5 bed terraced house for sale

Acris Street, London SW18

An immaculate Victorian five bedroom family home.

Description
Set on a peaceful residential street of handsome Victorian houses with bay-fronted facades and leafy front gardens, this exceptional property offers over 2,000 sq ft of thoughtfully arranged living space across three floors. Bright, elegant, and immaculately maintained, it strikes the perfect balance between period charm and modern family living.

The ground floor opens into a welcoming hallway, leading to a spacious double reception room with ceilings spanning over 3m. A wide bay window with café-style shutters frames the front garden and floods the space with natural light. The room is thoughtfully divided by folding doors into two versatile areas: A formal sitting room with original cornicing, ceiling rose, a wood-burning stove, and bespoke display storage, and a second reception area ideal for family living or study space.

To the rear lies the showpiece kitchen and dining space - beautifully bright with multiple skylights, wooden flooring, and a sleek, all-cream finish. A substantial central island with white granite worktops, butler sink, and brushed brass tap provides both generous storage and breakfast bar seating. Integrated appliances and excellent cabinetry ensure a seamless, functional layout. Floor-to-ceiling doors open directly onto the south-facing garden, creating the perfect flow for family life and entertaining. The garden itself is both practical and private, with a paved terrace, artificial grass for year-round use, and mature planting along the rear wall. A downstairs WC is also conveniently positioned off the hallway - a rare and valuable feature in houses of this style.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts three bedrooms, including a superb principal bedroom with ceilings close to 2.9m, an elegant bay window, and extensive fitted wardrobes. One further double bedroom and a single bedroom on this level share a smartly appointed family bathroom.

The top floor adds two more bedrooms, including a second principal suite with eaves storage, and a contemporary shower room. A further family bathroom and additional landing storage, with washing machine and dryer neatly built into a cupboard complete the floor, maintaining a clutter-free home.

Additional features include a useful cellar on the lower ground floor, ideal for storage. Throughout, the home places strong emphasis on functionality, with clever storage solutions at every level, while maintaining a sense of light, clean lines, and beautiful presentation.

With its balanced layout, timeless period features, and immaculate interiors, this is a truly special home designed for both entertaining and everyday family life.
