Property description

An exceptional family house; stylish and impeccably presented, our clients created a supremely elegant home to satisfy their own exacting requirements, carrying out a complete renovation in 2011 which still looks brand new today. The house is beautifully designed and the atmosphere is warm and inviting, a perfect blend of classic and contemporary interior décor, with a super smart kitchen/dining room, and great bathrooms, in particular the large one which forms an extremely pretty master bedroom suite together with its walk-through dressing area.

Swanage Road is a lovely, leafy street, part of a highly regarded area between Westover Road and Allfarthing Lane off the north western side of Wandsworth Common. The edge of the common is barely a few minutes away as is the Barmouth Kitchen, a charming little local café. The area is deservedly popular for its excellent amenities and transport links; the mainline offers a fast service direct into Waterloo from either Earlsfield or Wandsworth Town stations and a wide array of restaurants, bars, cafes and shops are to be found on fashionable Old York Road as well as on Garratt Lane. The common itself of course offers wide open space as well as opportunities for sport and activities including good tennis courts.
