Terraced house for sale in Mount Ephraim Road, London SW16

This spacious, late Victorian house stands in the middle of a short and distinctive terrace, within moments of the High Street and only 5 minutes' walk from Streatham Hill Station.

The spacious interior is arranged over 3 floors, boasting an impressive entrance with stained glass windows, a wide hallway with original floor tiles, broad landings and an elegant staircase, illuminated by a feature skylight.

The secluded South facing rear terrace, leading out from the cosy sun room, enjoys ample natural light from dawn to dusk and is large enough for a family either to relax in peace or to host a party for 50 of their closest friends.

The spacious kitchen-dining area is the natural focal point of the house, while the elegant front sitting room, with its large windows sheltered by versatile Plantation Shutters and the convenience of a gas connection to the original fireplace, offers a relaxing retreat.

Other areas of the house could be enhanced significantly by some thoughtful upgrades, which is reflected in the selling price: The cellar has potential to adapt for numerous purposes, suggestions ranging from installing a recording studio to storing a lot of wine a day the utility room/WC (beyond the kitchen) is functional but would benefit from consolidation and modernisation.

The first floor comprises two generous double bedrooms, one with ensuite bathroom, a full-sized bathroom and a smaller guest bedroom/office, all leading off the broad landing.

The top floor is currently used as a self-contained guest suite; its airy bedroom overlooks mature trees and gardens and has its own full sized bathroom and generous landing area with skylight above. This area has generated reliable Airbnb income at all times of the year.

There is also substantial undeveloped, accessible loft space, which has conversion potential to combine with the existing space to create a split-level apartment of approximately 58 sqm (624 sqft).

The current owner intends to downsize and move to the South coast and is flexible concerning completion schedule.
