5 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

This wide, semi-detached, three-storey, Victorian house, built in 1883, with handsome frontage and wide garden, is a superb and substantial family house in waiting (subject to obtaining permission to convert back to a single dwelling for which there is recent precedent locally). Currently arranged as two flats being sold together, each with a half share of the freehold, it offers huge potential and an exciting opportunity to extend, design and finish to ones own tastes. Situated on a premier road Between the Commons; a highly sought-after, exclusive and wonderfully quiet street just off Wandsworth Common, a quarter mile from the mainline train station and close to both Bellevue and Northcote Roads.The house has delightful proportions and some lovely original features. The ground floor flat owns the garden and has existing planning permission for a large extension into the side return. There is further potential to dig a basement here as many others have done on the street (STPP). The upper flat which has been further modernised, has already been extended at the rear but there may be further potential to develop and extend (STPP). The property has a wide sunny garden facing Northwest and benefiting from good afternoon summer sun with side access passage from the front, offering options for bike storage, cloakroom and utility area as part of any extension works.The property is just fifty yards away from the green expanses and recreational facilities of Wandsworth Common and is within easy reach of excellent schools such as Northcote Lodge, Honeywell, Thomas, Belleville, and Broomwood Hall as well as numerous local nurseries and the recently established Bolingbroke Academy. Transport is excellent with Wandsworth Common a quarter of a mile away providing direct trains to Victoria, Clapham Junction and London Bridge, whilst Clapham South Tube (Northern Line) and Clapham Junction are also within a mile. The 319 bus stops on the edge of the common giving direct access to Chelsea. Fashionable Northcote and Bellevue Roads are both close by and provide a superb selection of specialist shops, bars/restaurants and a thriving weekend street market.We are required to inform potential buyers that the property is partly owned by an employee of John Thorogood.
