Wakehurst Road, London, SW11

A beautifully presented four-bedroom period family home with a full basement conversion, located just moments from the vibrant Northcote Road with its array of shops, restaurants, and bars.

The house is approached via a charming front garden with attractive mosaic tiles leading to the main entrance. Upon entering, a welcoming hallway with wooden flooring offers a clear line of sight through to the kitchen at the rear, passing a convenient ground-floor guest cloakroom.

To the right, a stunning double reception room features high ceilings, a bay window with plantation shutters, parquet flooring, and a fireplace with a working cast iron wood burner. Custom shelving with integrated LED lighting and storage cabinetry below provides both style and storage.

To the rear of the house is the spacious kitchen/dining area which is centred around a large waterfall island with granite work surface, an integrated Bora induction hob with a built-in extractor, plenty of storage and a Buster + Punch pendant light above with five filament bulbs creating a warm ambience to the room. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed, again with ample storage and high-end appliances including two integrated Neff ovens, an integrated Neff dishwasher, an American-style stainless steel fridge-freezer, and a Grohe boiling/cold water tap. A concealed drinks cabinet and a gas combination boiler are stylishly housed within cabinetry to blend it into the kitchen. An internal lightwell has also been thoughtfully added to bring fresh air and light into the lower ground floor play area below.

Full height sliding glass doors lead to a mature, south-east facing garden. The outdoor space features an initial patio area and built-in seating at the rear which is ideal for al fresco dining during the warmer months.

The fully converted lower ground floor is exceptionally well laid out. To the right of the stairs is a versatile cinema room which also serves as a gym and golf simulator. Adjacent to this, there is a home office area enclosed with Crittall-style windows providing a quiet workspace. There is a separate utility room with sink, washing machine, dryer, integrated fridge freezer and storage, as well as a shower room with mosaic floor tiles. To the rear, a large children’s playroom with Crittall double doors and full-height built-in storage offers a flexible and quiet area. This floor benefits from excellent ceiling height, parquet flooring throughout, and a large skylight that brings in natural light into the internal space.

The first floor hosts a beautiful and spacious principal bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and generous en suite bathroom featuring his-and-hers sinks, a separate shower enclosure, and marble flooring. A pretty second double bedroom with an en suite shower room is to the rear of this floor overlooking the garden.

The top floor comprises two further double bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom, the other with an en suite shower room along with a convenient further single room to the front which can be used as a study or nursery.

This exceptional home is presented in immaculate condition with wooden sash double-glazed windows installed, Buster & Punch lighting & fixtures, and Lutron mood lighting throughout.
