5 bedroom detached house for sale

Offering incredible views across Clapham Common, this beautiful three-storey house measures just shy of 2,300 sq ft with plenty of scope for further development. This striking property benefits from the signature detail redbrick façade which is associated with this sought-after address. The property occupies an end-of-terrace position which adds to its levels of natural light and gives the house the added benefit of side access and garage. In addition to this, the extra width of plot would allow for a sizeable ground floor extension, subject to the usual consents (the neighbouring party wall having already been constructed).

The front door opens to an attractive entrance hall which in turn leads to a kitchen dining room. The kitchen is located in the rear part of the original ‘double reception room’ which means that the most important room in the house benefits from the fantastic high ceilings, beautiful large bay window and wonderful views onto the common.

To the rear of the ground floor there is a reception room with dual aspect windows, including two bay windows overlooking the garden, and a feature fireplace. A glazed door opens from this room to a courtyard-style, west-facing garden.

The first floor is currently laid out with an elegant drawing room to the front which benefits from a Victorian fireplace and glazed double doors which open to an ornamental balcony with far-reaching views. Two double bedrooms and a family bathroom can also be found on this level.

Two more bedrooms and the second bathroom are situated on the second floor, as well as access to a spacious loft with great potential for conversion, subject to the usual consents.

On the lower ground floor there is a cellar which matches the footprint of the ground floor less the rear addition. Again, plenty of scope for conversion subject to the usual consents.

Clapham Common West Side has long been considered one of the most prestigious addresses around the Clapham Common area. The wide-open spaces of the common are literally in front of the house and the tennis courts are just a stone’s throw away. The location provides easy access to the amenities of Northcote Road as well as the transport links at Clapham South Underground on the Northern Line and Clapham Junction Overland. There are a number of popular state and independent schools nearby, subject to catchment and entrance each year.
