Sunny Prospect

This superb natural 4-bed Victorian house with private, south-facing garden, retains original features and has a substantial loft and sunny side return to develop (STPP) increasing the floor area over 2000 sq. ft./185 sq. m., not to mention basement potential. The house occupies a quiet and convenient position just off the green expanses of exclusive Clapham Common West Side, close to Clapham South tube, excellent schools and within striking distance of fashionable Northcote Road.

Built in 1897, this four-bedroom, terraced house needs modernising and updating throughout but is a wonderful opportunity to design and renovate to one’s own specification and one could easily move into the property in its present condition. The house retains some Victorian features and has attractive proportions and a sunny south-facing garden. The elegant ground floor double reception has a wide bay window to the front and doors to the side part of the garden at the back. This area is ripe for development to extend the kitchen/breakfast room sideways and create a wonderful living/entertaining space. There is also a handy downstairs WC and a useful cellar beneath the hall. Upstairs, the four generous double bedrooms are currently served by a shower room/WC on the first floor which has a large glass shower cubicle. There is scope for more bedrooms and bathrooms by conversion of the large loft and in so doing, significant square footage would be added to the property with more still from building to the side/rear of the garden and/or developing the basement.

This residential pocket of SW London known as “Between the Commons” has reached “first-choice” status now due to its wonderful family feeling and facilities. Roseneath Road is a very popular street running up towards exclusive Clapham Common West Side. It is ideal for commuters using the tube into the City / West End as Clapham South station is less than half a mile away. The house is also just a couple of hundred yards from the tennis courts, Bowling Green and other recreational facilities of Clapham Common. This particular house enjoys privacy at the front being opposite Amner Road. Plus, parking seems a lot easier with fewer immediate resident neighbours competing for spaces as there are nearby intersecting streets. The south-facing rear garden has a private feel, green outlook and sunny aspect.

The area provides an excellent choice of good schools. Extensive shopping facilities, numerous restaurants and wine bars can be found on nearby Northcote Road or around Clapham South station. Additionally, there are excellent recreational facilities nearby on Clapham Common.
