Elegant five bedroom home close to Wandsworth Common.

Description

Set on a quiet residential street just moments from the open green spaces of Wandsworth Common, this stunning five-bedroom period home offers over 2,000 sq ft of thoughtfully arranged accommodation, ideal for family living. Rich in original features and natural light, the property blends timeless Victorian charm with modern practicalities across three spacious floors.

The ground floor makes an immediate impression with its tessellated tiled hallway and original stained-glass window detailing, offering a warm and characterful welcome. To the front, a generous double reception room features a wide bay window, ornate cornicing, a working fireplace, and elegant bespoke cabinetry. This inviting space flows seamlessly into the heart of the home: an elegantly presented kitchen and dining area.

Designed with family life in mind, the kitchen offers excellent storage and a range of integrated appliances, all finished in contemporary tones. Overhead, three large skylights allow daylight to pour in, while full-width French doors open onto a private, South-facing decked garden, ideal for family entertainment and enjoying day-long sunshine.

Upstairs on the first floor are three generous double bedrooms, each well appointed, with good built-in storage. The principal bedroom sits to the front and enjoys lovely natural light from a wide bay window. A large family bathroom serves this floor, complete with a bath, walk-in shower, and contemporary finishes.

The second floor is ideal for older children or guests, offering two further double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes and additional eaves storage. Two well-appointed shower rooms—one en suite, the other across the landing—add welcome flexibility for busy households.

On the lower ground floor, a dedicated utility room keeps laundry and storage tucked away from the main living areas, making day-to-day life that bit easier.

Located within easy reach of Wandsworth Common, excellent schools, local shops and transport links, this is a rare opportunity to secure a truly special family home in a highly sought-after pocket of SW18.
