This well‑kept five-bedroom semi-detached house on Blenkarne Road has been in the same family for over 30 years and offers generous, flexible living across three floors (1,873 sq ft). The layout suits growing families who need distinct living spaces: a bright bay-front reception, a kitchen/breakfast room opening to a conservatory, and a top-floor double bedroom with excellent eaves storage. The south‑west facing 41ft garden, complete with a modern summerhouse and decked dining area, extends the living space for children and entertaining.
Practical benefits include a garage, gated off‑street parking for two cars (EV charging point feasible), and close proximity to Wandsworth Common, local shops and well‑rated schools. Transport links are convenient: Wandsworth Common station and Clapham South Underground are within easy reach for commutes north of the river. The area is affluent and family-oriented, with fast broadband and low crime.
Important considerations: the property has an EPC rating of D and original solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated), so there is scope — and likely expense — to improve energy efficiency. The double glazing was installed before 2002 and may not meet current standards. Council tax is above average. While the house is beautifully maintained, buyers should factor in potential upgrades to insulation, windows and further modernisation if prioritising low running costs or highest efficiency standards.
Overall, this is a rare family home on a sought-after street offering immediate liveability, substantial outdoor space and strong potential to add value through targeted energy and finish upgrades.
