Terraced house for sale in Burland Road, London SW11

Before long, un-extended “natural 3 bed” houses Between the Commons will be extinct so best to grab this very well-proportioned Victorian example with both hands. Positioned in the usual catchment area for both highly-rated state primary schools (Honeywell and Belleville), and in perfectly liveable condition, it would benefit from updating throughout and has huge potential to extend in all directions (STPP). It retains all of its charming original features and is positioned on a pretty tree-lined street off the fashionable Northcote Road, close to both Wandsworth and Clapham Commons and good transport links.

With basement “dig-outs”, loft conversions and side returns being undertaken left right and centre, it’s becoming increasingly hard to find an “entry-level” house Between the Commons these days. This unextended Victorian terraced house is a rare “natural 3 bedder”. It represents an exciting opportunity for substantial extension as both its loft spaces (front and rear) offer excellent potential for conversion into further bedroom / bathroom accommodation, whilst the kitchen can be expanded into the side and rear of the paved rear garden, if desired. In fact, the party wall of the adjoining property’s own kitchen extension already exists which will make a side return extension on this property easier, quicker and cheaper. The cellar also offers further potential for a full basement dig too.

The ground floor has stripped wood floors and high ornate ceilings through the hall and the lovely double reception, the latter also retaining both original fireplaces. The kitchen/breakfast room is almost 20’ in length and has ample space for a large kitchen table and is fitted with basic but neutral units in the rear kitchen area. This has a door onto the paved garden which faces northwest and so benefits from lovely afternoon and early evening summer sun. Presently the very bright and airy first floor provides three very well-proportioned double bedrooms and bathroom/WC over one split-level first floor.

Burland Road is a very popular and convenient residential street running between Webbs and Leathwaite Roads in the heart of the area known as “Between the Commons.

There are 2 highly regarded state schools very close by (Belleville and Honeywell) which are, in turn, both feeder schools for the excellent Bolingbroke Academy state secondary school. The property could, therefore, help secure your children’s free education throughout their schooling. Numerous nurseries and some excellent good private primary schools are also nearby in the local area. There is a residents’ parking scheme in place on Burland Road which covers the majority of the Between the Commons area. The recreational and green spaces of both Wandsworth and Clapham Commons are close by.
