A handsome four-bedroom Victorian house on Eland Road is on the market with The Modern House for £1,850,000.

Stone steps ascend to the raised ground floor entrance into the hallway. An impressive double reception room is immediately to the left, currently used as a living room.

Large folding doors in the middle of the room separate the spaces, with the living space walls painted in Farrow & Ball's soft blue 'Cabbage White'. A large fireplace is illuminated by light that streams in through a three-bay sash window with original shutters.

To the rear of the house is the office space. Along with copious amount of built-in bookshelves there is a handsome fireplace with a working woodburning stove and a huge bay window framing views to the garden below. Original timber floors stained with a dark hue extend underfoot.

Sensitive modern interventions made in recent renovations include a contemporary timber staircase that descends to the lower-ground floor.

At the rear of the plan is a dining area, where full-height black-framed doors open out to the garden, fostering a wonderful sense of flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.

In the middle of this floor is the kitchen, composed of striking blue cabinetry, fixtures and fittings in brass and steel appliances by Smeg and Samsung topped with white marble.

A utility room and pantry are hidden behind the kitchen (the pantry is concealed behind dark navy-blue doors).

Carpeted stairs ascend from the ground floor to a half-landing where a beautiful bathroom boasts marble walls, a Burlington sink and views over the garden.

Two bedrooms are found on the first floor and a further two bedrooms are on the second floor.

The current owners are avid gardeners and the outdoor space bas been immaculately designed, tended and maintained accordingly.

Immediately leading from the house is a paved patio area, the perfect spot for a morning coffee or dining alfresco when the seasons allow.

The garden then unfolds to a length of almost 20 metres, with Cottage and Mediterranean plants carefully curated to border a lawned area.

At the rear of the garden is a working vegetable garden and cedarwood greenhouse. Surrounded solely by neighbouring gardens, it is an oasis of calm.

Eland Road is a five-minute walk from Northcote Road and around the corner – less than a one-minute walk away – is Battersea Arts Centre.

There is an excellent choice of schools in the area including Thomas's Clapham and Battersea, Parkgate House School, Hornsby House and secondary Emanuel, as well as Honeywell and Bolingbroke Academy state schools, and the French school, L'Ecole de Battersea.

The house is approximately a 10-minute walk from Clapham Junction station which runs trains to Victoria in seven minutes and Waterloo in 11 minutes as well as Overground services to Peckham and south-east London in one direction, and Kensington and west London in the other.
