Elms Road, London, SW4

A substantial and stunning six bedroom family home with a 60ft south-west facing garden and situated in the highly desirable Abbeville Village.

This substantial 3,000 sq. ft. family house has been extensively updated and extended by the current owners to a superb standard offering an abundance of living and entertaining space.

Set back from the quiet residential road, the front door opens into the wide hallway which is the first indication that this is not your average Victorian house. To your right is the very grand main reception room boasting a wide bay window. This formal reception space offers very high ceilings, a stunning centrally positioned fireplace and bespoke cabinetry and shelving. Back into the hallway, there is a discreet guest cloakroom, and you can either enter the playroom or indeed the impressive kitchen/dining room. With huge ceiling height, the kitchen itself benefits from a large island/breakfast bar and a large array of wall and base cupboards. It is very well equipped with various integrated appliances, including a Smeg range cooker and gas hob, Miele dishwasher and a large American-style fridge/freezer. The generous dining area forms the second half of this room with enough space for a sizeable dining table. To the rear of the ground floor is the full width and bright family room with vaulted ceiling and bi folding doors leading out into the garden beyond. Completing the ground floor is a useful utility room with all equipment necessary for running a house such as this.

The beautiful and south-west facing garden extends to over 60ft in length and is zoned in a way that is perfect for daily life, children’s play and all-round entertainment. It is paved to the front with space for outdoor dining and an inbuilt stone barbeque. Up a few steps, there is a large grass lawn surrounded by mature trees, plants and shrubbery and all with an automatic watering system. To the rear is a children’s play area with a trampoline and a climbing frame with a slide. Completing the garden is a large shed for all important outdoor equipment and storage.

On the first floor, and to the front you find the generous principal bedroom with in-built floor to ceiling wardrobes and a wide bay window. Accessed from here is the luxurious en suite bathroom featuring a large bath, walk in shower and double sinks over the bespoke vanity unit. The first floor also includes a further very large double bedroom and a smaller children’s bedroom which is also a perfect home office. Additionally, there is a family bathroom with a shower over the bathtub. On second floor you find three further double bedrooms and a family shower room. The top bedroom to the rear features a quirky mezzanine which is perfect for a children’s den and usefully leads to yet more storage.

Elms Road is one of the most prestigious roads in the Abbeville Village and is extremely close to the many popular shops and restaurants on Abbeville Road, including the Abbeville Pub and the Ginger Pig butcher. It is ideally situated running off the south side of Clapham Common and therefore benefits from its excellent facilities and open green spaces, including tennis courts, playgrounds, sports pitches and cafes.

For transport links, Clapham Common and Clapham South Underground Station are close by and provide Northern Line services into The City and West End. A good selection of bus routes are also in the area. The area is also renowned for its many good schools, both state and private for example Thomas’s Clapham and Eaton House are within walking distance.
