One of a pair of superb, modern, semi - detached houses set back from the road
in a delightfully secluded position. Unloading kids and shopping couldn’t be
safer or easier with the two off - street parking spaces offered. Not that you’d
need a car here - this substantial five bed contemporary family house (2150
sq. ft / 200. 0 sq. M), with wonderful open - plan living space and beautiful
secluded south - facing garden, is positioned close to Northcote Road’s
conveniences and within the usual catchment areas of Honeywell and Belleville
Schools. Mainline / tube approx. Half mile.
Life “Between the Commons” can be amazingly convenient for schools, transport
and shopping. But with houses jammed like sardines into a tin, your home can
end up feeling a little like a goldfish bowl - rows of houses overlooking you
from the back and passers by gawping in from the pavement at the front. Not so
here! If privacy, seclusion, and peace and quiet matter to you, but you’re not
prepared to sacrifice the luxury of living close to Northcote Road, then this
location could be the answer. Of course, all this comes at a price and that’s
having to abandon your designs on a Victorian house. But when you come across
a semi - detached house like this one with c. 2200 square feet, positioned well
away from the road at the back of a private drive, with off - street parking for
two cars and a thoughtful modern and practical interior layout, then why would
you care?
These two, three - storey properties were built just over twenty years ago and
were occupied for many years by the original architect and builder. They were
originally designed with a central stairway between the houses so that,
subject to consents, each house could subsequently be converted into three
flats, if desired. The original architect has since done this to the
neighbouring property, retaining the ground floor flat for himself. This
property remains as a single dwelling but retains the exact same potential
which increases its future investment value.
Currently, this house is set out perfectly for a family, combining
practicality with modern design. For instance, the ground floor has a decent
utility room and cloakroom/WC, but still has wow - factor in the form of a huge
kitchen/family room 22’ x 20’ which has glazed doors and panels overlooking
the sunny garden. It also connects through to the reception area creating a
lovely bright and spacious open - plan feel. The south - facing garden is an
excellent size and is mainly laid to artificial grass with a high - surrounding
wall and lovely decked outside dining area. With virtually no - one overlooking
from the rear it is extremely secluded and particularly sunny.
Upstairs, well - positioned bathrooms define the use of the space. The top floor
principal suite comprises a double bedroom, wet room and dressing room and has
a balcony with metal spiral staircase dropping down to the garden. Alongside
is a family bathroom and two children’s’ bedrooms. On the first floor are two
double bedrooms, one of which has an adjoining room, which currently serves as
an office but could be a perfect area for an “au pair”. There is an additional
shower room on this floor. The landings and stairwells are also particularly
bright and spacious, giving a lovely airy feel throughout the property.
The house is quietly and securely tucked away off Chatham Road behind a long
drive providing off - street parking and an easy place to install an electric
charger. It is centrally positioned “Between the Commons”, an area that has
become an extremely popular spot for families and is renowned for its
numerous, highly - regarded schools. The most sought - after of these, Honeywell
Primary School, is in the next road along. Northcote Road, at its centre, is
just 100 yards away, and has a superb array of specialist shops (including
many children - oriented boutiques), a diverse range of bar/ restaurants and
cafes and a thriving and fashionable, weekend street - market. Transport is
excellent with Clapham Junction, Clapham South and Wandsworth Common stations
all accessible and numerous bus routes close by providing frequent access into
the City and West End. The green spaces and recreational facilities of both
Clapham and Wandsworth Commons are close by.
