House For Sale £1,695,000
This beautiful five-bedroom house can be found on Thorne Road, a quiet tree-lined street in the heart of Stockwell. It extends over 2,000 sq ft and has a wonderfully peaceful south-facing garden as well as two private terraces. The house spans five floors, within which period proportions seamlessly blend with contemporary design to create a carefully considered home that maximises light and space. Quite fittingly, given its illustrious history of creative residents, a Latin inscription “Arslonga Vita Brevis” is emblazoned along the top of the building and refers to the brevity of life in contrast to the eternal nature of art.
The Tour
Entry is to a bright hallway with plenty of storage. The ground floor living, kitchen and dining areas are configured in a predominantly open-plan layout and flow naturally together. At the heart of the space is a modern kitchen with quartz worktops, sleek white units and lights by Artemide. Dramatic floor-to-ceiling doors span the width of one wall, allowing light to flood in and creating a strong visual connection to the garden. Merbau hardwood flooring runs underfoot.
The upper floors are accessed via a custom-made zig-zag staircase of Meranti hardwood and steel, which channels light across every level. On the first floor are two bedrooms and a shower room. The main bedroom is lined with a series of built-in cabinetry and is incredibly bright care of two large sash windows. The first of two terraces adjoins the second bedroom, which is currently used as an office/music room. A further two bedrooms occupy the second floor, both of which have been fitted with an abundance of built-in storage and are characterised by their grand proportions and vaulted ceilings. To the rear of the plan is a second bathroom.
The lower ground floor has been converted into a large utility room complete with a washing machine and dryer, plus useful drawers. There is also a spacious guest bedroom on this floor.
Outdoor Space
The garden and terraces flow seamlessly from the interior spaces to create a truly outward-looking home. The verdant south-facing garden is paved with Indian sandstone and has been planted with palms, trailing vines and ferns. To the front is a space for dining, while the space at the rear provides a peaceful oasis. Occupying the top floor is a terrace with expansive views across the treetops and Victorian terraces of London; there is also a sunny lower terrace with plenty of room for planting.
The Area
Stockwell has a very good selection of pubs and restaurants, notably the Canton Arms and nearby Stockwell Continental. The extensive redevelopment of Battersea Power Station and Nine Elms is set to create a new and vibrant neighbourhood with an influx of shops and restaurants with outdoor seating, including Tapas Brindisa and Tonkotsu. Clapham Common, Battersea Park, Brixton and the River Thames are all within walking distance. The greenery of Larkhall Park is only a seven-minute stroll away.
Stockwell Underground station is easily reached, with access to the Northern and Victoria Lines (providing quick access to central London) and connections to the London Overground at Clapham High Street. The Northern Line will also run from the new Nine Elms Station, scheduled to open in 2021. There are a number of buses that run into central London along Clapham Road.
