Triple-Fronted

If you lust after a property with lateral space, prepare to salivate over this unique, triple-fronted, semi-detached home. Set in a prestigious, peaceful position just yards from Clapham Common and its tennis courts, it’s on the market for the first time in 40 years. Its wonderful width is evident on all floors and ensures huge hidden potential in the massive loft. Character and original features abound and, whilst the house is very well maintained, it’s ready for the next generation’s ideas. Excellent schools, dining/shopping facilities and direct tube access to The City/West End are all close by.

This magnificent extra-wide, semi-detached and double-fronted family house (c.1907) provides substantial accommodation over two floors with a huge loft above, conversion of which would comfortably raise the floor area in excess of 3100 square feet. This one, built wider than the others on the street, is in fact triple-fronted, its lateral space generating superb living/entertaining space for a family all on one level. This includes a wonderful double reception room with windows front and back and ornate ceilings, a separate dining room (currently used as a study) and a spacious, well-fitted kitchen/family room with doors to the garden. All these reception rooms have lovely high ceilings and large windows. There is also a handy utility/storeroom area built into the garden, a ground floor WC and a storage/wine cellar beneath the hall. The sunny south-facing walled garden (35’ x 18’) is secluded and has a lovely stone-tiled patio, plus side access from the front for bike storage/gardening etc.

Upstairs, and all on the first floor, are four double bedrooms and two bathrooms (one being the large main dressing room/bathroom “en suite” to the principal bedroom, the other being a well-appointed room with shower over the bath. Conversion of the loft would add a whopping extra 900 square feet and would be a relatively inexpensive and straightforward extension, subject to obtaining the relevant consents. There is further potential to dig out the basement as others have done (STPP).

Exclusive Thurleigh Road runs between the two commons and is one of the most notable streets in Wandsworth. This imposing property is situated in the quietest part of the street near the leafy cul-de sac on Clapham Common West Side, with other similar double-fronted properties on both sides of the street. Traffic rarely comes down this far and there is ample easy on street parking. Clapham South tube (Northern Line) is less than a quarter of a mile away, accessing The City and West End and there are many good local schools. Fashionable Northcote Road is close by with a diverse range of specialist shops, bar/ restaurants and thriving street market.
