Geraldine Road, SW18

Character, style, charisma and intrigue are just a few words that encapsulate the true beauty of this four-storey property in the heart of Wandsworth.

Walking through the front door is enough to take any visitor into a world of opulence, historic features and designer delights.

The sweeping staircase goes up or down and into a myriad of rooms that each have their own essence of a time-encapsulated era. The main living and bedrooms have their own fireplaces, each suited to the décor and ambience of their environment, alongside a myriad of other unique and individual features.

The choice downwards leads to a 775 square feet of lower ground floor space which could easily be a separate living area from the rest of the house.

Before you can think 'Downton Abbey' you're in an opulent reception room, shaped with sturdy bay windows that allow streams of natural light. This leads to a corridor from which there is a study and a beautifully arranged bedroom space with ensuite bathroom. Further along that corridor is a thoughtfully placed kitchen with exceptional attention to detail. A large hob and oven offers every cook's dream while the fitted units offer substantial storage and a promise of hidden gems.

As if not already enough, the kitchen leads to a further room leading to the outside. The floor to ceiling glassed area could be used for dining, further kitchen space or just a natural resting spot after a day outside in the garden.

Back up to the ground floor and there is a further large reception room leading into a dining area, both offering a similar sense of grandeur – and a further kitchen area with an adjacent sitting/dining area.

The lure of the staircase continues to the First floor with is vast master bedroom, exceptionally opulent bathroom with polished wooden flooring and another unique fireplace and a further room leading to a terrace.

A first-floor half landing is home to another bathroom before the second floor completes this substantial property, with a further two large bedrooms and another bathroom.

There is no doubt this house has huge character and appeal with a flexibility that goes beyond most homeowners most optimistic desires.

Like many of the other community primary schools within a short distance, such as Allfarthing Primary, Wandsworth Prep, St Anne's Cof E and Riversdale Primary, they have a fabulous reputation and good reports from OFSTED and/or parents.

Many of these prepare students to enter top sets in local secondary schools such as Graveney, which has an 'outstanding' rating from OFSTED, Ashcroft Technical Academy and a range of independent schools in the area.

To add to the desirability of this location, it also offers an eye-watering selection of restaurants, pubs, wine bars, supermarkets and leisure facilities. So if you ever wanted to leave this house – assuming you could find your way out, of course – the breadth and quality of local amenities would be hard to find in such abundance in any other area of London.
