Description
Set at the end of the terrace on the much-loved Melody Road, and backing onto the charming Trefoil Road, this handsome Victorian home is coming to market for the first time in over 60 years—a true hidden gem with wonderful provenance. Rich in history and full of promise, it offers an exceptional opportunity to restore, extend and reimagine a home of character, charm, and significant scale.
Beyond its classic bay-fronted exterior, the home opens into a traditional entrance hall that leads to a beautifully proportioned double reception room. With soaring ceilings, original fireplaces, and the distinctive Melody Road bay window, each reception area is full of natural light and timeless appeal. The rear section opens directly onto a generous 41ft west-facing garden, offering not only superb afternoon light but exciting scope for a rear and side return extension (STPP). With a lowered kerb and gated access from Trefoil Road, the garden also lends itself to off-street parking or a garage, a rare asset in this location.
Also on the ground floor is a separate formal dining room and a well-sized kitchen with direct garden access, as well as a charming original outdoor WC—a nod to the home’s Victorian roots. Below, a front cellar provides excellent additional storage.
The upper floors comprise four spacious bedrooms, all retaining their original proportions, with natural light pouring through large sash windows. The first floor hosts a WC, while the second is home to a characterful family bathroom featuring a cast-iron bath. Above, a substantial loft space offers exciting potential for further expansion, subject to the usual consents.
This home is further enhanced by rear and side access, including a secure gate to Trefoil Road and access via a private passageway behind the terrace.
Beautifully positioned, full of original features and with outstanding potential to modernise or extend, this is one of the most exciting renovation opportunities to come to the market in South West London.
