Victorian Gem

This handsome and wide Victorian house with south-facing garden sits on a sought-after road between Wandsworth Common and fashionable Northcote Road, under half a mile from Clapham Junction station and in the catchment for the hugely popular Belleville Primary School. Sympathetically extended into loft and side return and with original features beautifully maintained inside and out, it offers four bedrooms, a study, two bathrooms and a large sunny kitchen/family room.

Built in 1878 by a local stonemason for himself, this beautiful property has been renovated and extended to provide a delightful family home and has been lovingly maintained by its present owners. The front of the house has had its brickwork cleaned, its mosaic path re-laid and railings re-installed to restore its charming Victorian exterior.

The hall and living room both lead through to a very light and well-extended kitchen/family room with glass roof and French windows to the garden. The kitchen has recently been renewed and has a classic look with painted Shaker-style units, stone worktops and good quality appliances including a professional Falcon range. There is also a handy downstairs WC and under-stairs storage. Upstairs the three original bedrooms are set over the first floor with a well-fitted family bathroom. Above that, the large loft has been converted to provide a fourth bedroom and study whilst a smart shower room with large walk-in shower has been built over the rear addition. There is scope here to extend further over the rear, subject to consents. The garden faces almost due south and consequently receives sun throughout the day. It has been attractively landscaped and planted. At 27’ x 18’ it is also above the average size for the area.

Mallinson Road lies in the heart of the area known as ‘Between the Commons’ and runs immediately off Northcote Road. The mainline station at Clapham Junction is less than half a mile away and serves The City, West End and numerous parts of the country whilst numerous bus routes also converge nearby. Excellent local schools abound in both sectors and for all ages but, Belleville (primary, 301m away) and Bolingbroke Academy (secondary) are importantly close by. Wandsworth Common and Clapham Common offer lovely open green spaces and recreational facilities, whilst the popular shopping, eating and drinking choices of Northcote Road begin just a stone’s throw away.
