Manchuria Road, London, SW11

This is an outstanding and beautifully-proportioned house (c.2200 sq ft/200 sq m), retaining beautiful original features blended with contemporary styling in all the right places. The wonderfully light, extended kitchen has been widened into the side return and fitted with sleek, modern units, Corion worktops, a large island with breakfast bar and under-floor heating, and is fully equipped with high-quality integrated appliances. It opens via fully-folding doors into a sunny, south-facing garden (24’ x ’18’) which has been paved and has mature surrounding borders and lighting, ideal for “al fresco” dining. The kitchen also opens into an elegant double reception room featuring an imposing square bay window with bespoke shutters, wooden flooring, matching stone fireplaces and high ornate ceilings. There is also a handy ground floor WC and good cellar.

Upstairs has been cleverly re-designed to provide a perfect layout for a young family; the main suite comprises a large, main, front bedroom with large bay window (also with bespoke shutters), original fireplace and built-in, alcove drawers together with a superb dressing area and large shower room en suite. The other floors provide four further bedrooms (one used as an office) and these are served by a stylish, family bathroom and modern shower room on the two rear landings. There is also good eaves storage.

Manchuria Road is prime location, being a quiet, tree-lined road off exclusive Clapham Common West Side, less than half a mile from Clapham South tube station (Northern Line), which has frequent services to both The City and West End. This house is on the south side and at the Clapham Common end of the road. The whole area provides an excellent choice of good schools and nurseries in both sectors. Extensive shopping facilities, numerous restaurants and wine bars can be found on nearby Northcote Road or around Clapham South station.

The house is offered for sale without any onward chain.
