Property description
This endlessly impressive five bedder has been deftly augmented to supply unbeatable accommodation. While retaining a smattering of original charm, the house now enjoys a huge, flowing, open plan living space, a contemporary kitchen, four double bedrooms and a large single room/study. The secluded decked garden leads on to an utterly fab self-contained studio with direct access. There is a further roof terrace above the kitchen accessed via the bathroom. Book a viewing, and make it snappy!
The wide, bright hall bags the main entrance on Branksome Road. Stained glass over the door and twin floor to ceiling windows either side combine with a large oblong side aspect number to supply a flood of daylight. Double doors straight ahead lead to an inner hall and side entrance off Lambert Road. Back in the main hall wide hinged doors open right back to reveal a long and lovely living area stretching over eight metres. This space itself can be separated via further nifty hinged doors. Ornate original cornicing, ceiling roses and divine stained glass in the front bay supply period charm as do matching fireplaces at either end. Toward the rear of the space, past French doors to the garden you descend two wide steps to a dining area. Ubiquitous storage runs into an L-shape. An open arch next leads to a long galley kitchen with granite worktops, five ring gas range and a one and a half bowl stainless steel sink. There's further garden access and an adjoining w/c with laundry cupboard. The outside studio is also accessible directly from the road. It offers the perfect spot for stashing the in-laws or moody teenagers or indeed would make a fine rental to supplement the income while you're back packing around India. It comes complete with a contemporary kitchen, lounging area, modern wet room and raised sleeping mezzanine.
Back inside the main residence head upward from the inner hall to meet the main bathroom. It leads onto a decked roof terrace and has a white suite and pretty sash window with frosted lower panes. Continuing up the stairs you'll note grey treads and fancy white risers - very posh. You next meet the first landing where stripped and stained timber floors are the order of the day. Two double bedrooms each front the Branksome Road side. They both have gorgeous cornicing and a feature fireplace. A third double bedroom (with fireplace) faces rear over the garden. You'll find a large single bedroom/study on the second return - it's perfect for penning your saucy memoirs. The final climb rewards your stamina with a huge bedroom with adjoining en suite.
You're within easy reach of Brixton, Clapham and Abbeville Village. The 137 is just around the corner and will whisk you to Sloane Square and Knightsbridge. Clapham North tube is about 12 minute walk for the Northern line or you've got the Victoria line in Brixton. Brixton's all a buzz with the newly developed Windrush Square offering a marvellous place to sit, chat and drink coffee. This is before we mention the ocean of funky bars, cafés and restaurants on offer - we love Fujiyama for some noodles and vino. Brixton's covered market supplies a seemingly endless list of world cuisine - you can dine on everything from Columbian to Vietnamese. Honest Burger is to die for - those chips! The Ritzy cinema will keep any audience happy with its thoughtful mix of art house and mainstream titles and The White Horse really rocks out on the weekend. All in all a real winner!
