5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Herondale Avenue SW18

This handsome, semi-detached five-bedroom family home is set on one of the most sought-after roads in the area. With approximately 2,560 sq ft of light-filled living space arranged over three floors, the property also benefits from a superb 77ft south-facing garden and off-street parking, just moments from Wandsworth Common.

Set well back from the street behind a white picket fence and front garden with off-street parking, the front door opens into a spacious entrance hall. The elegant reception room is to the front with bespoke cabinetry and shelving, a striking feature fireplace and a deep bay window, which floods the room with light. A second reception room is to the back of the house, offering excellent space for both everyday living and entertaining, and double doors open onto the impressive, glazed garden room to the rear. This space is wonderfully bright with plenty of room for both sitting and dining areas and opens onto the stunning south-facing garden. Landscaped and laid with lawn surrounded by raised flowerbeds with mature planting, a terrace at the far end makes the most of the sunlight hours. An in-built trampoline is to the back of the garden and there is a great sense of privacy, making the outdoor space ideal for al fresco eating and entertaining in the warmer months. Another benefit is the side access from the front, perfect for muddy boots, bikes and dogs.

The kitchen/breakfast room also has double doors onto the garden room and an excellent range of modern, Shaker-style wall and base units with integrated appliances and granite worksurfaces. There is plenty of room for a dining table and wooden floors run throughout. A downstairs cloakroom completes the accommodation on the ground floor.

Four bedrooms are arranged on the first floor, along with a family bathroom and separate wc. The larger room to the front benefits from excellent built-in wardrobes and a feature fireplace, and the bedrooms to the back overlook the gardens. The smallest of the rooms makes an ideal nursery or home office.

Stairs lead up to the second floor and the impressive principal suite. The dual aspect bedroom measures almost 27ft with large windows overlooking the front and back gardens. A large, walk-in wardrobe makes clever use of the eaves, and the spacious en suite bathroom has a separate bath and shower and substantial built-in wardrobes.

Herondale Avenue runs from Lyford Road to Ellerton Road and is one of the widest residential streets in the area, lined with mature trees. There is very little through traffic, and Wandsworth Common is at the end of the road. The amenities of Bellevue Road, including the ever-popular Chez Bruce and new addition Rosina by Adam Byatt, are within easy walking distance. Wandsworth Common station provides quick and easy access to central London via Clapham Junction and Victoria, and Tooting Bec and Balham Underground stations are also easily accessible (Northern Line). There are several popular state and private schools nearby, subject to catchment and entrance each year.
