Perfectly nestled on a quiet residential street, this classic London terrace is just moments away from handy tube stations, and Clapham Common is very closeby, too. So, whether you’re planning on a spot of retail therapy in the city centre, or you’re looking for a soothing green space to enjoy a morning run, you’re in the ideal spot. From the outside, this home is picturesque. With a charming Victorian porch surrounded by luscious shrubs, the welcoming exterior offers a small taster of what’s inside. Fusing traditional features with contemporary finishing touches, this place is the perfect blend of old and new. Downstairs, the old fireplace is flanked by a pair of snuggly tub chairs, meanwhile the open—plan kitchen and dining room is kitted out with everything you could ever need to enjoy a cosy evening in with family and friends. Fancy some fresh air? With bi–folding doors opening out onto a flourishing green garden, there’s no better place to enjoy a barbecue or pre–bedtime nightcap beneath the stars. The simply–styled bedrooms promise to keep you cosy and snug when night falls, and the statement chandelier in the master bedroom adds an instant touch of luxury to the place. You’ll also... find a juliet balcony on the top floor bedroom, too, allowing you to gaze out into the open whilst you sip your morning coffee – bliss! If you're visiting during the wintertime, be sure to take a trip into central London to admire the Oxford Street Christmas lights before returning to your cosy home–from–home. With underfloor heating, there’s no better place to warm your toes after a chilly day outdoors!
