5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Lyford Road, Wandsworth SW18

Offered to the market chain-free, this handsome semi-detached Victorian home on the ever-popular Lyford Road presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property with exceptional potential. Rich in original character and warmth, it has been a much-loved family home and is now ready to be updated and extended (subject to planning) to create a bespoke residence tailored to modern living.

Spanning over 3,200 sq ft, the house offers generous proportions across four floors, including a spacious reception room with ornate cornicing and bay window, a large drawing room overlooking the rear garden, and five well-sized bedrooms. High ceilings and period features such as decorative mouldings, fireplaces, and sash windows imbue the home with timeless charm.

To the rear, the magnificent 156 ft garden is a true sanctuary – leafy and tranquil with mature planting, meandering paths, and a greenhouse tucked to one side. The size of the plot further enhances the scope for extending, whether to the rear, side, or into the loft, subject to the usual consents.

A private driveway offers coveted off-street parking, while the generous front garden enhances the home's sense of privacy and curb appeal.

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Wandsworth, Lyford Road is moments from Wandsworth Common, sought-after schools, and the excellent transport links of Wandsworth Town and Clapham Junction.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a substantial freehold property in a prime location, with space, character, and potential in abundance.
