Chatham Road SW11

A rare opportunity to purchase this three bedroom Victorian terraced cottage built in 1854, which boasts a 55 ft south facing garden and is a stone’s throw from Honeywell School. Chatham Road is the oldest residential road between the Commons and runs down to the popular Northcote Road. Given the rare size of the garden, there is an exciting potential to increase the total size of the property, which of course is subject to planning permission.

A little more….

This superb early-Victorian property features a spacious ground floor with the bright reception room to the front, which has an original fire surround and plantation shutters. With natural wooden floors running throughout you find the good sized open-plan kitchen, benefitting from a large array of wall and base units and integrated appliances such as an oven, an induction hob and fridge freezer. A particular feature is the generous island, with elegant pendant lighting above, providing plenty of work-space and counter-top dining. This open plan family room is perfect for both daily life and entertaining and boasts enough space for a good-sized dining table.

To the rear of the ground floor is a very bright additional extension that is currently used as a children’s playroom and leads directly into the garden. It is very rare to find a house so close to the local schools and Northcote Road with a garden this size and aspect. Given there is no neighbouring garden to one side, there is a great sense of space and light. The initial decked area has raised beds with mature plants and shrubbery. From here you step up into the main section of this well-established south-facing garden which is laid with lawn, has side access and measures approximately 55 ft in length.

Even more….

On the first floor, to the front, is a good-sized double bedroom with two large sash windows and plantation shutters. With wooden flooring this room also boasts stylish built-in wardrobes. To the rear of this floor is another bedroom currently configured as a home office and featuring a floor-to-ceiling sash window with views over the garden beneath. Adjacent is the modern family bathroom which is tiled throughout and boasts a shower over the bath, free standing sink with drawers and a range of mirrored cabinets above. On the top floor you find a large double bedroom with extensive views to the rear and a skylight in the pitched roof to the front. Completing this floor is an abundance of storage in the eaves which is easily accessed from the staircase.

The well-renowned Northcote Road is seconds away with its huge variety of restaurants, bars and boutique shops. In the summer, the road is pedestrianised on weekends to provide space for market stalls and al fresco dining.

The wide-open spaces of both Clapham Common and Wandsworth Common are located very nearby along with the excellent transport links of Clapham Junction station, Clapham South underground station, and Wandsworth Common station. There are multiple bus routes from Clapham Junction that serve much of Central London and beyond.

There is an excellent variety of well-established independent and state schools in the area, with both Honeywell School and Belleville School being a very short walk from the house. Thomas’s Clapham, Eaton House and Broomwood Hall are also located nearby.
