Bennerley Road, SW11

This spectacular, seven-bedroom, five-storey Victorian family house is set on a sought-after residential street just off the Northcote Road. This elegant home has been fully renovated by the current owners, successfully uniting modern family living with traditional original features. Designed by Foster + Partners trained architects from Minale & Mann, it has been finished to the highest of standards and boasts a south-facing garden and a plunge pool in the basement conversion.

The elegant double reception room to the front of the house benefits from high ceilings with cornicing, a marble fireplace, beautiful panelling, oak engineered wooden flooring and the large bay window which floods the room with light.

Accessed through double doors off the hallway, the room has an incredible flow through to the back of the house over a void down to the lower ground floor. The impressive and light-filled kitchen breakfast room beyond benefits from striking glazing and was designed by The Desired House. It has an exceptional range of cabinetry with integrated high-quality appliances – Gaggenau ovens, Bora hob, Miele dishwasher and Fisher & Paykel fridge freezer - and beautiful stone quartz splashback and worksurfaces, which wraparound the large island and breakfast bar. Sliding doors beside the kitchen area open onto a Juliet balcony which looks down onto the courtyard on the lower ground level. A dining area with a built-in banquette sits beneath the fully glazed roof and bi-fold doors open onto the pretty walled garden. This acts as an excellent extension of the indoor living space and brings the outdoors in, ideal for al fresco eating and entertaining in the warmer months.

Stairs from both the hallway and garden lead down to the lower ground floor which comprises a spacious family room with stunning built-in cabinetry and shelving and bi-fold doors onto the garden, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and French doors which open into a lightwell to the front, a utility room and a downstairs wc. The striking bathroom which has a double-height ceiling features a spa-style mosaic plunge pool and large walk-in shower.

Three good-sized bedrooms are arranged over the first floor, all with beautiful wooden flooring. The largest to the front boasts elegant panelling, twin sash windows and a feature fireplace. The bedroom adjacent has bespoke built-in wardrobes and overlooks the garden. Both the bedroom to the rear and the family bathroom next door have wonderfully wide windows which fill the rooms with natural light.

The principal bedroom is on the second floor with twin sash windows, bespoke cabinetry and an en suite bathroom with freestanding bath, separate shower and twin sinks. The bedroom to the back opens onto a Juliet balcony with lovely garden views. Stairs lead up to the top floor where the final double bedroom can be found with Juliet balcony and an en suite shower room.

The light fittings throughout are Buster & Punch and all the bespoke carpentry is by C Bros Joinery.

This stunning property is on Bennerley Road within a stone’s throw of Northcote Road with all its excellent independent shops, bars and restaurants. The wide-open spaces of Wandsworth Common are literally at the end of the street, as are a number of popular state and independent schools, subject to catchment and places each year. Very good transport links can be found at Clapham Junction Overground, approximately a ten-minute walk away.
