Alfriston Road, SW11

This handsome, end-of-terrace five-bedroom Edwardian family house is set on a popular residential street between the commons. With approximately 2,080 sq ft of living space, the house benefits from good proportions in all the principal rooms and retains plenty of original period features, plus a west-facing garden of almost 30 ft.

The spacious entrance hall leads into the elegant double reception room to the front of the house with a striking feature fireplace, bespoke cabinetry and shelving flanking the chimney breast, wooden floors, high ceilings with cornicing and a large square bay window which floods the room with light. There is a woodburning stove in the back section of the room and glazed doors lead through to the kitchen family room to the rear, also accessed via the hallway. This room is wonderfully bright thanks to the large skylights and the bi-fold doors which run across the full width of the back of the house. The kitchen itself has a good range of sleek, handleless wall and base units, integrated appliances, a large island/breakfast bar and stone quartz worksurfaces. The well-maintained, landscaped, west-facing garden is larger than average thanks to its end-of-terrace position. It is laid with a terrace and artificial grass and surrounded by mature planting, making it ideal for al fresco eating and entertaining in the warmer months. A downstairs cloakroom completes the accommodation on the ground floor and the cellar has been converted into an excellent utility space with sink and built-in units.

Three bedrooms are arranged on the first floor. The principal suite is to the front and benefits from built-in wardrobes, the large square bay, a feature fireplace and a smart en suite shower room. The other two doubles overlook the gardens to the back and both have built-in wardrobes; a spacious family bathroom with shower over bath is in between. Stairs lead up to the second floor and two further bedrooms. The larger of the two boasts high ceilings with large rooflights, built-in wardrobes as well as eaves storage and a Juliet balcony with lovely rooftop views. A shower room is adjacent and the fifth bedroom, also with good eaves storage, would make an ideal study or nursery.

This excellent house is on Alfriston Road which runs down to the wide-open spaces of Clapham Common, literally at the end of the street. The amenities of Northcote Road are within easy walking distance and transport can be found at either Clapham Junction Overland or Clapham South Tube on the Northern Line. A number of popular state and independent schools are nearby, subject to catchment and places each year.
