Beeches Avenue, Carshalton, SM5

Edwardian architecture at its finest! This beautiful family home is set over approx. 2650 sq ft and features five double bedrooms, three large reception rooms, a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, circa 100ft garden plus a large studio at the rear with additional parking on Barrow Hedges Way. The location is prestigious and within walking distance of Carshalton Beeches station and the outstanding Barrow Hedges Primary School. Particular features of note are the wonderfully high ceilings, feature fireplaces to many of the rooms, beautiful stained glass to the front door and attractive ceiling roses and coved cornicing. The accommodation on the ground floor features an impressive living room with large mullioned bay window and a stunning marble fireplace. The dining room can be accessed from both the living room and the entrance hall and can accommodate an eight-seater dining table. The kitchen/breakfast room is expansive and includes a range style oven, space for dining and access to a utility room and downstairs WC. The third reception room is the lovely drawing room overlooking the garden with French doors opening onto the patio. Moving onto the first floor, the landings are staggered and start with a pretty bedroom with views over the garden, plus the family bathroom. A short flight of stairs takes you up to the next landing which provides the large principal bedroom and second well-proportioned double bedroom. Turning to the top floor, the property was built at the turn of the 20th Century when household staff ‘lived in’ and therefore the two top floor rooms are part of the original build. These would have been classed as ‘the servants quarters’, but now provide two good sized double bedrooms. Externally to the rear, the Westerly aspect garden extends to approximately 100ft and has a spacious area of patio off the back of the house, ideal for outside dining and gatherings. The large studio/home office can be accessed from the garden as well as the main front door in Barrow Hedges Way, which has an adjacent area of hard standing, providing two additional parking spaces. To the front of the property, there is a block paved driveway providing off street parking and giving access to the double length, detached garage and side access to the rear garden. Locally, the area of Carshalton Beeches is highly sought after and offers a parade of shops, including a traditional Butchers, café’s, restaurants, hairdressers and lovely gift shops. The bakers is also a short walk away from the property and is a favourite with the locals! Families will benefit from nearby parkland at the picturesque Oaks Park and education in the area is highly regarded and includes Grammar Schools in the borough. There is scope for extension subject to the usual planning consents.
