5 Bedroom End of Terrace House, Waldegrave Road, London, SE19

This attractive double-fronted Victorian house extends to approximately 2,750 square feet across three floors, offering well-proportioned accommodation for a growing family. The property's prominent position and charming period facade create an impressive street presence, while the thoughtfully updated interior balances original character with contemporary family living.

This property is also offered as part of our ”Nova” service, so it comes with a building survey, gas & electrical safety checks, and the conveyancing is already complete and comes at no cost to the buyer* for more info see below.

The entrance hall welcomes you with original floorboards and decorative cornicing, setting the tone for the period features found throughout. A traditional staircase with painted spindles leads to the upper floors, while the hall provides access to both reception rooms and the heart of the home, which is unmistakably the gorgeous open-plan kitchen-dining space.

The front reception room retains its Victorian proportions and character, featuring a bay window that floods the space with natural light, especially in the afternoon and evening, given its west-facing aspect. The original fireplace with decorative surround serves as a focal point, and the charming wooden floors give the room a lot of character. It’s an ideal escape from the energy of the kitchen space and is large enough to accommodate plentiful furniture for larger families.

On the opposite side of the hall is the stunning kitchen and dining space, which has been opened up to create an impressive family hub. The kitchen features a substantial central island with a wooden worktop and deep blue painted base units, providing excellent prep space and storage. Shaker-style wall units in off-white complement quartz worktops, while integrated appliances include a range cooker and wine fridge. The original fireplace has been retained as a design feature, and ceiling-mounted pendant lighting adds warmth to the space.

The dining area flows seamlessly from the kitchen, with bi-fold doors opening onto the garden deck. This connection between indoor and outdoor spaces proves invaluable for family entertainment and everyday living, and we particularly love how the southern light floods this space in the early morning, creating a warm and positive atmosphere during breakfast time. A large, separate utility room provides additional storage and houses the washing machine and a downstairs WC.

The first floor accommodates three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is incredibly charming, with a period fireplace and wooden floorboards. It has an en-suite which is unmistakably modern, but has a classy heritage vibe about it. Two further well-proportioned bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for family members or guests.

The family bathroom combines style with modern functionality, featuring light grey metro tiles, a free-standing bath, and a large separate shower cubicle. Impressive in size and of course, finish, it also has a bright southern aspect, which is ideal for weary heads first thing in the morning!

The top floor houses two additional bedrooms, both of which are chunky rooms and benefit from good natural light, given their southern aspect. The attic storage space provides valuable additional storage for a family home, which is easily accessible from one of the bedrooms without having to use a ladder.

Moving outside, the southeast-facing garden proves a particular highlight, designed for low maintenance without sacrificing style. A raised timber deck extends from the house, creating an ideal entertaining space, while the lawn area beyond offers room for children to play. Mature planting and established trees provide privacy, with the thoughtful landscaping creating distinct zones to be used as you wish.

The property includes a cellar providing useful storage space, while the double-fronted design ensures excellent natural light throughout. Original features, including cornicing, fireplaces, and period fixtures, have been carefully preserved. Free on-street parking adds practical convenience to this freehold property.
