Melody Road, London, SW18

A wonderful family house with superb living space and a large West facing garden.

Description

Set on one of Wandsworth’s most desirable residential streets, this beautifully maintained five-bedroom home on Melody Road is arranged across four expansive floors and offers close to 2,600 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space. From the charming front patio, the house opens into a deep and inviting hallway, setting the tone for the generous proportions throughout.

To the left, a stunning double reception room spans the depth of the house, with soaring 3-metre ceilings, original cornicing, plantation-style shutters, and rich wooden flooring. The front section, bathed in natural light from a large bay window, is arranged as a formal sitting room, while the rear section provides a versatile second living area—currently used as a study and music room. This space flows seamlessly into the impressive kitchen/dining/living room, also accessed from the hallway, and designed for modern family life.

The kitchen features dark wood cabinetry, a central granite island with integrated sink, ample preparation space, and sleek tiled flooring. A series of large skylights fill the room with light, while glass French doors open directly onto a beautifully landscaped garden. This outdoor space begins with a paved seating terrace before stepping down to a lush lawn bordered by mature planting and trees, offering privacy and greenery. A round window from the kitchen provides a picturesque garden view, and a shed at the rear adds valuable outdoor storage.

The lower ground floor includes a further reception room, perfect as a playroom, home cinema, or snug, alongside a utility room with sink and additional storage, and a guest W.C.

The upper floors host five generous double bedrooms. The second floor features extensive eaves storage, while a large bay window enhances the first floor's main bedroom's sense of space and light. All bedrooms benefits from excellent storage, and the three well-appointed bathrooms across these levels ensure convenience for every member of the household.

Blending period character with practical, family-friendly living, this exceptional home combines elegant interiors, impressive proportions, and a serene garden retreat in a sought-after Wandsworth location.
