Property description
A charming Victorian cottage of 966 square feet, with a delightful 37' south-west facing garden and a spacious interior, ideal for entertaining. There is an easy flow from the lovely double reception room through to the kitchen/dining room, which incorporates a side extension with glazed roof, and on, out to the garden via bi-fold doors. Plans to extend the house further have been approved, allowing a purchaser scope to create an even larger kitchen/dining room with casual living area, and to add another two bedrooms and shower room (or an alternative layout with four bedrooms including a master suite).
Petergate is conveniently located off York Road, within walking distance of fashionable Old York Road and Wandsworth Town station with its speedy service to Waterloo, of buzzy St. John's Hill with its abundance of cafés, bars and bistros, and of Clapham Junction (less than a mile away) with its extensive transport connections and multitude of shops and further options for dining out
