This stunning Victorian terrace spans over 1400 square feet and is situated on the peaceful one-way end of Bellenden Road, a highly sought-after location in the most exclusive part of town. The property offers the potential for reconfiguration into a three-bedroom home, and with the appropriate planning permission, there is also the possibility of extending into the loft.
As you approach the property, a small front garden sets it back from the street, and the entrance exudes timeless elegance, befitting a period home. Inside, hardwood floors lead you into a spacious double reception area, complete with ceiling roses, a wood-burning stove, and a large bay window that embodies classic charm. The kitchen/diner, the heart of the home, has been fully extended to the side and rear, featuring skylights that ensure an abundance of natural light throughout the day. The centrepiece of this room is an island counter fitted with a gas hob. On one side of the kitchen, you'll find ample built-in storage, while the other side boasts a stylish double sink and additional storage units. The decked rear garden seamlessly connects to the kitchen, creating a delightful entertainment space that seems to extend endlessly during the summer months. A convenient downstairs toilet can be found tucked between the reception area and the kitchen.
Moving upstairs, you'll discover two double bedrooms positioned at opposite ends of the house, with the bathroom nestled between them. The front-facing main bedroom blends modern touches, such as built-in wardrobes, with the homely ambiance provided by the feature fireplace and bay window. The bathroom exudes luxury, showcasing a roll-top bath and a feature fireplace. The rear bedroom overlooks the courtyard garden and benefits from abundant natural light due to its dual aspect windows and a skylight.
The local area is renowned for its strong community spirit, with everything you could desire right on your doorstep. Located in close proximity to central London, you'll never need to venture far to find what you're looking for.

From beloved classics like Ganapati, The Begging Bowl, and Review Bookstore to newcomers like The Sourcing Table, Uva, and Bellenden Florist, you'll find something to suit every taste. The Victoria Inn and The Montpelier vie for the title of the best local pub, and for groceries, The Village Grocer is the go-to choice, known for its exceptional selection of fresh fruits and vegetables.
