Situated on the highly sought-after Sarsfeld Road, this attractive Edwardian end of terrace house offers four double bedrooms, two reception rooms, a kitchen diner and a private garden, all within the coveted Nightingale Triangle.

The property already benefits from approved consents to dramatically increase the internal footprint:

•Wandsworth Council Case Ref 2023/2782 – Approval for a 6-metre rear extension with a height of 3.3m (eaves at 2.95m). This would create a generous open-plan kitchen, dining, and family space ideal for modern family living
•Wandsworth Council Case Ref 2023/2765 – Additional consent for an extension and alterations, enhancing the usability and flow of the layout including doors onto the garden

In total, the extensions would offer over 300 sq ft of new living space, significantly increasing both the practicality and value of the property.

Internally, the home retains original period features, high ceilings and bay windows. The two reception rooms offer flexible family living, while the rear garden provides a peaceful retreat with plenty of space for entertaining.
