Elsynge Road, SW18

This stunning five-bedroom house is on one of the most sought-after residential roads in the area, one of the Great Exhibition streets designed in 1851 to display the best of Victorian architecture. A handsome, semi-detached period townhouse measuring in excess of 2,600 sq ft, it has a great sense of grandeur and retains beautiful original features blended with striking contemporary design, plus a 70 ft south-facing garden.

Steps lead up from the front driveway with off-street parking to the elegant entrance hall on the raised ground floor. The impressive reception room occupies the back of this level and benefits from floor-to-ceiling windows which flood the room with natural light and overlook the private garden. Wooden floors and built-in cabinetry and shelving add to the bright, contemporary feel of the room. To the front of this level is a good-sized room with bay window, high ceilings and a feature fireplace, currently used as a study.

Stairs lead down to the lower ground floor and the expansive kitchen family room which measures over 30 ft in length. There is plenty of room for both a dining table and comfortable seating and the room is wonderfully bright thanks to the glazed sliding doors onto the garden, making it ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen itself has an excellent range of modern wood and white gloss wall and base units with fully integrated appliances, stone quartz worksurfaces and a large island. There is very good flow between the indoors and outdoors, with a terraced area ideal for al fresco eating and entertaining which leads onto a beautiful landscaped and tiered garden laid to lawn and surrounded by mature plants and trees. The view looking back to the house is stunning thanks to the incredible glazing on the raised and lower ground floors. To the front of the lower ground floor is a good-sized double bedroom which could be an ideal playroom, with built-in wardrobes, bay window and a separate shower room.

Four bedrooms of almost equal size are arranged over the first and second floors, three with built-in wardrobes and all benefitting from stunning and unique windows. A smart shower room is on the first floor and a spacious family bathroom can be found on the second.

Elsynge Road runs from Spencer Road to Marcilly Road parallel to St John’s Hill, just yards from the wide-open spaces of Wandsworth Common. Transport can be found at Clapham Junction Overground station, approximately a seven-minute walk away. There are plenty of shops, bars and restaurants within easy walking distance on St John’s Hill, Battersea Rise and Northcote Road, and a number of popular state and independent schools are within easy reach, subject to catchment and places each year.
