Sheen Lane, London, SW14

Beautifully refurbished by the current owners to a very high standard, this is one of those houses that just works—full of natural light, great proportions throughout, and designed with family living in mind.

You’ve got off-street parking to the front, and at the back something a bit special—a gate from the garden opens directly onto the Home Guard grounds, where residents have access to a private indoor swimming pool. The pool is part of a long-standing private members’ setup, run in conjunction with a well-regarded local swim operator—offering a proper indoor pool used for both everyday swimming and lessons. It’s a rare setup locally and adds a genuine day-to-day lifestyle benefit rather than just a feature.

The house itself blends period character with a really well thought-through modern finish. Original floor tiles in the hallway, a lovely front reception with feature lighting and a new gas fire, and then at the rear it completely opens up.

The kitchen/living space is the real hub—sunken seating area with 11-foot ceilings, underfloor heating, and large rear doors that pull you straight out into the garden. A beautifully designed curved island sits at the centre, with loads of storage, integrated appliances, Quooker tap, and a dedicated bar/coffee station. It’s been properly designed for day-to-day living as much as entertaining.

Upstairs, the principal suite feels like its own space—great storage, green views to the rear, and a high-spec bathroom with double shower, large bath, underfloor heating, and integrated speakers. There’s also a further double bedroom with its own ensuite shower room, along with a single bedroom/study—ideal as a nursery, home office, or guest space.

There’s a separate children’s floor (soundproofed), again with built-in storage and a generous family bathroom, plus a proper upstairs laundry room with chute—one of those details that just makes life easier.

Outside, the garden is mature and well established with apple and pear trees, a decked seating area, and that direct rear gate leading straight onto the Home Guard grounds and indoor pool—a rare setup locally and something that genuinely enhances day-to-day living.

You’ve also got hot and cold outdoor taps, power, and a real sense of privacy.

Other practical touches include CCTV, motion lighting, water softener, boot room with extensive storage, side access, and loft storage.

Location-wise, you’re right on Sheen Lane—a short walk to the High Road, with Mortlake station close by for direct trains into Waterloo. Plus, Richmond Park is just moments away—offering acres of stunning green space, perfect for family walks, cycling, and picnics. On top of that, you’ve got great schools nearby—Tower House school right opposite, plus the highly regarded Sheen Mount Primary and Thompson House all within the catchment area. It’s an ideal setting for families who want convenience and lifestyle in one.
