4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Chestnut Avenue SW14

Description

Discreetly tucked away on a genuinely quiet cul-de-sac off Thornton Road in East Sheen, enjoying a rare degree of privacy for its setting, this charming semi-detached home is superbly placed for Mortlake Station and Thomson House School, as well as the wider amenities of East Sheen and Mortlake.

Light and airy throughout, it offers high ceilings, timber flooring and period fireplaces and beautifully refitted, timber framed double glazed windows. A wide entrance hallway with useful under stairs storage leads to a generous front lounge with its own fireplace and lovely wood flooring, while to the rear, an open plan kitchen and breakfast room flows into the dining space, with French doors opening onto a covered veranda, a real rarity for the area, before the garden beyond. A downstairs cloakroom, with a striking detailed mosaic tiled floor, completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, a large landing leads to three well proportioned double bedrooms, including a substantial principal room to the front, two further doubles overlooking the garden, family bathroom, alongside a fourth bedroom currently used as a study. A separate stairwell rises to an impressive open loft room, around 24ft by 18ft, currently set up as an art studio, with eaves storage and genuine potential either to convert into a striking principal suite or simply to enjoy as it is.

Outside, an attractive walled front garden with its own pathway sets the tone before you even reach the door. To the rear is a genuinely lovely, traditional south facing garden, 39ft in length, with established trees. With its own access from the adjacent service road, a large detached garage measuring approximately 22ft by 9ft 3in, complete with an up and over door, is a valuable practical addition that's rare to find in this area. Together with the semi-detached setting and the discreet, tucked away position of the road itself, it's a combination of features you don't often see together so close to the centre of East Sheen.
In all, extending to around 2,067 sq ft including the garage and eaves storage, this is a wonderfully versatile family home with charm, light and space in equal measure, and genuine scope to extend further. It would suit a discerning family looking for a long term home with real character, in a setting that's every bit as rare as the house itself.
