SW11 5XG

The Shaftesbury Estate is a stunning conservation area of Victorian cottages, set amid quiet tree-lined streets. This house comes with traditional features including fireplaces and bespoke cabinetry, but also a striking architect-designed rear extension offering a bright, high-ceilinged kitchen-diner entertaining area that is among the largest in the conservation area. Clever use of the interior space means the house also includes a home office, downstairs WC/shower room, and extensive built-in storage. There is also a beautiful patio garden bathed in afternoon sunlight, accessed through striking Crittall-style, fullheight glazed doors. While remaining faithful to the traditional architecture, the property includes a modern Shaker- style kitchen with extensive wall and base units, fully integrated appliances, and a large island. Two good-sized bedrooms are arranged over the first floor, the largest benefitting from substantial built-in wardrobes and two sash windows. The second bedroom has a pretty feature fireplace and overlooks the back garden. The spacious family bathroom has both a freestanding bath and a walk-in shower. Wired networking has been installed from the office to other parts of the house. A large attic provides copious extra storage. The house comes with existing planning permission to build a roof extension encompassing a third bedroom with an en suite bathroom. The property is within walking distance of Queenstown Road, Battersea Park, Wandsworth Road and Clapham Junction train stations, or within 25 minutes bus or cycling distance of central London and the City. The two largest parks in the area, Battersea Park and Clapham Common, are ten minutes’ walk away, and it is near the shops and restaurants on Lavender Hill, Battersea Park Road, Clapham Old Town, and the new Battersea Power Station complex. It is very close to a number of good state primary schools and not much further from the leading private schools in the area. Council Tax Band: E | EPC: C | Tenure: Freehold
