Best In Class

The property market in south-west London is booming and Nappy Valley never loses its appeal to current and would-be residents. With so many fantastic opportunities in the area, we’ve asked our property partners for their ‘best in class’ that really show why this neighbourhood continues to thrive.

Battersea

Battersea Church Road, SW11

Beautifully refurbished and designed by the architect-owner, this exquisite townhouse is positioned right by the Thames. Sympathetically designed with both modern and period features, the house welcomes you with a grand hallway and the sophisticated design runs throughout. It is close to Thomas’s School, so perfect for a family, and is also part of a gated development with a rare off-street parking space and communal gardens, plus a private patio garden and terrace.

Barnes

Westmoreland Road, SW13

This exceptional four-to-five-bedroom family home has been architect-designed and refurbished to a very high standard. The house offers superb contemporary living and entertaining space with premium custom finishes and fixtures throughout. Westmoreland Road is a sought-after road in the heart of Barnes Village which offers a range of shops, restaurants, bars and the Olympic Cinema, as well as Barnes duck pond, green and common and the River Thames towpath, wonderful for walks.

Clapham Common

Manchuria Road, SW11

For decades, the beautifully maintained family houses of this delightfully quiet street off exclusive Clapham Common West Side have been popular with the hordes of City commuters hopping on the Tube at Clapham South. But not only is this fully-extended gem one of the wider properties on the road, it also boasts a sunny, south-facing garden and an enviable position at the leafy end, right by Clapham Common. Win, win!

Elspeth Road, SW11

With the price of two-bedroom garden flats seemingly sky-rocketing, why not skip a ladder-rung by creating your own? This spacious, ground-floor, one-bed flat, with west-facing garden and no onward chain, is an ideal starting point and comes with clear and present potential to extend to the side and rear (emulating the three adjacent properties). You’ll be adding square footage, value and a style of your choice in the process. Even better, if you complete your purchase pre-1^st April next year (thank Sir Keir!), you’ll also be saving a lump of cash from the stamp duty holiday to spend on the improvements.

Briarwood Road, SW4

An incredibly light and spacious family house which is appreciably wider-than-average. Having been extensively renovated from top to bottom to the most exacting of standards, this home will appeal to those looking for a finish that can easily be called, ‘best in class’. Briarwood Road is a sought-after residential street just off Abbeville Road, making it convenient for the independent shops, cafés, bars and restaurants in Abbeville Village, plus the transport, amenities and open spaces at Clapham Common.

Winfrith Road, SW18

Located on a friendly and sought-after residential street in the heart of Earlsfield, this four-double bedroom family home is well-located for the vibrant life on Garratt Lane as well as excellent transport links into central London and several popular schools. With a south-west-facing garden, the property presents a fantastic sense of light and space throughout with a beautiful balance of period features and modern finishes. There’s a luxurious stand-out bathroom with freestanding bath and walk-in shower, a separate dressing room, and best of all is the fully-extended, bright open-plan kitchen with bi-folding doors leading onto the garden.

Bassingham Road, SW18

This family home, located on a quiet tree-lined street, has much to offer both inside and out. Perfectly blending period character and modern elegance, it’s a beautifully presented property with a standout, luxurious marble bathroom. It’s worth taking note of the pretty Juliet balcony overlooking the south-west facing garden.

Heaver Estate

Elmbourne Road, SW17

If lateral space is what you’re after, this 4,000 sq ft house on the Heaver Estate is a prime example of a double-fronted property typical of the area. With two receptions rooms, a wine cellar and lots of storage, it’s an impressive family home. The principal suite on the first floor offers incredible views over Tooting Bec Common, and there are six further double bedrooms.

Wandsworth Common

Morella Road, SW12 

Aside from its exceptional location on the sunny side of this prestigious, leafy street directly off Wandsworth Common, this beautiful house represents a great purchase for a family. With so many basement extensions looking onto a blank brick wall or at best a lightwell, this stand-out example allows you – or more importantly your children – direct access up to the garden via outside stairs from the playroom/family room. Not only that, but the large kitchen has a window down to the lower floor meaning you can keep an eye on what they’re up to!
