This elegant four-bedroom semi-detached Victorian house sits close to Wandsworth Common and Bellevue/Northcote Roads, arranged over four floors with high ceilings and generous reception space. Period features — a bay window, open fireplace, coving and stripped wood floors — combine with practical upgrades such as double glazing (installed post-2002), a fully boarded insulated loft and plentiful built-in storage. The lower-ground open-plan kitchen/dining room with limestone flooring, granite-topped island and separate utility is ideal for family meals and entertaining; a long cellar provides extensive, dry storage.
Outside, the compact west-facing garden is usefully divided into three ‘rooms’ with mature planting including a fig, apple and plum tree and a large wisteria-covered boundary, plus a discreet shed. The house benefits from excellent local transport (Wandsworth Common Station, Balham Overground/Tube nearby), strong local schools and fast broadband — appealing for working professionals and families.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: the plot is relatively small for a semi-detached house and the property’s external walls are recorded as system-built with no assumed cavity insulation, so further energy-efficiency work may be needed. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Overall this is a characterful, well-laid-out family home with scope to improve running costs and personalise finishes.
