5 bedroom terraced house for sale

An extremely attractive five bedroom Victorian family home with a deep west-facing garden and wonderful roof terrace on this popular residential street close to the green spaces of Wandsworth common and the amenities of Balham.

The property is well presented throughout and offers almost 2,000 sq ft of accommodation, retaining many original features including tessellated tiled flooring in the hall, beautiful period fireplaces and decorative ceiling mouldings. There is an elegant formal reception room at the front of the house on the ground floor, with ornate ceiling mouldings, built-in alcove storage to either side of a stunning and ornate period style fireplace with a decorative tiled insert. There is a second, cosy reception room accessed from the kitchen, ideal for use as a less formal television room or children’s playroom.

The heart of the home is the spacious open plan kitchen/ dining room to the rear of the house with large format tiled floors, a sleek contemporary kitchen with plenty of storage, integrated appliances and a central island and breakfast bar. There is ample room to sit dine and entertain and bi-folding doors lead directly to the super rear garden. A handy downstairs cloakroom and access to a cellar completes the ground floor accommodation.

Five bedrooms are arranged over the upper two floors, including three double bedrooms on the first floor together with a modern family bathroom with a bath and a separate glass enclosed shower cubicle.

There are two further bedrooms on the top floor, including a split-level double bedroom with panelled walls, a pretty period fireplace and steps up to an en-suite bathroom. The other bedroom has access to a stunning roof terrace with far reaching views over Wandsworth, unusual for a house of this type.

The deep west-facing garden is mainly laid to lawn with a large patio area accessed directly from the kitchen, ideal for entertaining in the warmer summer months.

Wontner Road runs between Boundaries Road and Marius Road and is a stone’s through from the many and varied amenities of Balham High Road, including shops, bars and restaurants.
