Occupying a prime position on one of West Putney’s most sought-after tree-lined streets, this elegant Victorian family home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a house of remarkable character, generous proportions and exceptional potential.
Lovingly cared for by the same family for decades, the house has been beautifully preserved and retains an abundance of original architectural detail, including ornate fireplaces, sash windows, cornicing, picture rails and original internal doors. Arranged over approximately 1,378 sq ft, the accommodation offers wonderfully balanced rooms, soaring ceiling heights and a genuine sense of space rarely found today.
A broad entrance hall leads to an impressive double reception room, where a beautiful bay window floods the space with natural light while uninterrupted ceiling heights continue through to the rear, creating an elegant and flowing living environment. The spacious kitchen overlooks a mature west-facing garden, enjoying excellent privacy and afternoon sunshine, while the existing cellar provides valuable additional storage and further scope.
Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged across the first floor alongside a family bathroom, creating an ideal layout for growing families. Subject to the usual planning consents, there is exciting potential to extend into the side return and convert the expansive loft, creating a substantial kitchen and family room together with additional bedrooms and bathrooms. Combined with the existing cellar, the property has the potential to exceed 2,000 sq ft, placing it amongst some of West Putney’s finest family homes.
Westhorpe Road remains one of Putney’s most desirable residential addresses, perfectly positioned moments from Lower Richmond Road, Putney Common and the River Thames. Excellent local cafés, restaurants and independent shops are all within easy reach, whilst outstanding schools including St Mary’s CE Primary, Hotham Primary, All Saints’ CE Primary and Putney High School continue to make this one of South West London’s most sought-after locations for families.
A house defined not simply by what it is today, but by everything it has the potential to become.
