Catchment Sunshine

This recently refurbished, stylish, Victorian, family home with sunny south-facing garden is superbly located in the Belleville School catchment, less than half a mile from Clapham Junction and directly off fashionable Northcote Road. Extended into both the spacious loft and side return, it features a new kitchen and many original features, and has potential for further expansion.

This is a classic bay-fronted, late-Victorian property with a great feeling of width, light and space throughout. It has generous living/entertaining space courtesy of a gorgeous double reception linking through to a bright, well-extended kitchen and this creates an excellent flow on the ground floor. The double reception room, retains a pair of beautiful matching marble fireplaces and high ornate ceilings and has elegant original wood floors. The extended kitchen/family room faces south and receives wonderful natural light through the extra-large skylights used in the side extension. It has been recently fitted with superb, high-quality storage units and integrated appliances. French windows lead from here out to a walled south-facing garden, which is sunny, yet secluded and receives sun for most of the day. It is paved with mature borders and has an outside store. There is also a handy ground-floor WC and a good storage cellar beneath the hall. Windows have also been double glazed and the house has recently been redecorated extensively.

Upstairs are four double bedrooms – all with large windows and built-in wardrobes – which are well served by a family bathroom and a shower room (one on each floor). There is scope, subject to consents, to further extend the top floor at the rear to create a fifth bedroom and third bathroom and raise the floor area close to 2000 square feet.

Mallinson Road is a tree-lined residential street which runs either side of Northcote Road with this property being on the popular and quietest section between Webb’s Road and Leathwaite Road and on the sunnier south side. It is extremely convenient for the transport facilities at Clapham Junction (less than half a mile away) which include direct trains to Victoria, Waterloo and Canada Water amongst others and numerous bus routes. There are many good local schools for all ages in both sectors. In particular OFSTED-rated, outstanding primary school (Belleville) is just a few roads away and this house is regularly in its catchment. Intersecting Northcote Road provides many good restaurants, cafes, bars and specialist shops as well as a thriving food market.
