Large south-facing mature garden with lawn and decked entertaining area
Updated kitchen with Smeg and Bosch appliances and open dining flow
Bright rear extension with floor-to-ceiling windows and garden access

Set over four storeys and nearly 2,385 sq ft, this Victorian mid-terrace on Lillieshall Road combines period character with contemporary living. The house offers five double bedrooms, three bathrooms and a series of interconnected reception spaces that flow to a mature, south-facing garden planted with jasmines and hydrangeas — a private green retreat in inner-city Clapham. The kitchen has been updated with Smeg and Bosch appliances and opens to a bright dining room and a rear living extension with large picture windows.
The primary bedroom features twin sash windows, fitted wardrobes and a quality en suite; additional bedrooms occupy the upper levels including a top-floor room with skylights and eaves storage. Practical touches include cellar access, loft storage and concealed laundry facilities. Transport links are strong — multiple Underground and Overground stations and frequent bus routes put central London within easy reach — and the area benefits from excellent local shops, cafés and green space at Clapham Common.
Buyers should note practical running costs and fabric details: the house is in Council Tax Band G (quite expensive) and, as originally built, the solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation. While many rooms have been modernised, buyers sensitive to energy efficiency may want to budget for additional insulation or upgrades. The property is offered freehold and presents straightforward scope for further improvement or cosmetic updating to suit a growing family.
This home suits a family seeking generous rooms, strong local schools and outdoor space, or a buyer who values period detail alongside ready-to-live-in accommodation. Its combination of size, location and garden makes it a rare, flexible Clapham opportunity with clear potential to enhance value through targeted energy and finishing works.
