This substantial four-bedroom family house on Nightingale Lane delivers generous, flexible living across three floors and over 2,500 sq ft — ideal for a growing family needing space and practical layout. The ground floor offers formal entertaining rooms, a large living room that floods with light, and a well-equipped kitchen with adjoining laundry, plus an integrated garage and driveway for parking. The private rear garden provides outdoor space for children and pets.
The upper floors are arranged for family life: a principal bedroom with en-suite on the top floor, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom on the middle floor, and a large fourth bedroom plus study on the first floor that could double as a guest suite or home-office. Built around 1900–1929 in a Tudor Revival style, the house has period character and solid brick construction, with double glazing installed after 2002 and gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
The location is a major selling point: a short walk to Clapham South Underground, easy access to Clapham Common, and well-regarded local schools nearby. The local area is affluent and popular with multi-ethnic professionals and families, offering cafés, shops and green space within easy reach.
Buyers should note the interior shows dated 1970s elements in parts (living room fittings and some carpets) and will benefit from sympathetic updating to modern standards. The solid brick walls are assumed to have no added insulation, so upgrading thermal performance could be a worthwhile planned investment. Council tax is described as quite expensive — factor running costs into budgeting. Overall, this is a rare opportunity for a family seeking space, good schools and transport links in an established South West London neighbourhood.
