-after street between the commons is this spectacular seven-bedroom family house. Semi-detached and occupying an end-of-terrace plot, the property measures approximately 4,117 sq ft and benefits from a basement conversion, a large garden of just under 40 ft and off-street parking. Given its position on the street, it is significantly wider than average and boasts tremendous natural light. Presented in excellent order, the house has been created with modern day living in mind, making it ideal for both family life and entertaining.

Set back within an elegant arched porch, the front door opens into the hallway which leads onto two smart reception rooms. The drawing room to the front has high ceilings with intricate cornicing, a feature fireplace flanked by bespoke cabinetry and shelving, wooden floors and a large bay window which floods the room with light. The reception room adjacent boasts another magnificent fireplace, cabinetry and shelving and glazed doors lead through to the kitchen, also accessed off the hallway.

The kitchen breakfast room occupies the full width of the back of the house and has been extended to create a wonderfully bright living space. The kitchen itself has an excellent range of white contemporary wall and base units with brushed stainless steel worksurfaces, fully integrated appliances and a large island. Wooden floors and an expansive glass roof add to the sense of space and there is ample room for both a dining table and comfortable seating. French doors open onto the beautifully landscaped, walled garden laid with a terrace and easi-grass and surrounded by raised borders with mature planting giving it a great sense of privacy, ideal for al fresco eating and entertaining. A smart electric gate allows for off-street parking to the rear of the garden.

The lower ground floor has been designed to the highest of standards to create perfect space for family life. A large cinema room with an exposed brick wall and a lightwell is to the front, and a bright gymnasium with a mirrored wall, a shower room and a large utility with plentiful cabinetry, butler’s sink and wooden worksurfaces complete the space.

The principal suite is set to the front of the first floor with the bedroom to the back of the arrangement overlooking the garden. Large sash windows, a striking feature fireplace and stunning, mirrored wardrobes add to the sense of space and style. The luxurious, marbled en suite has twin sinks, a freestanding bath, walk-in shower and additional wardrobes. Two further bedrooms, a family bathroom and a large airing cupboard complete the accommodation on this level. Stairs lead up to the second floor and four more bedrooms, the larger two with built-in wardrobes and pretty fireplaces.

The amenities of Northcote Road are within easy walking distance and transport can be found at Wandsworth Common or Clapham Junction Overland, with the Northern Line at Clapham South also within easy reach.
