Property details
Keating Estates are proud to present to market an exciting blank canvas in this four double bedroom, two bathroom, Victorian terraced house with a private rear garden. This sought-after location sits between Clapham and Brixton High Streets, with access to the Northern and Victoria lines, and a fantastic choice of amenities in every direction.
Offering generous and flexible accommodation arranged over three floors, this handsome home is currently utilised as a five-bedroom residence and presents exciting scope to redecorate, enhance and/or extend.
To the front, the first reception room is currently arranged as a spacious double bedroom, boasting high ceilings, a large bay window and original wooden floorboards, creating a bright space, easily re-presented back into an inviting reception room. Adjacent, the second reception features attractive corniced ceilings and exposed floorboards, with direct access through to the garden, making it an lovely setting for entertaining or relaxed evenings at home. Subject to preference, the reception rooms could be combined to create an impressive through-lounge.
To the rear, a generous kitchen diner is fitted with two runs of contemporary neutral cabinetry, offering ample storage and preparation space. There is comfortable room for a large dining table positioned in front of the large windows, allowing natural light to bathe the space. A separate utility room leads off the kitchen, keeping laundry and household essentials neatly tucked away, alongside a convenient downstairs WC.
The walled rear garden enjoys charming views over the stained glass windows of the nearby church, adding a picturesque backdrop. While requiring some attention, the garden offers wonderful potential to create a tranquil outdoor retreat for relaxation, al fresco dining or thoughtful landscaping.
Upstairs, four well-proportioned double bedrooms are arranged across the first floor. The principal bedroom spans the full width of the home, complete with high ceilings, original floorboards, a beautiful bay window and useful alcoves either side of the chimney breast, ideal for fitted wardrobes. The remaining three double bedrooms are nestled to the rear, enjoying leafy outlooks. Two bathrooms, each fitted with a bath and overhead shower, serve the upper floor, one of which benefits from a separate WC to ease busy morning routines, with the option to combine into a second large bathroom if desired.
This appealing home is ideal for purchasers seeking a property they can tailor to their own tastes and requirements. There is clear precedent on the street for extensions into the loft and side return, presenting the opportunity to create additional bedroom suites or to further enhance the already generous kitchen space, subject to the necessary permissions.
