Franche Court Road, Earlsfield, London, SW17

A wonderfully inviting four bedroom Victorian family home offering approximately 1,667 sq ft of space, including useful eaves storage, with generous proportions, a fabulous extended kitchen and living space and a wonderfully private 39 ft landscaped garden.

Behind the handsome period facade, the house combines plenty of Victorian character with a fantastic layout for modern family life. At the front is a generous reception room with a bay window, fireplace and fitted cabinetry, providing a lovely separate living space away from the more informal family area beyond. A useful guest cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor accommodation, incorporating a practical utility area with plumbing and space for a washing machine.

The heart of the home is the impressive 26ft kitchen, dining and family room — a beautifully light and versatile space designed around a large central island, with generous areas for both dining and relaxed family seating. Rooflights bring in an abundance of natural light, while wide bi-fold doors open directly onto the garden, creating a wonderful connection between the inside and outside spaces. It is a room that works equally well for everyday family life and entertaining.

Upstairs are four well proportioned double bedrooms, providing excellent flexibility for family life, guests or working from home, together with two stylish bathrooms. The two bedrooms on the top floor also benefit from individually installed air conditioning, providing a particularly valuable feature during the warmer summer months.

The 39ft rear garden is one of the property’s standout features. Beautifully landscaped with mature planting, artificial lawn and a paved terrace directly outside the kitchen, it is unusually private and feels like a genuine extension of the living space. There is plenty of room for children to play, outdoor dining and entertaining, while the mature planting gives the garden a wonderfully secluded feel.

Franche Court Road is one of the area’s particularly desirable residential streets: a quiet, tree-lined no-through road with a lovely community feel. Its position away from through traffic makes it a particularly peaceful setting for a family home, with reduced traffic noise and a safer environment for children.

The house is exceptionally well positioned for the amenities of both Earlsfield and Tooting, with a great selection of independent shops, cafes, restaurants and everyday amenities close by. Earlsfield station provides regular services to Waterloo, while Tooting Broadway Underground is also within easy reach.
