5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Wavertree Road, London SW2

A spacious 1920s freehold family home with five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large conservatory extension across the back. Streatham Hill and Tulse Hill stations are each about ten minutes' walk away, and several well-regarded schools are close by.

A 'secret garden' door in the wall leads into the front garden, with a lawn, mature trees, wisteria, and beds of lavender and rosemary. The entrance porch opens into the spacious hallway and a large, beautifully-proportioned front living room with a marble-lined fireplace, looking out over the south east facing garden. At the back, a 20ft kitchen and dining room with breakfast-bar seating is the sociable heart of the house. The kitchen needs updating but has plenty of potential for a new owner. Glazed doors open into a huge conservatory running the full width of the house which was previously a fantastic playroom and is currently used as a yoga studio and workspace. Double doors lead out to a paved yard with planters, a small shed and a large space for outdoors entertaining.

The first floor has two large double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with a curved bay window, two further bedrooms and the family bathroom. On the top floor is a large fifth bedroom with extensive eaves storage and its own shower room. Its window looks out over the treetops to Crystal Palace.

There's parking right outside, and an existing dropped kerb gives scope for an off-street space for a small car, subject to consents.

From Tulse Hill, Thameslink trains run direct to Blackfriars, City Thameslink and Farringdon. From Streatham Hill, Southern trains run to Victoria and London Bridge. Buses run to Brixton for the Victoria line. Dunraven School and several other popular schools are within walking distance.
