House For Sale £1,550,000
Herndon Road, SW18

A wider than average end-of-terrace Victorian family home on this peaceful tree-lined street close to the green spaces of Wandsworth Common.

Arranged over three floors and fully extended, the property retains many of its original features balanced by more contemporary touches. There is a wonderful and particularly wide through reception room on the ground floor, with tall ceilings, stained and varnished floorboards, ornate cornicing and ceiling roses together with two attractive fireplaces with painted surrounds, cast iron inserts and decorative tiling. Steps lead down to a bright and spacious full-width kitchen/breakfast/family room with a part glazed roof, a smart, contemporary kitchen with a central island and full-height bi-folding doors leading to the garden. The cellar has been converted to provide a useful utility room with a sink, plumbing for a washing machine and high level cupboards and completes the ground floor accommodation.
There are five bedrooms arranged over the upper floors, including a lovely principal bedroom with a large bay window, a wall of fitted wardrobes and a pretty aspect on to Herndon Road. There are two further, generous double bedrooms on this floor including a guest bedroom with an adjacent shower room to the rear with a glazed door leading to a wrought iron balcony with a spiral staircase to the garden. A further, smaller bedroom and a smart, modern family bathroom can be found on the half landing above.
Of particular note is the recently extended top floor guest suite with a very smart en-suite shower room and eaves storage.
To the rear of the house is an imaginatively landscaped garden with two shaped terraces, a lawned area and raised planters planted with mature flowers and shrubs. There is also a large walk-in cupboard containing the boiler, ideal for bike storage and double gates provide side access to Knoll Road.
Herndon Road is a quiet residential street situated close to the open spaces of Wandsworth Common. The varied amenities of Wandsworth are close at hand including the Southside Shopping Centre together with more boutique shops, bars and restaurants on East Hill and Old York Road. The nearest station can be found at Wandsworth Town which provides quick and convenient access to central London via Clapham Junction and Waterloo. The area is renowned for its choice of excellent state and private schools (subject to catchment and entrance each year).
