Loxley Road SW18

We are delighted to offer this substantial six-bedroom family home which is set back from the road and accessed via a pretty front garden. Located on one of the most sought-after residential roads in the area, this rare house offers an exciting opportunity to refurbish and extend (STPP) without encroaching on the stunning south facing garden.

The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall where you can immediately feel the scale and width of this house which is a common theme throughout. To the right, you enter the front reception room which has excellent proportions which include the ceiling height of nearly three metres. This classical room benefits from a very wide bay window, which overlooks the front garden, and a beautiful original fireplace and surround. Adjacent you find the very special dining room which is incredibly bright due to the French door and windows opening onto the garden. This space would happily double as an additional reception room and features an elegant fireplace and bespoke cabinetry on either side. There are two entrances into the kitchen: one of which is through the bespoke arched doors from the dining room and the other from the main hallway. The large, and as yet unextended, kitchen/breakfast room has a good range of wall and base units, various appliances including an oven with gas burning hob and fridge/freezer. There is ample space for a dining table and plenty of light owing to the large windows and side door to the garden.

The huge garden is a fantastic feature of this property, with a large array of mature trees and shrubbery, this garden measures 43ft in length and attracts sunlight for most of the day. Laid mostly with natural grass, there is a useful potting shed in situ at the rear of the garden – this is both a gardener’s paradise and children’s idyllic play space. There is scope to extend the house into the side passage of the garden and create an enormous kitchen extension which could add approx. 200 square feet of additional living space (subject to the usual planning consents being obtained).

The first floor comprises four bedrooms and one bathroom with a separate WC. To the front you find the first of two large double bedrooms which boasts a generous bay window with views over the front gardens and beyond down to Multon Road. Adjacent is the second of the large double bedrooms featuring bespoke wardrobes and with views of the garden behind. To the rear, there is a further good-sized double bedroom, overlooking the back garden and is adjacent to a family bathroom with WC next door.

On the second floor, to the rear, is a smaller double bedroom currently being used as a home office, and with far-reaching views over the gardens below. Next door is a further family bathroom with a bathtub and overhead shower. On the very top floor, you step into a vast double bedroom which measures over 400 square feet. This space is very bright due to its dual aspect windows and excellent proportions. There are extensive built in wardrobes and access to the all-important eave’s storage in the loft space.

Loxley Road forms part of the popular Magdalen Estate, a highly desired set of roads within close proximity to Wandsworth Common. The amenities of Bellevue Road, Earlsfield and Northcote Road are all close by with their large array of shops and restaurants. Wandsworth Common itself offers a huge variety of amenities, such as sports pitches, tennis courts, ponds and cafes.

Transport can be found at Wandsworth Common or Earlsfield overground stations for direct links into London via Victoria and Waterloo. There are multiple bus routes which serve both the local area and wider Central London.

The property is also well located for Beatrix Potter Primary, subject to catchment each year, as well as a number of excellent independent schools, such and Thomas’s, Northcote schools, and Finton House. There are also excellent local sporting amenities for children, including Battersea Ironsides junior rugby, The Spencer sports clubs and Magdalen Park tennis clubs.
