Routh Road, SW18

A rare opportunity to acquire one of these exclusive and extra-wide 3-storey Victorian houses on this premier street in “The Toastrack”. With a plot virtually the same width as many a double-fronted house - but with better proportions - the house has a wonderful sense of light and space throughout, and substantial accommodation that can be adapted to suit the varied and growing requirements of a family.

The house is approached through a front garden which has potential for off-street parking, if required, and for which there is ample precedent on this and neighbouring roads - and through into an entrance hallway featuring a beautiful winding galleried staircase. The ground floor provides especially generous living spaces with lovely high ceilings, large windows and original features. There is a separate drawing room with wide bay to the front. Behind this, the rear reception room has been transformed into a wonderful and well-equipped family kitchen with central island unit. Alongside is a snug/family/TV/play room - this and the kitchen interconnect perfectly via a full-width conservatory/dining area. There is also a handy cloakroom/WC and door to a decent cellar, which offers scope for a huge basement conversion

The aspect and precise position of the house (with approximately 120’ feet between it and the houses behind), introduces a superb amount of light and a wonderful open feel at the back, and both the garden and conservatory benefit from the westerly aspect and good summer sun, especially in the afternoon. The garden itself is wonderfully wide and measures 60’ x 30’. It has been beautifully landscaped and benefits from useful side access from the front of the house.

A delightful master bedroom suite peacefully positioned at the rear overlooking the garden has a large and well-fitted en suite bath/shower room (converted from a former bedroom). In addition there are four further large double bedrooms, a family bath/shower room and a spacious laundry room/WC which could comfortably be reduced in size to allow for a third shower/bathroom room if required. There is a further store room and access to useful loft storage.

Routh Road forms part of the “Toastrack”, which is quietly nestled in a pocket of Wandsworth Common, between Baskerville and Trinity Roads and is made up of substantial family houses built towards the end of 19th Century. As such it is very convenient for Wandsworth Common BR station (accessing Victoria and Waterloo via Clapham Junction). There is also easy road / bus access to Chelsea, Fulham and the A3. The green expanses of the Common are within yards and the area is renowned for its number of highly regarded schools and nurseries. Bellevue Road’s fashionable parade of restaurants (including Michelin* Chez Bruce) and numerous specialist shops are very close by. More of the same is found on popular Northcote Road, a pleasant walk away across Wandsworth Common.
