Mayford Road, London, SW12

Set back from the street and with a pretty front garden, this substantial property has wonderful proportions and a real sense of grandeur, and retains many of its fine original features. Upon entering the property you are greeted by a lovely wide entrance hall. To the right is an impressive drawing room with high ceilings, attractive cornicing, a deep bay window and a period fireplace with a marble surround. To the rear is an elegant formal dining room with equally high ceilings, a grand fireplace with decorative wooden surround. Full height, original glazed doors lead through to a small conservatory and on to the garden. There is a large utility area to the rear of the house, with a substantial amount of built-in storage which leads through to a bright, airy eat-in kitchen, lit from above by two large roof lanterns (with electric blinds), plenty of wall and base units, a range cooker, integrated oven, fridge, freezer and dishwasher. The dining area to the rear enjoys a pretty view over the garden, which can be accessed via French doors to the side. There is also access through to the conservatory from the kitchen. A cloakroom and access to a substantial cellar completes the ground floor accommodation. Seven bedrooms are arranged over the three upper floors, including a lovely principal bedroom to the front of the house on the first floor, with an unobstructed view over neighbouring gardens, plentiful storage and a large en-suite bathroom with bath and separate shower. There is a further, generous double bedroom on this floor together with a smaller bedroom, currently used as a study together with a wc. There are three bedrooms and a family bathroom on the second floor, together with a further bedroom encompassing the entire third floor with access to eaves storage. Of particular note is the superb south-east facing garden. At over 46 ft in length and with views over neighbouring gardens, it is mainly laid to lawn with a patio area accessed from the kitchen with borders filled with a variety of mature plants, shrubs and flowers, making it an ideal space in which to spend time and entertain in the warmer summer months.
