Clapham Common West Side, London, SW4

Set back from the road behind a smart front garden and tessellated Victorian path, the front door opens into an impressive entrance hall. Two elegant reception rooms are to the left with a striking glazed wall off the hall adding to the natural light. Stunning wooden chevron parquet flooring runs throughout, and the two spaces are partitioned by glazed pocket doors. The front reception room is currently being used as a drawing room with an original Victorian fireplace, cornicing and the large bay window to the front. The rear reception room could be used as a formal dining room and has an opening which leads through to the kitchen breakfast room, also accessed off the hallway. The kitchen family room is particularly spacious measuring in excess of 25ft in length and is filled with natural light via the striking skylights and the sliding doors which run across the full width of the back of the property. The kitchen was designed and built by Blakes London and is finished with an excellent range of white handleless wall and base units with stunning marble worksurfaces, including a waterfall worktop on the large island/breakfast bar and high-quality integrated appliances. The stunning wooden ceiling adds to the contemporary feel of the space and two large sliding glass doors open onto the west-facing landscaped garden. The rear section of the garden can be used as off-street parking and benefits from a remote operated electric gate. Stairs lead down from the hallway into the basement which has been converted to include a superb family room with bay window with a door opening onto a lightwell, a spacious shower room, a wine room and a large storeroom that could be converted to a media room or fitness studio. The principal bedroom is to the front of the first floor boasting far-reaching views across Clapham Common. Elegant built-in wardrobes flank the feature fireplace and high ceilings and the bay window flood the room with natural light. The en suite bathroom features twin sinks, a freestanding bath and large walk-in shower, and a gymnasium with a mirrored wall is off the hallway adjacent. Another double bedroom with an en suite bathroom completes the accommodation on this level. Four further double bedrooms are arranged over the upper floors including the guest suite which also benefits from the view over the common and an impressive en suite bathroom. A utility room with bespoke cabinetry and storage is on the second floor. This spectacular house sits on the junction of Thurleigh Road and Clapham Common West Side overlooking the wide-open green spaces and the tennis courts, with the broadest section of common between the property and The Avenue.
