Vardens Road, SW11

This spectacular and handsome, five/six-bedroom semi-detached family house is positioned on a quiet residential street close to St John’s Hill. Arranged over four floors and measuring approximately 2,700 sq ft, the property boasts excellent living space and retains many of its original features, plus an 84 ft south-west-facing garden. In addition, the lower ground floor could be used as a self-contained annexe with its own front door into the side access.

Set back from the road behind a smart front garden, steps lead up to the grand front door. The wide hallway boasts beautiful tiled floors and striking stained glass. This leads into the elegant double reception room which benefits from high ceilings with intricate cornicing, a feature fireplace, wooden floors which run throughout and the large bay window which floods the room with light. Wooden partition doors offer excellent flexibility to the space and the back of the room benefits from excellent bespoke cabinetry. Glazed folding doors open onto the incredibly bright and spacious kitchen breakfast room, also accessed from the hallway beyond a downstairs cloakroom. The kitchen itself has a good range of modern Shaker-style wall and base units with integrated appliances. There is plenty of room for a dining table and the room is wonderfully bright thanks to its glazed roof and windows with blue stained glass which run across the full width of the back of the house. A doorway leads out onto a balcony which offers far-reaching garden views and a spiral external staircase which leads down onto the patio below.

Stairs from the hallway lead down into the lower ground floor, also accessed via its own front door, making it ideal for use as a self-contained annexe. A double bedroom is to the front with built-in wardrobes and the bay window. The spacious reception room is to the rear with French doors which open directly onto the garden. A well-appointed second kitchen is adjacent and a shower room and separate wc complete the accommodation on this level.

The stunning south-west-facing garden is laid with a large terrace and grass and surrounded by mature plantings, making it ideal for al fresco eating and entertaining during the warmer months. At 84ft it is exceptionally long for this part of town and features an excellent garden studio which offers additional living space, ideal as a home office, gym or play space.

Four bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floors of the property. The two double bedrooms on the first floor both benefit from built-in wardrobes and the room to the front has the large bay window. A study space is adjacent, also accessed off the landing. The bedroom to the rear opens onto a small balcony which overlooks the garden. A family bathroom with freestanding bath and walk-in shower completes the accommodation on this level. Two further good-sized bedrooms are found on the second floor.
