Barmouth Road, SW18

A truly stunning contemporary house hidden behind an elegant Victorian façade on this popular residential street a stone’s throw from Wandsworth Common.



Offering over 2,000 sq ft of immaculate accommodation with a lovely sense of lateral space not normally associated with a house of this type, the house was conceived by the current owners with the help of acclaimed architect Barbara Weiss, just over 10 years ago and looks as fresh today as it did when it was built.

With clean lines and a strikingly contemporary design, a dramatic light shaft rises up through the house from the hallway to the top floor, flooding the house with natural light on every floor.

There is an intimate formal reception room at the front of the house on the ground floor with high ceilings, ornate ceiling cornicing, a flame effect gas fire and two large sash windows at the front, together with high-level windows on the rear wall on to the staircase. The heart of the home is the expansive, light-filled kitchen/dining room at the rear of the house with large format tiled floors, a smear contemporary style kitchen with a range of sleek handle-less units in matte white and wood veneers with white marble and polished black granite work surfaces, integrated appliances and a large central island. Full height slim frame sliding doors lead seamlessly to the garden, creating a truly inside/outside space. A useful utility room sits to the rear of the kitchen and a downstairs cloakroom and access to a large cellar completes the ground floor accommodation.

Four generous bedrooms are arranged over the top two floors, including a superb principal suite at the rear of the house on the first floor filled with natural light flooding in through the large Crittal style picture window. There is an abundance of fitted storage running along one wall together with an en-suite shower room with an over-sized shower cubicle with a full height glass screen, twin basins and a separate WC. There is a further large double bedroom at the front of the house, with integrated desk space, fitted storage and an en-suite bathroom. Two further double bedrooms and a shower room can be found on the second floor together with access to eaves storage.

The low maintenance south-west facing garden is York stone paved with raised planters filled with a variety of mature plants, shrubs and flowers. There is an outdoor fireplace and three large pleached bay trees growing on the back wall afford the garden a high degree of privacy, creating a wonderful environment in which to relax in the warmer summer months.

Barmouth Road is a pretty tree-lined street which runs from Westover Road to Killarney Road and is closed to traffic at the junction with Allfarthing Lane. The amenities of Wandsworth Town and St John’s Hill are a short distance away, as are the open spaces of Wandsworth Common. Transport can be found at Clapham Junction, Earlsfield and Wandsworth Town, all within easy reach and providing direct links to central London via Waterloo and Victoria. There are also a number of popular schools nearby, subject to catchment and entrance each year.
