2 bed flat for sale

Cowley Road, London SW14

A warm, character-filled Edwardian home with its own front door and a shared garden — the kind of place that instantly feels right.

Set on a quiet residential street just moments from the buzz of White Hart Lane, this beautifully presented ground‑floor apartment offers the perfect blend of period charm, thoughtful design and surprisingly generous space. Whether you're a professional working from home, a couple looking to settle into the area, or a small family wanting a cosy base with room to grow, this flat has a way of fitting around your life.

Step through your own private front door (no communal hallways here) into a lovely, light-filled reception room. The elegant bay window has fabulous floor to ceiling windows and the space has a beautiful herringone floor and feature fireplace that creates an inviting space for relaxed evenings, movie nights, or hosting friends. Built‑in shelving adds character and practicality.

The main bedroom is calm, bright and well sized, with fitted wardrobes and space for additional furniture.

The second bedroom works beautifully as a guest room, nursery or — as it’s currently being used as a stylish, peaceful home office.

The heart of the home is the open‑plan kitchen and dining room, designed for easy everyday living. Cook while chatting to guests at the table, throw open the doors in summer, or enjoy cosy dinners when winter rolls in. The kitchen includes a dishwasher, gas hob, electric oven, washer/dryer and fridge — everything where you need it.

The bathroom has a bath with overhead shower and excellent storage, the bathroom feels both characterful and functional.

While the garden is technically shared with the first‑floor flat, there is a section directly outside the kitchen doors that naturally lends itself to use by the ground‑floor occupants. It’s an inviting spot to arrange potted plants, enjoy a morning coffee, set up an outdoor sofa or relax with a glass of wine at the end of the day. With a patio heater, it’s a space you could make the most of throughout the year.

Beyond this, the larger shared garden area offers even more room for barbecues, children’s play or simply having an additional area to enjoy.
