Graemesdyke Avenue, London, SW14

***OPEN DAY – SATURDAY 19TH SEPTEMBER Please call to book your appointment with Dean Moriarty.***

There are some houses that simply feel right from the moment you walk through the door, and this is very much one of them.

Set on Graemesdyke Avenue, in a particularly convenient part of East Sheen, this charming four-bedroom family home has been beautifully cared for by its current owners and has a warmth and sense of homeliness that is immediately apparent.

At the heart of the house is a wonderful kitchen and dining space, a room that feels naturally made for family life. Patio doors open directly onto the raised deck, creating an easy connection between inside and out and making it a particularly lovely space through the warmer months, whether it’s breakfast with the doors open, children running in and out of the garden or friends gathering for dinner.

For anyone looking for even more space in the future, there is also exciting potential to extend further into the garden, subject of course to the usual planning permissions and consents, while still retaining a very good-sized garden.

Elsewhere, there is a spacious living room providing a comfortable place to relax, while the generous bedrooms upstairs give the house the space and flexibility needed for a growing family. The top floor is particularly appealing, with a lovely en-suite shower room and plenty of useful under-eaves storage, while a well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. Practical touches, including valuable side access and excellent storage throughout, make it a home that works just as well as it looks.

For the current owners, however, it is the garden that has really made the house special.

West-facing, established and wonderfully private in feel, it has been thoughtfully planted and beautifully maintained, with mature trees providing welcome shade on hot summer days while still leaving plenty of sunny spots to enjoy throughout the afternoon and into the evening. The raised deck creates a natural extension of the kitchen and dining space and is a wonderful setting for summer lunches, drinks with friends and outdoor entertaining.

The location is another of the home’s great strengths. Graemesdyke Avenue puts you right in the heart of East Sheen, with the independent shops, cafés and restaurants of the High Street close at hand, while Mortlake station is within easy reach for trains into central London.

Families are particularly well catered for, with the highly sought-after Sheen Mount Primary School nearby, while weekends can easily be spent outdoors with Sheen Common and the vast open spaces of Richmond Park both close to home.

It is that combination that makes this such an appealing family house: a warm and welcoming home, a wonderful kitchen and dining space opening onto a genuinely lovely west-facing garden, and one of East Sheen’s most convenient locations.
