3 Bed Semi-Detached House, Sutton Grove, SM1

The space

The front entrance leads to large, airy lounge area to the right with rustic, original timber floorboards and cosy Victorian design, while to the left the timber floorboards continue to a relaxed entertaining and dining space with adjoining kitchen. A home chef’s dream with seven-burner gas stove and double oven, fridge, washing machine and plenty of storage space. The bathroom runs off the kitchen at the back of the property with large combined bath/shower, toilet, basin and heated towel rack.

Upstairs a hallway leads to three bedrooms, the main with built-in wardrobe and large, double-glazed window with new timber blinds. The second bedroom is also well sized with a window overlooking the back garden. The two main bedrooms are double sized, the main with a built-in wardrobe, while the third bedroom is a good size, perfect for an office or child's bedroom. Both the spare double bedroom and third bedroom have an open hanging decorative clothesrail.

The house has been freshly painted in neutral tones and decorated with new, modern furniture. There are timber floors and tiles throughout the downstairs, and in the main upstairs bedroom, and new carpets upstairs.

There is a private car park at the front of the property that allows space for two cars, making it easy for friends to come and say hello, with a side gate for bicycles. The garden is extensive with two locked sheds.

The neighbourhood

We are nestled between Carshalton and Sutton, a leafy and quiet area in London's Zone 5, with a friendly, local pub on almost every corner.

There is a small Tesco and M&S with garage within five minutes’ walk for essential daily needs and sleepy Sundays when you don’t want to venture far. Walk 12 minutes to Sutton for access to supermarket giants M&S, ASDA, Sainsburys and Morrisons. There is also a Waitrose at Banstead, just a 10-minute drive away.

For those who love to exercise, there is Fitness for Less and Westcroft Leisure Centre with indoor swimming pool and sports courts close by, as well as many green, leafy park areas just a 10-minute walk away.

The house is a short walk from Sutton high street with a busy street market on some days and high-street stores including Top Shop and Warehouse, Next, Debenhams, M&S, ASDA and DHS, with loads of bars and restaurants. Try the new Ebb & Flow bar and restaurant, the food is great, also the new Antic pub - it's a very up-and-coming area.

The buzz of lively hubs Balham and Brixton with their cool pubs such as the Hagen & Hyde and boutique eateries such as Franco Manca or the Brixton food markets is just a short train-ride away, as are Clapham Junction and Victoria with tube and bus links stretching every corner of the city.

Getting around

The house is a 12-minute walk (0.8 mile) to Sutton, Carshalton and Carshalton Beeches overground stations, with a 20-minute journey to Clapham Junction or a 27-minute journey to Victoria (fast, direct trains run regularly from Sutton). There are also easy links to London Bridge and Wimbledon Stations. The bus stop is literally a two-minute walk on Westmead Road (exit house and turn right until you hit Westmead Road and the station towards Sutton and Mordon is to your right) with links to the end of the Northern Line at Morden Station via the 154 (a 20-minute journey), which turns into a night bus allowing access from town around the clock. When existing the bus from Morden, listen for stop ‘Benhill Road’ which is closest to our home.
