This handsome mid-terrace Georgian house offers over 2,500 sq ft across four storeys — generous room proportions, high ceilings and many original period details create an elegant family home in Stockwell. The principal bedroom, three further doubles and an additional bedroom plus two bathrooms give flexible living for a growing family or multi-generational household. A secluded paved garden and a first-floor balcony extend the living space outdoors, while off-street parking for one car is a rare central-London convenience.
The house is structurally traditional: London stock brick, solid walls and original sash windows with secondary glazing. Period features such as cornicing, floorboards, shutters and cast-iron fireplaces are intact and attractive, but the property will benefit from modernisation in places — notably insulation upgrades to solid walls and potential kitchen/bathroom modernising — if higher energy performance and comfort are desired. There are two bathrooms serving five bedrooms, which may be a consideration for larger households.
Location is a key strength. Stockwell sits between Brixton and Clapham with strong transport links (Stockwell and Oval stations nearby) and abundant local amenities, parks and well-regarded schools within easy reach. The immediate neighbourhood is lively and cosmopolitan, popular with established tech workers and families seeking good local facilities.
Buyers should note practical downsides: the area records higher-than-average crime levels and the property falls in Council Tax Band F (expensive). The small plot limits garden expansion, and older construction means installing modern insulation and improving heating efficiency could be required. For purchasers who value period character and generous internal space, this house represents a substantial, centrally located family home with clear scope to personalise and improve.
