Gorst Road, London, SW11

We are delighted to offer a superb semi-detached Victorian house positioned on one of the most desired residential roads between the Commons. Measuring nearly 3,000 sq. ft., this rare family home has been thoughtfully extended to provide excellent accommodation and boasts a lovely south facing garden.

As you enter the property you immediately get a sense of the generous proportions of this family home which benefits from high ceilings throughout. Set off the wide hallway, you enter the magnificent double reception room which boasts two attractive feature fireplaces, ornate cornicing, bespoke cabinetry and a wide bay window which brings in an abundance of natural light. To the rear of the ground floor is the stunning kitchen/dining room which has plenty of space for a large dining table positioned beneath a striking skylight. The kitchen itself is truly elegant and features high quality modern Shaker-style wall and base units, marble style white quartz worktops and a large central island which is perfect for daily family life. This kitchen is a chef’s delight with its range cooker and various fully integrated appliances including a Bosch dishwasher and Fisher & Paykel fridge freezer.

Through bi-fold Sunflex aluminium doors you step into the lovely and generous south-facing garden with a tiled terrace ideal for al fresco dining. Beyond is a lawned area laid with artificial grass which is surrounded by raised beds with mature shrubs and plants. A particular feature is the large bay tree at the end of the garden which provides a pop of colour all year round and offers a real sense of privacy. Completing the ground floor and accessed from both the front of the house and the garden is the side passageway which is essential for storing garden and equipment as well as a plethora of bicycles should one wish.

The lower ground floor provides an excellent family room and playroom with a further wide bay window and essential built-in storage. This adaptable space can be used as a playroom, cinema, gymnasium or even additional accommodation owing to the shower room on the same floor. In addition, there is also a useful utility room with bespoke wall and base units which incorporate a sink and washing machine and tumble dryer.

The principal bedroom suite is situated to the front of the house on the first floor and boasts a large bay window with plantation shutters, extensive built-in wardrobes and original Victorian ceiling cornicing. It is from here you step into the spacious and very luxurious bathroom with free-standing bath, walk-in shower and twin sinks recessed into a marble countertop. To the rear of the first floor is a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and adjacent is a family bathroom with a shower over the bath.

The second floor, which also boasts great ceiling height throughout, offers three further double bedrooms and a shower room. The rear of these bedrooms has a truly unique and bespoke round window which overlooks the garden below. It is from the top landing that one can access the loft space which offers yet more storage.

Gorst Road is a quiet residential street that runs from Bolingbroke Grove to join Dents Road. Importantly, Gorst Road is a no-through road which makes it unique to the area and carries very little traffic as a result. Wandsworth Common is seconds away with all its amenities, such as sports pitches, tennis courts, playgrounds, ponds and the well-trodden Skylark Café. The house also offers easy access to the amenities of Northcote Road and Bellevue Road with their vast array of restaurants, shops, cafés and bars, including the Michelin starred Chez Bruce.

There are excellent transport links including Clapham South underground station, Clapham Junction and Wandsworth Common mainline stations, which all provide fast access into the West End and the City of London. At Clapham Junction itself, there is a huge variety of bus routes going into Central London and beyond.

The immediate area provides an excellent variety of well-established independent and state schools, with both Honeywell School and Broomwood Prep (formerly Northcote Lodge) being a short walk from the house. Thomas’s Clapham, Finton House, Bolingbroke Academy and Hornsby House are also close by.
