Wakehurst Road, London, SW11

A rare opportunity to design and finish a family home ‘Between the Commons’ in a highly sought after location.

Description

Occupying a wider than average plot, this Victorian house provides well-balanced, versatile accommodation and presents a rare opportunity for an incoming family to create a substantial, bespoke home. Ideally positioned for outstanding schools, it offers exceptional potential in a highly sought-after location.

The entrance hall leads to a bright sitting room at the front, featuring a bay window and an attractive fireplace, as well as an additional reception room ideal as a second living space with French doors opening directly onto the rear garden.

Positioned at the back of the house, the kitchen includes an Aga range cooker and connects seamlessly to both the separate dining room and the garden.
Upstairs, the first floor provides a generous principal bedroom to the front, two further well-sized bedrooms, and a family bathroom accompanied by a separate WC.
Notable advantages of this property include its unusually wide layout, convenient side access from front to rear.

Beyond its existing footprint, the property offers significant scope to extend and enhance, the generous loft space, side return and cellar provide the potential to create a considerably larger home, in line with neighbouring properties which have been successfully extended. Planning has been approved by Wandsworth planning (Ref 2025/1685).
For a purchaser seeking to design and finish a home to their own specification in a prime “Between the Commons” setting, this represents a compelling and increasingly rare opportunity.

Location

Wakehurst Road is ideally placed to benefit from the many local shops and restaurants situated on Northcote Road and Battersea Rise.

The wide open spaces of Clapham Common (approximately 0.3 miles away) and Wandsworth Common (approximately 0.2 miles away) are nearby with all the recreational activities they have to offer.

Access north of the river can be achieved from Clapham Junction (approximately 0.7 miles away) that links to Victoria and Waterloo and from Clapham South underground station (approximately 1 mile away) which provides Northern Line services into The City and West End. The area is also well connected by various local bus routes.

The house is well-placed for an excellent selection of schools in the area both in the private and state sector, including sitting opposite Belleville Primary School (Ofsted Outstanding) which also acts as a feeder for Ark Bolingbroke Academy secondary school (also Ofsted Outstanding).
