Lambeth Road, London

A magnificent and substantial C18th Grade II Listed Georgian town house with mature walled gardens, that has plenty of potential to become the family home of your dreams. No chain.

Overall Description - This is a handsome late C18th Grade II Listed Georgian town house, set over five floors in a prominent position, with views over the gardens to the Imperial War Museum directly opposite. The property retains many of its original period features such as sash windows, bowed wrought iron balconies to the first floor windows, original floorboards and period open-fireplaces. The property is in need of sympathetic internal modernisation but offers buyers either the chance to create a large character family home in a very central location, or to convert and possibly extend the property to create separate flats, as has been done with other such properties in the area (all subject to the usual consents). The property currently has five bedrooms, a bathroom, shower room, sitting room, dining room and kitchen although the fifth bedroom could be used as a family room or large study/home office if so desired. The back garden is a good size, walled for privacy and has a selection of mature shrubs and trees, so something of an oasis in the middle of the city. If you are looking for a large character family home that has the flexibility for you to put your own stamp on it, then this could be the one for you. This property is being sold with no chain and early viewing is strongly advised, so please book in for the Open House from 10am until 11am on Saturday 29th November.

Location - The property sits in a prominent position directly opposite the gardens for the Imperial War Museum, which the two principal receptions look down onto. It is easily accessible from local transport links being just a short walk from Lambeth North Underground Station, less that 10 minutes walk from Waterloo Overground Station and has regular bus services from just up the road. Notable schools in the local area include the Oasis Academy Primary School, St George's Catholic Primary School, and the Ark Globe Academy, with Westminster School just on the other side of the Thames. The house is ten minutes in a cab from Covent Garden and the West End and walking distance from the South Bank. All in all, the perfect location for growing families that want to live right at the heart of London's culture, arts and night-life.
