Contemporary Renovation

Stylishly renovated and extended, this beautiful, imposing Victorian house of over 2100 sq.ft has been transformed into a contemporary family home with a superb kitchen extension, a lovely 30′ bright modern garden and excellent family accommodation. It is situated just off Nightingale Square in one the Triangle’s prime streets, extremely convenient for the excellent schools, transport connections and extensive shopping and dining choices that Balham, Wandsworth Common and Clapham South have to offer.

The house retains a wonderful range of original features including mosaic tiles in the hall, attractive fireplaces, cornices, windows and doors. The decor throughout is fresh and modern and the house has been double glazed throughout. To the front of the ground floor is a beautiful wide separate reception room with large square bay window, built-in display cabinets, sleek hardwood floors and ornate door and ceiling period detailing. The kitchen has been extended to the rear and side creating a very spacious and stylish kitchen/dining/living space, ideal for a family or those who love to entertain. Across the entire width of the extension, it has full-height glazed sliding doors to the garden and this, combined with a huge central skylight and the delightful open rear aspect that the house enjoys, makes this area exceptionally bright. The kitchen itself has beautiful, bespoke, painted wooden units, high-quality integrated appliances a central island and attractive lighting, in addition to a stunning parquet floor with under-floor heating.

The rear garden is a good size and is very private and not overlooked, backing onto low school outbuildings. It has a northwest aspect (very open to the west) and therefore enjoys lovely afternoon and evening sunshine in the summer. It has been landscaped in a crisp, modern style with a sun/dining deck, white rendered walls and artificial grass.

Upstairs there are five bedrooms and three bathrooms, arranged well to suit a young family. The three biggest rooms all have extensive wardrobes to both alcoves, with the first floor rear bedroom opening onto a fabulous full-width roof terrace which has a surrounding glass balustrade and is situated above the kitchen extension. The two smaller bedrooms would be perfect home offices or children’s bedrooms.

Calbourne Road is a lovely residential street, very close to Wandsworth Common and its mainline station from which there are regular trains to Victoria and London Bridge. Tube access to The City and West End is also easy from nearby Balham and Clapham South’s Northern Line underground stations. There is a wide choice of good schooling close by in both sectors, whilst the extensive and shopping facilities and restaurants of Bellevue Road, Northcote Road and Balham are all easily reached on foot. Both Clapham and Wandsworth Common’s green spaces and recreational facilities are also close by.
