House For Sale £1,500,000
Fontarabia Road, London, SW11

This is a beautifully designed and wonderfully bright, Victorian, family house with sunny, south-facing garden, contemporary kitchen extension and preserved, original features plus a large unconverted loft space to add further value. It is situated in a peaceful, leafy location just off Clapham Common North Side close to good schools and train/tube connections to The City and West End. A wide variety of bars restaurants and specialist shops can be found on nearby Lavender Hill, Battersea Rise, and Northcote Road.

This Victorian house (c. 1890) has a bright, contemporary kitchen extension and lovely, sunny garden which are visible straight from the hall as you enter the property. Bathed in natural light with a crisp contemporary finish, it’s easy to be immediately seduced. In fact, the whole house has an easy, natural and inviting feel. There is a well-proportioned double reception room with stone fireplace, square bay window, high ornate ceilings and hardwood floors, a cloakroom/WC and cellar beneath the hall. The kitchen has been extended to the side, is well fitted and has fully folding doors to the garden. This is mainly paved with planted borders and has a lovely sunny yet private feel, and being south-facing, benefits from sun for most of the day.

Upstairs are four double bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms (both of which are modern in style – one with shower cubicle and the other with over-bath shower). Three of these bedrooms have hardwood floors; the fourth - the large main bedroom on the first floor- is carpeted and has a pair of built-in wardrobes. The windows throughout the whole house have been double glazed and most rooms have (or shortly will have) fitted “plantation” style shutters.

The large loft is big enough to convert into two further bedrooms or another suite (as required) and there is also scope to dig a basement, all subject to planning permission.

Fontarabia Road is a quiet leafy street close to Clapham Common North Side and the recreational facilities and green expanses the common has to offer. Transport links to The City /West End are at Clapham Junction (mainline) and Clapham Common (tube), whilst Lavender Hill, Battersea Rise, Northcote Road and Old Town provide endless wining, dining and shopping options. There are excellent schools on both sectors in the local area.
