Gorst Road, SW11

This magnificent, wider-than-average, five-bedroom, semi-detached Victorian house is set on one of the most sought-after and quiet roads just off Wandsworth Common. Completely renovated and refurbished by the current owners to the highest standards, the property measures approximately 3,220 sq ft arranged over four floors. It boasts excellent proportions in all the principal rooms and offers unique and striking living and entertaining space on the ground and natural lower ground floors.

Set back from the street behind a smart wall and tessellated tiled path, the front door opens into a wide hallway. To the front is an elegant reception room with high ceilings with intricate cornicing, panelling, a feature fireplace, wooden flooring which runs throughout, and a large bay window which floods the room with light. To the rear, beyond the striking central staircase, is a second reception room, again with high ceilings, cornicing and panelling, a feature fireplace and French doors which open onto a fantastic roof terrace, perfect for al fresco drinks in the warmer months. Off to the rear of this reception area is a study overlooking the garden.

Stairs lead down to the lower ground floor and the expansive kitchen family room. There is a spacious dining and sitting area, with woodburner and plentiful bespoke cabinetry. The room is wonderfully bright thanks to the bi-fold doors which run across the full width of the back of the property, opening onto the garden. The kitchen itself has a stunning range of base units and shelving with fully integrated appliances, a large island breakfast bar and stunning marble worksurfaces with a waterfall finish on the island. Off to the side is an excellent utility room with bespoke cabinetry. To the front of this level is another reception room, currently used as a TV room, with floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors in a bay which open onto a large lightwell.

There is access to this level of the property down steps from the front of the house, and excellent storage has been designed in the hallway. The same external steps lead through to side access to the garden.

The landscaped, walled garden is a striking feature of the property. Designed on two levels, it is surrounded by beautiful, mature planting which gives it a great sense of privacy and makes it perfect for eating and entertaining in the warmer months. There is a seamless flow from the kitchen and a wonderful connection between the indoors and outdoors space.

Two large double bedrooms are arranged on the first floor. The principal suite is to the back, overlooking the garden. Stunning bespoke wardrobes line one wall and an opening leads through to the luxurious and spacious en suite bathroom with twin sinks, a freestanding bath and walk-in shower. The double to the front benefits from the bay window, built-in wardrobes and a feature fireplace, and a shower room is adjacent. Stairs lead up to the second floor where there are three further double bedrooms and a shower room.

Gorst Road is a quiet residential street which runs off Bolingbroke Grove and the wide-open spaces of Wandsworth Common. The amenities of Northcote Road are just a five-minute walk away. Transport can be found at either Wandsworth Common or Clapham Junction Overground and Clapham South Underground (Northern Line). There are a number of popular independent and state schools, within easy reach, subject to catchment and places each year.
