6 bedroom detached house

Set back from the road and accessed via electric gates and a private drive, the property has been beautifully renovated by the current owners, who have carefully preserved many of its original features.

The grand entrance hall provides access to all the main rooms on the ground floor. To the left is a spacious and elegant double reception room, separated by large wooden doors. The front section offers a formal living space with a striking bay window and log burner, while the rear provides a more relaxed, cozy area with garden views and an open fire. Both rooms feature intricate ceiling plasterwork, adding to their charm. To the right of the hallway is a study, complete with an original fireplace and built-in alcove storage.

What was once a separate coach house has been transformed into an expansive, open-plan kitchen and dining area, perfect for entertaining. The bespoke kitchen includes an array of fitted cabinets, a butler's sink, high-quality integrated appliances, including a Lacanche cooker, a central island with a breakfast bar, and space for a ten-seater dining table. Double doors framed by an enchanting old wisteria open onto the impressive landscaped garden, designed by Chelsea Flower Show gold medalists Butter Wakefield, and featuring a summer house/gym. The ground floor also includes a playroom, guest W.C., utility room, and access to the cellar, offering ample storage.

On the first floor, you'll find three bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, and a family bathroom. The luxurious principal suite spans the length of the house. To the front, a lavish bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate shower is accessed through a large walk-in wardrobe. To the rear, the spacious bedroom features a fireplace and a balcony overlooking the garden.

The second floor offers three additional bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes and fireplaces, one of which also enjoys a charming balcony. A further family bathroom completes this level.

This beautifully maintained, double-fronted home is noted for its rare width and distinctive shape. The new owners will benefit from the convenience of off-street parking and side access to the garden.

Ambleside Avenue is close to the wide open spaces of Tooting Bec Common with its tennis courts and open air Lido. Good transport links into the West End and the City are available at Tooting Bec underground station and numerous bus routes.
