First Time on the Market Since 1967 – A Rare Opportunity in the Heart of the Nightingale Triangle. Brimming with original features and full of potential, this property offers a rare opportunity to create a truly stunning family home in one of South West London’s most sought-after locations.
Set back from the road and approached through a beautiful stained-glass front door, the house immediately evokes a sense of nostalgia. Inside, the spacious entrance hallway retains its original coving and period detailing, offering a glimpse of what this home could become once restored to its former glory.
To the front, the main reception room benefits from a large bay window that floods the space with natural light, along with a decorative fireplace and generous proportions—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The second reception room, utility, and dining areas retain their 1960s charm and are ready for transformation. A lovely garden space that is screaming for a landscape gardener to bring their creativity in.
Upstairs, the first floor features a principal bedroom with a bay window, a second double bedroom, a family bathroom, and a separate WC that could be combined to create a larger bathroom suite. There is also a second kitchen on this floor, hinting at the property’s intriguing history.
The top floor offers two further double bedrooms, one currently used as a workshop. With many neighbouring homes having converted their lofts, there is excellent potential to extend and create a fifth bedroom (subject to the usual permissions). Throughout the house, you’ll find beautiful fireplaces, ornate cornices, and original detailing—a treasure trove for lovers of period architecture.
