Melody Road, London, SW18

A characterful five bedroom family home on a popular road.

Description

Set on the ever-popular Melody Road, this beautifully arranged five-bedroom family home spans three spacious floors and offers a unique, characterful layout with excellent entertaining space and a private garden.

The ground floor welcomes you into a large, elegant reception room, framed by a wide bay window that floods the space with natural light. Period features abound, including wooden flooring, twin fireplaces with handsome mantelpieces, and bespoke alcove shelving. To the rear, there’s ample room for formal dining, with French doors opening to a charming patio — a perfect spot for al fresco meals or quiet morning coffee.

Double doors lead into a versatile family room, ideal as a playroom, study, or secondary sitting room, providing an intimate retreat away from the main reception and kitchen.

The heart of the home lies in the generous kitchen, designed in a classic country style with tiled flooring, an Aga, and a central island offering plenty of prep and storage space. Integrated appliances and built-in banquette seating make the space both practical and sociable, while doors open directly onto the garden. The garden itself is a delight, with mature planting, paved seating areas, and a large shed to the rear.

The first floor hosts three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a bright second bedroom with a bay window and extensive built-in storage. All bedrooms on this level are served by a smartly presented family bathroom.

The principal suite occupies the upper floor, a peaceful retreat with excellent storage, a four-piece en suite bathroom, and access to a private balcony with views over Melody Road. A fifth bedroom and additional storage complete this floor.
