Hendham Road, SW17

To those in the know, Hendham Road is one of several streets running off Trinity Road that are perennially popular thanks to the gardens, which are some of the largest in Wandsworth. This house boasts one in excess of 90ft in length – despite a large family-room extension which provides valuable extra living space. The ground floor here offers superb open-plan living. The often-narrow and dark hallway has been incorporated into the already impressive size of the double reception room, which in turn leads through to a newly fitted kitchen / breakfast room and the dining / family room beyond. A large bay window to the front, sky lights to the side-return extension and the glazed doors opening onto the rear garden all ensure that natural light is maximised. Contemporary solid-oak flooring has been laid throughout the ground floor, which adds to the open-plan feeling of the house. But floor-to-ceiling sliding doors between reception room and kitchen offer the opportunity to close off noise, kitchen smells or even children!

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms – all with built-in storage – and three bathrooms (two ensuite). The basement has also been excavated to provide a utility room, and further bedroom and shower room. Outside, the rear garden is lawned with accent lighting. The loft room could easily be divided to create an additional bedroom on the upper floor, and the basement bedroom could become a playroom.

Hendham Road is ideally situated for access into the City or West End via Wandsworth Common BR station and the Northern Line at Tooting Bec. It’s also only a short walk from the shops and restaurants of Bellevue Road, with numerous supermarkets and more extensive shopping facilities to be found at Balham centre or across the common on Northcote Road. There are also numerous local bus routes. The local area provides many good schools in both private and public sectors, while Wandsworth Common is within easy reach.
