With its lovely wide plot this substantial and beautifully maintained family house provides very spacious accommodation in one of the most sought-after locations in Wandsworth. This handsome property has been renovated and extended in a tasteful and sympathetic fashion enhancing the beautiful period features that remain.

The house is an imposing three-storey “semi-linked” Victorian property built circa 1883-5 and is approached through a pretty front garden with a covered front return providing good storage for bikes etc. The entrance hall has the original fabulous stained glass door and ornate tessellated floor and has doors to the principal rooms. There are two generously proportioned separate reception rooms complete with sturdy marble fireplaces and ornate ceilings and these rooms operate superbly as a front dining room and rear sitting room. The latter opens through French windows into a wonderfully light conservatory / family room, and houses the wiring for a sound system throughout the main rooms on the ground floor and main bedroom. The front benefits from a wide bay window to the front garden. The 26’ kitchen / breakfast room links the hall and the conservatory / family room. It provides ample space for a large table and has an excellent working kitchen area with plenty of storage units (including space for fridge, freezer and utilities), smart granite worktops and an extra large stainless steel Britannia range cooker at its centre. The conservatory / family room is a wonderfully light space benefitting from the warm sunny aspect of the house and giving access onto the garden, which is absolutely charming. It is 27’ square and has been beautifully landscape-designed with brick and stone paving, mature shrubs and a discreet corner shed behind a pergola. It faces due south, is an absolute sun trap and also quite secluded from the back. The cloakroom / WC has a door and stairs down to an extended cellar which has been excavated beneath the front reception room. It now provides a superb proper wine cellar with cool slate floor and huge storage capability. There are also additional storage rooms alongside.

Upstairs there’s an excellent balance of bedrooms and bathrooms for a family. There are five double bedrooms plus a study / sixth single bedroom. The master bedroom has its own en suite bath / shower room plus good fitted wardrobes and there are two further bathrooms (one on each floor) serving the remaining bedrooms. The stairwell has been made especially light by the removal of part of the ceiling above and the installation of a large Velux skylight directly over. Furthermore an additional Velux has been added in one of the top floor bedrooms adding to the light and airy feel.

Morella Road has long been considered an outstanding location, as a quiet tree-lined street directly off the large green expanses and recreational facilities of Wandsworth Common. The houses are all sizeable family properties and there is most certainly an unspoilt consistent feel about the road and the way in which the houses have been kept. The specialist shops and bar/restaurants of fashionable Northcote and Bellevue Roads are easily reached on foot as are numerous good schools in both State and private sectors. Nearby Wandsworth Common mainline station accesses Victoria or Waterloo via Clapham Junction.
