Fentiman Road, Oval, SW8

Winkworth have the pleasure of introducing this elegant five bedroom family home in the late Georgian style (built 1838), on Oval’s prestigious Fentiman Road.

Walk up the steps, from the private off street parking area in the drive, into an entrance hall; where you will find an area to hang up coats. On the right is a stylish and bright double reception room, with high ceilings and the original wooden floorboards. There is plenty of space for large sofas and armchairs around the room, surrounding the beautiful fireplace. The light floods into the room through the sizeable windows, which have the original shutters. There is plenty of space to store an extensive collection of books with an abundance of shelves around the room. The rear reception room has French doors, which have steps that lead down into the garden. There is also a W.C. on this level.

As you go down a level, to the lower ground floor, you are greeted by a fantastic kitchen and family room. The kitchen has room for a large dining table (to seat 8 to 10) and on the opposite side of the room, you can fit a couple of sofas around the wood burning fireplace, which has exposed brickwork above. The kitchen has a walk-in larder and a vast amount of storage space for all your kitchen utensils and general kitchen appliances including a dishwasher, oven and gas hob.

Just off the kitchen there is a large utility room with additional storage. Conveniently, there is also a W.C with a sink for the downstairs area.

You have access to the serene patio garden from this lower ground floor level. It is a mature garden with a walnut tree, wisteria and rose beds and plenty of room for tables and chairs and a barbeque for outside dining. One of the advantages of this house is that there is planning permission for the demolition of the existing rear extension with the erection of a single storey rear/side infill extension at lower ground floor and erection of a new rear extension at ground floor level. You can find the full planning agreement on the planning website from this reference number: 16/01387/FUL.

At the back of the garden there is a wonderful studio or cabin home office, which can accommodate a desk, chair and sofa alongside another warming log burning fireplace on the splendid wooden floors. This space is insulated and wired for the internet and a real treat for anyone wanting to escape the house and have their own area to relax or work in.

Going back into the house and up the carpeted stairs to the first floor, you find a large guest bedroom on the left. It has great high ceilings, wooden floorboards, space for a double bed and a view over the garden through the large sash windows. This allows the room to fill up with light, even on the gloomiest of days. You also have a walk-in airing cupboard next to the bed.

The master bedroom is also on the first floor and consists of the high ceilings and wooden flooring just like the guest bedroom. It maintains the large windows and original shutters and has space for a king size bed and multiple drawers. In addition to the space, you have your very own walk-in wardrobe hidden away. You also have the benefit of having an en suite, which is a white tiled suite, comprising a W.C, bath with shower above and a sink with storage space below.

From the master bedroom you walk up the stairs to the top floor landing leading to the remaining three bedrooms. The smallest of the three, is a single carpeted children’s room with space for a single bed. Although the room is small it still has the mighty high ceilings and a large window.

Bedroom two is a double room with built-in storage. The floors are identical to the master bedroom’s original floorboards and you have adequate floor space to fit another chest of drawers.

The last bedroom is a double bedroom with carpeted floors and built-in storage. This room also benefits from views of the garden.

The upstairs has the advantage of having a very large, white, tiled family bathroom. There is a bath with a rainforest shower above, sink and a W.C.

Lastly on this floor is a large storage cupboard, which can store towels and sheets and you will also find the boiler neatly tucked away in the corner.

Fentiman Road is located between Clapham Road and South Lambeth Road and benefits from supermarkets, shops, pubs and amenities, all a short distance away. The Fentiman Arms, being one of the most well known and favourite pubs in the area, is just a stone’s throw away.
