Sutherland Square, Walworth, SE17

Utterly Charming Early Victorian Gem Over Five Wonderful Floors.

To quote Shakespeare "In the south suburbs, at the Elephant, is best to lodge." [Twelfth Night].

And he was right - of course! Sutherland Square is minutes from everything Elephant with fantastic transport links to everywhere, including St Pancras International and Gatwick. Preferring to stay local - you can walk to Southbank - and maybe enjoy a performance at The Globe! Sutherland Square is a beautifully presented early Victorian square nestling in a conservation area behind Walworth Road. This established five storey terrace house is three windows wide and has four bedrooms, three receptions (one of which can be used as an extra bedroom), kitchen, a private rear garden and an attic room which could easily accommodate an office or child's bedroom/playroom or storage space. The property boasts an entirely sympathetic and lovingly presented interior. Throughout you'll enjoy beautiful original cornicing, stunning original floorboards and some fantastic period fireplaces.

The classic facade is exceptionally pleasing to the eye; jet black original iron railings and a handsome front door in sage green. A wide hallway greets you warmly with pleasant wall shades, tall ceilings and a stunning arched cornice with intricate original detail. Expertly restored original timber floors lead right into the double reception. Two tall sash windows (with shutters) face the front of the property, with an additional sash window to the rear, flooding light throughout the entire room. Closing the (original) dividing doors turns one room into two in a trice.Your eyes are naturally drawn upward to the ornate floral detail on the masterfully recrafted cornicing - a joy to behold!

The lower landing is tiled and offers a deep larder/laundry/utility room. The kitchen has an open plan layout with double doors separating cooking, dining and lounging areas. Glass doors open to the lower patio. Proceeding along the landing you'll find a wc with shower opposite further garden access. A set of steps leads up to the garden which has a pretty wooden garden room and plenty of mature leafiness

Heading upward, take the stairs (with curling mahogany bannister) up to the first floor. The master bedroom, currently laid out as a lovely upper reception, lavishly spans three windows-wide. It's an airy, spacious, bright room with pale sage walls and more lovely timber flooring. Another fine double bedroom sits next with lively yellow walls and a pretty view of the garden. On the second floor a further double bedroom takes the front spot. A neat single bedroom and bathroom complete this floor which also boasts a walk-in cupboard - perfect for use as a wardrobe And last but not least, the fifth-floor attic room with lovely sloping eaves, an original fireplace, tonnes of recessed storage and a great view of Sir John'Soane's beautiful church.


Crammed with period properties, Sutherland Square is a smart and well connected place to be. Transport options are numerous with a multitude of buses whizzing up and down Walworth Road to all corners of town - you can catch a bus to Victoria, Whitehall, West End, Euston and Kings Cross, City, London Bridge and Borough Market. Trains to the City are a mere 6 minute and the tube at Elephant & Castle or Kennington will take you direct to the city and into the West End. There's a host of shops at the end of your street, including a Marks & Spencer's - that's dinner sorted. Walworth Road has a number of convenience stores for fresh fruit and veg and numerous banks - that's everything covered.
