The front door opens to an entrance hall with its attractive period fireplace and cloakroom. Beyond the entrance hall, there are three reception rooms, a spacious kitchen breakfast room and a large utility room/ studio space. The kitchen has a huge, glazed door which slides open to a terraced area, which in turn leads to one of the most impressive gardens in the whole of Streatham. The current owners regularly open the garden to the public, under the National Garden Scheme. The main body of the garden measures 144 ft long and over 82 ft wide. Given the generous size of the garden, it has been designed to incorporate numerous different zones all of which have their own individual charm and character.
Back in the house, there is a basement level which was excavated in 2008, this includes a playroom/ gymnasium, a kitchenette, a steam room, a shower room, storage and an indoor swimming pool. The pool is described as an “endless swimming pool” in which the swimmer swims against a jet. Excellent exercise and great fun for kids.
On the first floor, there are five bedrooms and two bathrooms. The bedrooms towards the front of the house benefit from the views over Streatham Common and those to the rear benefit from views of the Ripley House gardens. In addition to the off-street parking, there is also a garage which is currently being used for storage but could accommodate a car.
The house is ‘green" inside and out; featuring a luscious sedum green roof; wastewater recycling and automated garden irrigation; solar hot water heating; reverse cycle heat pump heating and cooling, (perfect for hot summers); automated external solar control awnings shading the South facing windows keeping the rooms cool.
Streatham Common Southside is a reasonably quiet road, running from Streatham High Road to Covington Way. The amenities of Streatham and Balham are nearby. There are a number of good schools locally (subject to entrance and catchment).
