Rowfant Road SW17

The Tour
As you enter, to your right is a very bright double reception room with high ceilings, exposed brickwork and measures nearly 25ft in length. With wooden flooring throughout, the wide bay window overlooks the front of the property and to the rear you find French doors to the garden. The house then takes you through to a large and as yet unextended kitchen/breakfast room which is perfect for both family life and entertaining. This well-proportioned kitchen has a good range of fitted wall and base units, and multiple appliances including fridge/freezer, dishwasher and a Bosch oven. Accessed through both the reception room and the kitchen, the large south-west facing garden, measuring nearly 35ft, benefits from stone tiling and is bordered with flowerbeds with mature plants and shrubs. This spacious house also benefits from a good-sized cellar which is accessed from the hallway.

The generous principal bedroom to the front is bright and has plenty of space for built-in wardrobes and features elegant cornicing and a wide bay window. To the centre of the house, you have another good-sized double bedroom and adjacent is a modern family bathroom featuring a large bath and ceramic tiling. To the rear on this floor, you find a further double bedroom which overlooks the garden below. On the top floor, on the rear mezzanine level is another large double bedroom with views over the surrounding gardens below. Completing this floor is a further bathroom boasting a large walk-in shower.

There is considerable scope for extending this already sizeable property, all subject to planning permission. The kitchen can be extended with a side return which will add approx. 130 sq. ft without detracting from the 35ft garden. Further the top loft is yet to be converted and this additional space currently measures 442 sq. ft. Therefore, with both extensions complete, this superb house could measure nearly 2,300 sq. ft. which would make a substantial family home.
