Private garden and resident parking close to Mortlake Station.
Freehold Victorian cottage with period features
A charming two-bedroom Victorian cottage in a private Mortlake development, offered freehold and priced at £700,000. The house benefits from original period features, a vaulted principal bedroom with built-in storage, and recent fabric repairs including a replaced roof and new wooden double-glazed windows.
Ground-floor accommodation includes a living room with an open fireplace, a kitchen/dining room that opens onto a private rear garden, and a single bathroom upstairs. The plot is small but private, with additional communal gardens to the front and resident off-street parking — a rare combination for the area. There is scope to create an extra room in the cellar subject to planning and building regulations.
Practical considerations: the property is solid-brick (as built) and likely has little or no wall insulation, so heating costs may be higher than modern standards. There is just one bathroom and the layout is traditional, which may limit immediate flexibility for some buyers. Local crime statistics are higher than average for the borough; buyers should weigh location benefits against this factor.
This home will suit young families or professionals seeking a period property near Mortlake Station, the River Thames and strong local schools (including an Outstanding primary). It presents a comfortable, characterful home now with sensible scope for further improvement and potential to add value with permitted cellar works.
