5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Nimrod Road, London SW16

Nestled on one of Furzedown's most sought-after streets, Nimrod Road is an elegant late Edwardian, spacious five bedroom semi-detached family home, thoughtfully maintained and full of period charm. With over 2,200 sq ft of accommodation arranged across three floors, this is a home that blends warmth, space, and timeless character with the potential to extend further (STPP).

The entrance hall opens to two bright reception rooms; one a formal sitting room with bay window and period fireplace, the other a relaxed family space leading to the kitchen. To the rear, a large open-plan kitchen and dining room forms the heart of the home, with French doors opening to a private, landscaped west-facing garden perfect for entertaining and everyday family life.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three double bedrooms, including a light-filled principal bedroom, and a newly fitted family bathroom finished in classic tiling. The top floor provides two additional double bedrooms ideal for children, guests, or home working, with scope to reconfigure or add a further bathroom if desired. Throughout, the home retains original period detailing fireplaces, cornicing, sash windows while offering scope to tailor to individual taste. The proportions, light, and flexibility make it a rare opportunity in one of southwest London's most consistently popular enclaves.
