Full Description - Keating Estates are delighted to present to market this elegant four bedroom, two bathroom Victorian house with a South-East facing garden and detached garden office, ideally positioned on Sidney Road between Stockwell, Clapham and Brixton. Having undergone a comprehensive programme of renovation and building works, including a full rear extension and loft conversion, the house combines beautiful Victorian character with a thoroughly considered approach to modern family living.

From the outset, the property makes an excellent impression, set back from the street behind a pretty front garden framed by attractive iron railings. A gated pathway leads to steps and an elegant arched porchway, where a striking teal front door provides a particularly welcoming entrance. Original Victorian details have been carefully retained throughout, while the house has been comprehensively rewired and replumbed, with a new heating system and boiler, upgraded insulation, improved drainage and a new roof forming part of the works. Beautiful wooden double-glazed sash windows have also been fitted, with warranty.

The raised ground floor is home to an impressive double reception room, retaining original Victorian floorboards which have been professionally sanded and restored where possible, alongside a feature fireplace and wrought-iron radiators. Beautifully proportioned and filled with character, this is a wonderfully versatile space for both formal and relaxed living, with tasteful contemporary finishes sitting comfortably alongside the period detailing. High-quality Farrow & Ball and Little Greene eco and mineral-rich paints have been used throughout, contributing to the cohesive and considered feel. The versatile fourth bedroom sits to the rear of this floor, enjoying leafy garden views.

Downstairs, the heart of the home is undoubtedly the beautifully appointed kitchen diner, created as part of the substantial refurbishment. Bespoke, handmade solid-wood cabinetry, painted in Farrow & Ball Hay, is complemented by elegant brass handles, quartz worktops, a fluted butler sink and a range of Smeg appliances. Feature pendant lights define a central island and breakfast bar creating an attractive setting for everyday meals and informal gatherings, while solid oak parquet flooring with underfloor heating adds warmth and comfort underfoot. A walk-in pantry provides excellent storage, while cleverly concealed utility and laundry cupboards sit beside the garden doors, keeping practical elements discreetly tucked away. The kitchen flows naturally into a dedicated formal dining room, providing an elegant space for hosting, with French doors opening directly onto the garden, allowing the greenery beyond to become part of the everyday backdrop. A convenient WC completes this level.

Outside, the South-East facing private garden provides a beautifully landscaped extension of the living accommodation. A terrace immediately beyond the house creates a natural area for al fresco dining and entertaining before giving way to a lush lawn. Original bricks recovered from fireplaces and walls during the renovation have been thoughtfully reused to create a characterful garden wall, adding another layer of history and individuality to the outdoor space.

At the end of the garden, the detached garden room provides an excellent dedicated home office or studio, offering useful separation from the main house. Fully insulated and equipped with electricity and a wired Ethernet connection, it provides a genuinely practical year-round workspace.

Back inside, wooden stairs, complemented by a beautifully finished bespoke stair runner made in India, lead to the first floor, where bedrooms two and three are positioned either side of a particularly striking shower room. Natural stone and carefully selected finishes feature throughout the house, while the bathroom has been thoughtfully designed with a distinctive palette of soft white and peachy-pink tiles, brass fittings and an attractive painted vanity. An arched shower enclosure adds architectural interest, with heated towel rail and an elegant mirror completing this characterful space.

The top floor is dedicated to the principal bedroom suite, created as part of the loft conversion to provide a peaceful and private retreat. The bedroom retains its original flooring and benefits from useful eaves storage in addition to space for full-height wardrobes, while the adjoining bathroom is another highlight. A beautiful peach-coloured roll-top bath sits alongside a generous walk-in shower, finished with charming blue and white checkerboard tiling. Half-height panelling, a painted vanity unit, rattan-framed mirror and carefully considered detailing give the room a wonderfully individual and sophisticated feel.

Throughout, considerable thought has gone into preserving the character and atmosphere of this handsome Victorian house while comprehensively uplifting it for modern family life. The combination of original floorboards, fireplaces, sash windows and period proportions with a new roof, modern electrics and plumbing, underfloor heating, high-quality finishes and beautifully executed extension and loft works makes this a particularly cohesive and thoughtfully finished home.

Sidney Road is a charming residential street on the fringes of the Stockwell Conservation area. The location is fantastic, set within in the coveted Clapham-Brixton-Stockwell Triangle, boasting amenities to cater for all tastes.
