7 bed semi-detached house for sale

Henderson Road SW18

A beautifully presented semi-detached Victorian family home with a landscaped 66ft garden and off-street parking in a prime location on Wandsworth’s prestigious “Toast Rack”.

With 3,300 sq ft of accommodation arranged over four floors, the property has been improved and extended by the current owners who have created a wonderful family home retaining many fine original features balanced with some more contemporary touches.

Entering the house into a wide hallway with tessellated tiled floors, there is a superb double reception room to the left of the hall with high ceilings, ornate cornicing and plasterwork, a deep bay window which floods the room with natural light together with a matching pair of imposing period fireplaces. Full height double doors divide the space, allowing the rooms to be used independently of one another or as one. To the rear, Crittall-style doors open into the kitchen, dining and family room at the back of the house.

Lit from above by a large lantern roof light running the entire length of the kitchen extension, the room is beautifully bright and airy with parquet floor, and an exposed brick finished wall. The kitchen features a range of dark, stylish contemporary units with plenty of storage, integrated Gaggenau appliances, two dishwashers, a large central island and breakfast bar. There is ample room to seat, dine and entertain 8-10 people. Full height Crittall-style windows span the width of the house, with doors opening to the garden.

The lower ground floor boasts high ceilings and almost 1,000 sq ft of additional living space including a media room, utility room, a guest WC and a spacious double en-suite bedroom ideal for a live-in nanny or else as self-contained guest accommodation.

Six bedrooms are arranged over the two upper floors, including a principal bedroom suite on the first floor at the front of the house, with floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes and a “hidden” en-suite bathroom. There are two further bedrooms on the first floor together with a family bathroom, as well as three additional double bedrooms on the top floor, complete with a further family bathroom.

Of particular note is the landscaped 66 ft garden with a generous, paved patio area accessed from the kitchen and a large lawned area with borders filled with mature, shrubs, plants and flowers. There is also off-street parking for one car to the front of the house.

Henderson Road is one of Wandsworth’s most sought-after streets and is a stone’s throw from Wandsworth Common, the amenities of Bellevue Road, Northcote Road and Balham. Transport can be found at Wandsworth Common station which provides quick and easy access to central London via Victoria and Clapham Junction.
