About this property
Description
A charming and distinctive 2-3 bedroom semi-detached period home, perfectly situated on an attractive corner plot in the heart of SW14 near the 'outstanding' Thomson House Primary School. This unique residence exudes character and history, with spacious rooms, high ceilings, and a wealth of original period features, including sash windows, wood flooring and high ceilings, that create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Originally built in the early Edwardian period, this exceptional property has a fascinating history as it once featured a double-fronted shop. Over the years, it has been lovingly converted into a charming freehold home, and the current owner has cherished it for nearly 50 years.
The house benefits from a large basement, once used as storage space when the property operated as a corner shop, providing a versatile space with enormous potential. This substantial cellar could be fully converted, insulated, or adapted into a variety of uses, perfect for a home gym, playroom, cinema-room, or home office, especially appealing to creatives or those seeking a special extra space.
The living areas include a spacious lounge, a dining room, and a fitted kitchen/breakfast room that opens directly onto the garden, ideal for relaxing. Upstairs, a split landing leads to a generous master bedroom with triple sash windows and dual aspect, offering open views and a bright, airy feel. There's a large second double bedroom, a converted bedroom now functioning as an upstairs kitchenette, and a refitted bathroom. A standout feature of this home is the impressive basement/cellar, accessed from the ground floor hallway, which offers incredible potential for full conversion, insulation, or bespoke development. This expansive area is perfect for a home gym, creative workspace, or additional living space-truly a rare find. Further features include timber framed double glazed sash windows and gas central heating.
This house offers a unique opportunity for a discerning buyer to put their own mark on a historic, character-filled home with great potential.
