5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Ouseley Road SW12

An exceptional and exquisitely designed five bedroom Victorian family home on this sought after residential street close to Wandsworth Common.

Offering over 2,700 sq ft of beautifully presented accommodation and balancing original period detailing with more contemporary touches, there is a wonderful double reception room on the ground floor, the front part of which is used as a formal reception room with high ceilings, polished dark wood floors, a feature fireplace with a flame effect gas fire and a range of bespoke alcove cabinetry. To the rear and opening on to the kitchen is a cosy and less formal television room.

The heart of the home is the superb kitchen, dining and family room with wide board washed oak flooring, a sleek contemporary kitchen with plenty of storage, stone composite work surfaces, integrated appliances and a large central island and breakfast bar. Lit from above by three large roof lights, the room is beautifully bright and airy and full height bi-folding doors lead to the garden.

With high ceilings and a great sense of the volume, the lower ground floor is currently used as a family room/gym and provides an extra floor of living accommodation which is rarely found in a house of this type. There is also a spacious utility room and a guest cloakroom on this floor.

Five bedrooms are arranged over the top two floors including a sumptuous principal suite on the first floor with a walk-in dressing room and well appointed en-suite shower room with a free-standing bath, twin basins set in to a vanity unit and a marble clad oversized shower cubicle. There is another double bedroom on the first floor together with a shower room with two further double bedrooms on the top floor, a smaller fifth bedroom and a family bathroom.

At almost 40 ft in length the garden is the ideal space for al-fresco entertaining in the summer months with a large patio area leading to a lawned area with raised planters filled with a variety of mature plants, shrubs and flowers.

Ouseley Road is a popular and attractive residential street ideally located for the shops, cafes and restaurants on Bellevue Road and only a short distance away from the many and varied amenities of Balham, including bars and restaurants on Hildreth Street together with the green open spaces of Wandsworth Common.

Transport links can be found at Balham station (Underground and Overground) which provides access to the City and Canary Wharf via London Bridge and Bank. Wandsworth Common station is also close at hand and allows easy access to central London via Victoria and Clapham Junction. The local area has an excellent selection of both state and private schools subject to entrance and catchment each year.
