5 bed terraced house for sale

Grosvenor Avenue, East Sheen SW14

A substantial Edwardian family home on a quiet, tree-lined road popular with families.

This spacious period home sits towards the end of a peaceful residential street, much loved for its community feel and family appeal. It retains many original features and offers generous living space, including an elegant double reception room with high corniced ceilings, a fireplace with wood-burning stove, and bespoke built-in bookcases and cupboards. A wide bay window with plantation shutters overlooks the front garden, while French doors open onto a timber-decked courtyard and a garden designed as a dynamic, all-season living space inviting creativity, connection, and play year-round.

Wood flooring runs throughout much of the house, including the large kitchen/breakfast room, which is fitted with a range of cream units and wood worktops. The kitchen opens directly onto the terrace and garden via two sets of French windows and comfortably accommodates a large dining table. There is also a separate utility/cloakroom on the ground floor.

The home has five bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms arranged over two upper floors. The flexible layout includes a notably large bedroom on each of the first and second floors, offering choice for the main bedroom depending on family needs. The front bedroom on the first floor spans the width of the house and features a bay window. Two further bedrooms - one double and one single with a picture window overlooking the garden - share this floor, along with a bathroom fitted with a modern white suite. On the top floor is another large double bedroom, a fifth bedroom, and a separate shower room.

The garden has been thoughtfully designed for creativity, play, and time with family and friends. There's a sunken trampoline, a wooden treehouse fort with rope cargo net, and a soundproofed cabin currently set up for music production - providing space for fun, imagination, and retreat across all ages. A generous paved terrace leads to a professional-quality Four Grand-Mère brick-built pizza oven - strong, sustainable, and capable of cooking full meals as well as pizza and bread - set within bespoke cedarwood storage with stone worktops. It's a lovely space for long summer lunches, birthday parties, or simply enjoying being outdoors together.

Please note that the photographs were taken before the start of the current tenancy. The home, which has been much loved by the owners and more recently by long-term tenants (in place for nearly seven years), would now benefit from redecoration and updating to the kitchen - offering scope for the new owners to make it their own
