Description

This expansive Victorian family residence offers a remarkable 2,766 square feet of potential, providing an excellent opportunity for both renovation and investment. Over the years, the property has been thoughtfully maintained and refurbished, showcasing many original features that contribute to its charm and character. With grand proportions and high ceilings, this home stands as an impressive canvas for new owners to imprint their vision. Upon entering, you are greeted by a bright entrance hall adorned in tasteful Farrow & Ball colors, leading into a generous drawing room. This tranquil space is perfect for showcasing art and elegant furnishings, complemented by a modern stone fireplace with a gas fire. The room also boasts original cornicing and a stunning chandelier that enhance its sophisticated ambiance. The dining room continues the theme of elegance with its luxurious silk wallpaper from Phillip Jeffries. French doors open to scenic garden views, and an original fireplace adds warmth to this inviting space. Adjacent to the dining area is the modern kitchen designed by Nolte, equipped with high-end appliances including an induction hob and double ovens. There is significant potential here for extension into a side return, allowing for further development or customization. The property includes a sizable cellar that can serve as wine storage or be transformed into additional living space—an attractive prospect for those looking to maximize the home's utility. Off-street parking is facilitated by a dropped curb, including gated access ideal for future electric vehicle charging installations. The outdoor areas are equally impressive. The front garden features double gates while the rear garden is an oasis filled with exotic plants and multiple seating areas surrounding a koi pond—a space that has been lovingly cultivated over the years. Offering six bedrooms in total—with two currently serving as a TV room and office—there's ample flexibility in how these spaces can be utilized or reconfigured to meet your needs. Two modern bathrooms on separate floors are well-appointed with stylish tiles and fixtures. On the top floor, you’ll find a cozy cinema snug perfect for family gatherings as well as a dedicated laundry room and office/library space equipped with ample shelving. Located on Lewin Road within the serene surroundings of Streatham Common, this property benefits from easy access to local transportation via nearby stations. The close-knit community enriches neighborhood life through active communication channels and communal events such as street parties. Education is also well-catered for in the area, with nursery options available at Cavendish Lodge and proximity to esteemed schools including Bishop Thomas Grant Catholic Secondary School—recognized as outstanding by Ofsted—and other prestigious institutions within Dulwich Estate
