"When I first turned into Rodenhurst Road it felt like stepping into an old fairy tale; grand, beautiful houses each full of character.
 
We've loved living here. Whether that's long breakfasts at the kitchen island or summer evenings with the doors open to the garden. One of my favourite things is sitting in the glass box on a winter's evening, with a candle lit and the fire on, watching the rain come down above me. 
 
I've lived in the country and the city, but I've never felt more part of a community than here.  My partner was sold the day he walked into the local Abbeville pub, with rugby on and dogs everywhere, the butcher, Gails and the fishmonger are all five-minutes walk away, generations of families mix, and someone is always looking out for you." - Current Owner

Overview

An exceptional six-bedroom Victorian semi-detached home with three bathrooms and a ground-floor WC, on one of Clapham’s most sought-after residential roads, combining original architectural elegance with striking contemporary design.

Situated in the heart of Abbeville Village, the property has recently undergone an extensive bespoke renovation by local architects and specialist builders. The transformation includes a spectacular architectural glass extension featuring advanced glazing designed to maximise natural light while reducing solar heat gain, as well as a substantial mansard loft conversion. The result is a distinctive and generously proportioned home, complemented by a private 70-foot garden.


Architecture and living spaces

The ground floor combines elegant Victorian reception rooms, with high ceilings and beautiful cornicing, with expansive contemporary living and entertaining spaces. The transition from the Victorian reception rooms to the light-filled contemporary extension creates a compelling interplay of period character and modern design. The architectural glass extension features exposed brickwork, wide-plank engineered oak flooring and underfloor heating. Wide-opening glass doors provide direct access to the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Beyond the glass extension, the uninterrupted outlook across the established garden is particularly striking. With almost no neighbouring buildings visible from the main living space, the house enjoys a rare sense of privacy and seclusion in the heart of London.

A high-end bespoke kitchen forms an impressive centrepiece, featuring a striking island, premium appliances, a gas range with double ovens, a pantry, and extensive fitted storage. Distinctive designer lighting adds visual interest and character to the kitchen and adjoining living space, reinforcing the individuality of the design.

Both principal ground-floor reception rooms feature gas flame fires, bringing warmth and atmosphere to the original Victorian spaces. A separate ground-floor cloakroom provides additional convenience.


Bedrooms and accommodation

Six bedrooms are arranged across the first and second floors, offering generous and flexible accommodation. The substantial mansard loft conversion creates two beautifully proportioned bedrooms, comparable in size to principal bedrooms rather than conventional loft rooms. Both feature exposed brickwork, lending architectural character to these distinctive spaces.

The upper floor also includes a spacious bathroom with a large window overlooking the garden, featuring bespoke, handmade bathroom fittings from Italy. A separate dedicated storage room and extensive under-eaves storage on this level provide valuable additional practicality.

On the first floor, a particularly attractive bedroom overlooking the garden features a vaulted ceiling, custom-designed French shutters and an en-suite bathroom. A further family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.


Garden and parking

The established 70-foot rear garden offers a private setting for outdoor living and entertaining. A substantial four-metre patio, with an awning covering one side, provides generous additional seating and space for outdoor cooking and alfresco dining, extending the living and entertaining areas into the garden.

A separate outbuilding provides flexible additional space, while independent side access allows direct entry to the rear garden without passing through the house.

To the front, secure electric gates lead to off-street parking for up to three vehicles, complete with a dedicated electric vehicle charging point - a significant advantage in this sought-after residential location.
