5 Bedroom Terraced For Sale

Property description

On the market for only the third time since its construction this is a beautifully presented, mid-terrace, Victorian family home with abundant character and charm.

Internally the property retains all the original fireplaces with the original tiles still in place, there is a wonderfully wide and grand staircase giving the whole property a sense of grandeur and there is ornate plaster work and cornicing throughout the ground floor.

Externally there are mature Jasmine and Wisteria climbers adorning the front and rear of the property greeting you with a wonderful scent and colours as you approach the property and relax in the south facing garden. The property is ready to move into with a modern kitchen and rear extension but it would also allow any new owners to decorate and arrange the upper floors to their own taste and style.

Situated at the top of Allfarthing Lane, a short distance from Wandsworth Common, the property is extremely convenient for Clapham Junction, Wandsworth Town train station and all the shops, bars and amenities on Old York Road. The recently refurbished Southside Centre with its cinema, Waitrose and host of other shops and restaurants as well as the recently extended Sainsbury supermarket are also within easy reach. The area boasts a range of both private and state sector primary schools and day-nurseries.
