Westfields Avenue, Mortlake

Behind the handsome façade of this Victorian house in the heart of 'Little Chelsea' lies, in effect, a brand new home. The property has been rebuilt from the inside out, with new joists, floors, wiring, heating and roof, full insulation including the party walls, and a new top floor added as a genuine additional storey rather than a loft conversion. The front door opens into a welcoming hallway with an oak and glass staircase. To the right on entering, the spacious lounge has beautiful wood flooring, a tall sash window and cast iron fireplace as its focal point. At the heart of the house, the extended kitchen breakfast room is made for family life and entertaining alike: Shaker style cabinetry, quartz worktops, a central island beneath designer pendant lighting, a butler sink and a full range of integrated appliances, with remotely operated Velux skylights drawing light deep into the room and underfloor heating beneath large format porcelain tiles. A run of slim framed lift and slide glass doors perfectly frame the garden and open the whole space to the outdoors in warmer months. A large utility and laundry room with excellent storage, a downstairs cloakroom and a pressurised hot water system complete the ground floor, planned with the practicalities of everyday living firmly in mind.
On the first floor are two well proportioned double bedrooms and a beautiful contemporary family bathroom with a bath, separate walk in shower, airing cupboard and underfloor heating. The newly added top floor is given over entirely to the principal bedroom: a calm and discreet private retreat beneath Velux skylights, with its own sleek, modern ensuite. Pressurised and zoned heating runs throughout the house. Outside, a walled front garden sets the house back from the street, while the landscaped rear garden is designed for easy, low maintenance living, with two patio areas, an artificial lawn and raised borders.
Offered chain free, this is a house that combines the character of a period home with the ease of a new build, in an outstanding South West London setting. Located on Westfields Avenue, this is one of Barnes' most desirable residential locations, particularly popular with families as Barnes Primary School is almost next door, with Little Chelsea, White Hart Lane, Barnes Village and Barnes Common all close by, as well as excellent transport links.
