Wakehurst Road, London, SW11

An immaculately presented and wider than average four double bedroom family house situated on this highly sought-after road between the commons with a 40ft south facing garden.

This impressive house is approached via an immaculate front garden with attractive mosaic tiles leading to the main entrance. Upon entering you immediately feel the additional width this elegant family home has to offer and this is a theme that runs throughout. To your right, you enter the formal reception room which has very generous proportions and natural wood flooring. With high ceilings, this reception space is particularly bright owing to the wide bay window and boasts a beautiful Victorian fireplace and Sonos compatible ceiling speakers.

To the rear of the house you find the very large kitchen/family room which spans the entire width of the house and benefits from underfloor heating controlled by the houses’ Nest system. The kitchen itself forms the rear section of this substantial space and benefits from exceptionally high ceilings. Designed and built by Blakes London, the kitchen has a large array of wall and base units with plenty of integrated Miele appliances and unusually both an electric and gas-powered hob. A particularly luxurious feature is the Arabescato Corchia marble that covers the worktops. This kitchen is perfect for both family life and entertaining and has enough space for a seating area as well as a large dining table.

Through floor to ceiling low-profile framed sliding doors, you step into the exceptional and larger than average south facing garden. There is a patio area laid with stone tiles and an outside kitchen with built in barbeque and hob. Beyond is the main garden area which is laid with natural grass and is bordered by well-maintained beds with mature trees, plants and shrubs. There is shed at the very end of the garden which can be used to house gardening equipment, children’s toys and bicycles. Completing the ground floor is the guest cloakroom and access to the cellar which houses the washer/dryer and provides essential additional storage.

The first floor, to the front, hosts a beautiful and spacious principal bedroom suite with a generous dressing room, benefiting from an abundance of storage with extensive built in wardrobes. The large and luxurious en suite bathroom is simply breathtaking in both design and finish. With marble tiles throughout, this haven features a wide bay window under which is a free-standing roll top bathtub. With the vanity unit from Porter and the sanitaryware all from Burlington you can tell that no expense has been spared. Completing this bathroom is the huge walk-in shower featuring floor to ceiling marble tiles.

This family home comprises three further double bedrooms and two bathrooms. To the rear of the first floor is a good-sized double bedroom with views over the garden below. Adjacent is a bathroom with a large walk-in shower. On the second floor to the rear is a very generous double bedroom with built in wardrobes and air conditioning. On the top floor is the fourth large double bedroom situated to the front of the property (also with air conditioning) and is next to the second family bathroom with bathtub, shower overhead and a free-standing Victorian-style sink.
