We are delighted to offer a superb semi-detached Victorian house positioned on one of the most desired residential roads between the Commons. Measuring 2,728 sq. ft. in total, this rare family home has been thoughtfully extended to provide excellent accommodation and boasts a lovely wider than average garden.

As you enter the property you immediately get a sense of the generous proportions of this family home which was interior designed by Marie-Sophie Roussell, in partnership with Studio McW. Set off the wide hallway, you enter the magnificent double reception room through double doors which amplifies the house’s width and features Dinesen wooden flooring throughout. This generous double reception space boasts an attractive fireplace with marble surround, elegant cornicing, bespoke cabinetry and a wide bay window which brings in an abundance of natural light.

To the rear of the ground floor is the stunning and huge kitchen/dining room which has plenty of space for a large dining table which in turn leads into a delightful seating area positioned before the garden doors. The kitchen itself, which was done by Design Space London is truly elegant and features wet underfloor heating, high quality modern wall and base units, granite worktops and a large central island with pendant lighting overhead. This kitchen is a chef’s delight with its double Miele oven, and various fully integrated appliances including a Quooker tap, Siemens dishwasher and integrated fridge freezer. Completing the ground floor is the guest cloakroom which is accessed off the kitchen. From the hallway itself, you can access the lower ground floor which houses a very large utility room incorporating a sink and washing machine, water softener and tumble dryer. There is also a very large storage section which is particularly useful for luggage and bulkier items.

Through low profile aluminium doors, and from two points in the kitchen, you step out into the lovely and wide garden which is predominantly laid with artificial grass making it ideal for children to play year round. This bright outdoor space benefits from sun for much of the day owing to its orientation and has plenty of room for al fresco dining as well as BBQs, table tennis tables and the like. An important feature the house is the covered side passageway which is accessed from the front of the house allowing for storing garden equipment, golf clubs as well as a plethora of bicycles should one wish.

The principal bedroom suite is situated to the front of the house on the first floor and boasts high ceilings and a large bay window with remote control plantation shutters. This tranquil bedroom space is accessed through an extensive dressing room with bespoke cabinetry and dressing table. The spacious and very luxurious en suite bathroom, with marble flooring, boasts a free-standing roll-top bath, twin floating sinks set into a vanity unit and an enormous walk-in shower.

There are four further bedrooms and three bathrooms throughout the remainder of this superb family home. On the rear first floor the double bedroom has pleasant views over the garden and benefits from a good-sized en suite shower room. On the second-floor rear mezzanine you find a further double bedroom with partially vaulted ceilings which gives the feeling of great ceiling height. On the very top floor you find another large double bedroom which is ideal as a guest room or nanny accommodation as it features another en suite bathroom. Finally, and adjacent, is the fifth smaller double which is currently used as an all-important home office space (the house has cat 6 ethernet cabling throughout). Outside the house benefits from an electric car pod car charger.

Gorst Road is a quiet residential street that runs from Bolingbroke Grove to join Dents Road. Importantly, Gorst Road is a no-through road which makes it unique to the area and carries very little traffic as a result. Wandsworth Common is seconds away with all its amenities, such as sports pitches, tennis courts, playgrounds, ponds and the well-trodden Skylark Café. The house also offers easy access to the amenities of Northcote Road and Bellevue Road with their vast array of restaurants, shops, cafés and bars, including the Michelin starred Chez Bruce.

There are excellent transport links including Clapham South underground station, Clapham Junction and Wandsworth Common mainline stations, which all provide fast access into the West End and the City of London. At Clapham Junction itself, there is a huge variety of bus routes going into Central London and beyond.

The immediate area provides an excellent variety of well-established independent and state schools, with both Honeywell School and Broomwood Prep (formerly Northcote Lodge) being a short walk from the house. Thomas’s Clapham, Finton House, Bolingbroke Academy and Hornsby House are also close by.
