Byrne Road SW12

This stunning five-bedroom Victorian house is set on a popular residential street just moments from central Balham. The house has been completely refurbished and extended by the current owners, and measures just shy of 2,300 sq ft.

Set back from the road behind a front garden, the front door opens onto the elegant hallway which leads into the first smart reception room at the front of the house. With a stunning feature fireplace, ceiling cornicing, high ceilings and beautiful hardwood flooring, this room boasts a large square bay window which floods the room with light. Next door to the reception room is the brilliant family snug, which also boasts ceiling cornicing, TV and sound points built in and hardwood floors. Further along the hallway there is a downstairs cloakroom and utility room, all beautifully designed with bespoke fittings and benefiting from step-free access from the side of the property.

The expansive kitchen breakfast room can be found at the back of the house and is wonderfully light and bright from the two smart skylights and sliding doors which run across the full width of the back of the house and perfect for both family life and entertaining. The kitchen itself is a handcrafted Davenport kitchen made in England with burr walnut cabinetry, sleek wall and base units, quartz worksurfaces, fully integrated Miele appliances, Quooker tap, poured resin floors and a large island. There is ample space for both a dining table and comfortable seating. Sliding glass panes lead onto the excellent garden. The south-facing garden is beautifully landscaped with a lower terrace ideal for al fresco eating and entertaining, with steps leading up onto the lawn with mature borders, attractive planting and a cherry tree with edible fruit, giving the garden a great sense of privacy. There is the addition of an outbuilding that could be used as a gym, Pilates studio or home office.

The principal suite is arranged to the front of the first floor. A fantastic walk-through wardrobe filled with bespoke cabinetry leads into the luxurious en suite bathroom with twin sinks, freestanding bath and a walk-in shower. In addition to the principal suite, the second double bedroom is located on the first floor along with a contemporary family bathroom with a shower over the bath.

Stairs lead up to the second floor which features two further double bedrooms, one of which includes a seating area and is ideal as a guest suite. There is a large family shower room, with a walk-in shower and an additional bedroom on this floor. Rooflights provide ample light and there is further storage located on the eaves of the property. A roof terrace with far-reaching rooftop views, completes the property.
