5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Tunley Road, London SW17

An attractive semi-detached Victorian family home on this popular residential street close to the amenities of Balham and a stone’s throw from Wandsworth Common.

Offering over 2,700 sq ft of accommodation and wider than average, the property has a wonderful formal reception room at the front of the house on the ground floor with high ceilings, a deep bay window flooding the room with natural light, dark stained wooden floors and an imposing period fireplace with a stone surround and a decorative tiled insert. A second reception room (currently used as a playroom) sits to the rear and, subject to obtaining planning permission could link through to the kitchen/dining room at the rear of the house.

The heart of the home is the expansive kitchen, dining and family space at the rear of the house. With a lovely English country kitchen feel to it, there are whitewashed floors with a country style kitchen to the side, lit from above by a large roof light. There is ample room to sit, dine and entertain and the conservatory provides a cosy and less formal living space, opening on to the garden. Access to an oversized cellar completes the ground floor accommodation.

Five bedrooms are arranged over the top two floors, with three double bedrooms on the first floor, including a bright, airy principal en-suite bedroom at the front of the house, together with a further shower room and WC. There are two further double bedrooms on the top floor and a family bathroom. A large loft storage space can be accessed from the top floor which, subject to planning could be converted to provide further living accommodation if required.

French doors from the conservatory lead to a wonderful low maintenance garden filled with a variety of mature trees, plants and shrubs, the perfect place for al-fresco entertaining in the summer months.

Tunley Road runs between Boundaries Road and Marius Road and is a stone’s through from the many and varied amenities of Balham High Road. Transport can be found at Balham station which provides quick and easy access to central London via Waterloo and to the City via Bank (Northern line). Tooting Bec station is also close at hand. The green open spaces of Tooting Bec and Wandsworth commons are within easy reach and there are an excellent selection of state and private schools nearby, subject to catchment and entry each year.
