Located on one of Wandsworth Common’s finest roads, this rare mid-19th Century villa is full of refined Victorian elegance, retaining many of its original features and with a south-facing garden.

Measuring c. 2,436 sq ft, and currently laid out with four bedrooms, this splendid house presents an opportunity to buyers to update to suit modern, family life (subject to the usual permissions).

The bright hallway leads through to the sitting room, with its fine arched sash windows, wooden floorboards, and the original Victorian stencilled walls, underlining an air of grandeur. The room features panelled sash shutters, also embellished with fine, Victorian stencil work. To the rear of the house, a large reception room spans the entire width of the house and offers great volumes. An ornate marble fireplace provides a focal point for the seating area, with a large sash window and French doors giving tremendous light, views and access to the south-facing garden. At the other side of the space, the dining area has built-in Victorian cupboards and leads through to the kitchen and pantry/larder beyond, with additional access to the garden. Of note is the original Gothic wooden porch at the rear of the house.

On the first floor are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. One of the bedrooms leads down to a space on the half landing, currently used as an artist’s studio, with a store room at the far end. This space could be extended, subject to the necessary permissions, to provide further accommodation. An additional double bedroom can be found on the second floor, with its own shower room. To the side of the property, a large store runs the entire length of the property and provides secure access to the garden from the street.

Wandle Road runs from Trinity Road close to the independent shops, cafes and restaurants of Bellevue Road and Wandsworth Common. There is a rich variety of architectural styles in the road, and it is very conveniently positioned for Wandsworth Common Station and the Northern Line Underground at Tooting Bec and nearby Balham.

The next steps...

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

  • They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
  • They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
  • Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
  • They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
  • They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
  • They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

  • You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
  • You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
  • Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
  • They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
  • Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.

If you have a property to sell, why not see how we can help you.
