A stylish and secluded detached home, exquisitely refurbished with exceptional attention to detail, combining architectural charm with imaginative modern design throughout.

Description
Exquisitely appointed and rich in period character, this impressive, detached home is quietly tucked away behind mature greenery on one of Wandsworth’s most sought-after roads; offering exceptional privacy, stylish interiors, and direct access onto Wandsworth Common.

Set back from the street and concealed by a lush canopy of trees, the house makes a striking first impression. The wide entrance hall, framed by historic stained-glass windows, introduces the home’s abundance of original features and refined charm.

To the front, a sleek modern kitchen is beautifully finished with granite worktops and bespoke cabinetry. The heart of the home lies to the rear: A magnificent double reception room with ceilings exceeding three metres, flooded with natural light via expansive windows and sliding glass doors. This space flows seamlessly onto the outstanding mature garden which is rarely found in London, and which has been curated with an exceptional collection of exotic trees and carefully nurtured planting that offers year-round interest and serenity.

The garden also features a substantial garden room, accessed independently via a secure side entrance which is ideal for use as a professional workspace, creative studio, gym, or guest suite. Surrounded by the tranquil planting of the garden, it offers excellent privacy and flexibility without needing to pass through the main house. The garden itself is a true sanctuary, thoughtfully landscaped with a rare selection of trees and plants that have been carefully nurtured over many years.

The ground floor also offers a stylish WC, a separate shower room, and an additional flexible living area, currently arranged as an office with a separate conservatory/gym, leading out to the rear garden. This further highlights the home’s superb adaptability to modern living, while still maintaining the original look and feel of a period home.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises three elegant double bedrooms. The fourth bedroom could be utilised as a luxurious walk-in wardrobe, or child's bedroom. A loft is accessed from this room, creating further storage for growing families. The striking family bathroom is a true showpiece, complete with bold wallpaper and period features which are mirrored throughout this unique and beautifully appointed house. A second shower room holds a torch to the original Victorian building juxtaposed with modern fittings.

Offering nearly 2,500 sq ft (approx.) of carefully considered living space, this remarkable home is both a sanctuary and a statement—combining graceful design, refined detailing, and one of Wandsworth’s finest garden outlooks in a truly exclusive setting.
