Description

This terraced family home presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in a desirable location. While the property currently requires updating, its spacious layout and original period features, such as high ceilings, bay windows, and classic fireplaces, offer a solid foundation for creating a contemporary living space tailored to modern tastes. The ground floor greets visitors with a welcoming entrance hall that includes handy under-stairs storage. The layout flows from the bay-fronted lounge into a generous dining room, which features French doors leading to the garden, enhancing natural light throughout the space. A kitchen and conservatory extension further expand the potential of this floor. Upstairs, you'll find a bay-fronted principal bedroom alongside two additional bedrooms and a fitted bathroom. There's also convenient access to the loft, which could be transformed into additional living space or bedrooms pending planning permissions. Outdoor space is another highlight; the property is set behind a walled front garden and boasts a south-west facing private garden. With mature shrubs and room for landscaping, there's significant potential to create an inviting outdoor retreat that captures afternoon sun. Situated on a sought-after Parkside road in East Sheen, this home is just moments away from local shops, restaurants, and essential amenities. Mortlake Station lies within 0.6 miles, providing convenient direct access to Clapham Junction and Waterloo. Both Sheen Mount Primary School and Thomson House Primary School are also nearby, making the location appealing for families. Additionally, Sheen Common and Richmond Park are located within a short walk, offering ample green space for leisure activities. Overall, this property not only holds immediate charm but also promises considerable long-term value through thoughtful renovations or extensions.
