9, Mitcham Park, Mitcham, CR4 4EN

A genuinely rare opportunity to acquire a delightful, semi-detached, five-bedroom, Edwardian family home, with off-street parking and a substantial rear garden, situated in the heart of Mitcham.

This period home still retains many of its original features and has been a much loved family home for many years.

Enter the property via the front door which is actually located to the side of the house and leads into a large, entrance hall with solid wood floor that runs throughout the property.

To the left of the hallway are the formal living room and separate study, both overlooking the front of the property.

The beautifully proportioned living room has an expansive, bay window and beautiful, deep period coving with traditional picture rail and a tall, elegant, period fireplace.

Painted in a soft, summer-linen beige, the room is both light and airy yet one can easily imagine closing the curtains at night and enjoying cosy fireside chats.

Separate to the living room is an equally substantial family room, which would originally have been the drawing room, a place to retire to after dinner, with French doors leading out to a patio area and onto the garden.

Only slightly smaller in size than the living room there is once again a stunning period fireplace, with wood floors and an air of timeless elegance.

Towards the rear of the property, immediately behind the staircase is the functional and practical laundry room.

Beyond that you then enter into the kitchen, which initially may seem surprisingly compact for such a large house, but with its good-sized kitchen island, double-oven, butler sink and simple, shaker-style white cupboards, manages to serve up both period style with all mod-cons and also boasts a separate pantry; meaning that together with the separate laundry room, the kitchen is designed very much for cooking and not for mingling fresh laundry with breakfast bacon smells!

The kitchen is also open to the large dining room, spacious enough for a 12 -16 seater dining table and like the study has French Doors leading out to the garden, plus a separate ‘tradesman’s entrance’, and discreet, downstairs WC.

Back into the hallway, take the wide, carpeted staircase up to the second floor which consists of five, double-bedrooms, a family bathroom, shower room and separate WC.

The principal bedroom has pale, painted wooden floor, period fireplace and a charming balcony overlooking the front of the property.

The second, ‘main bedroom’ again has a feature fireplace, (as does the third bedroom) and all the bedrooms, including the ‘smallest bedroom’ which still measures a generous 8’3” x 12’11”; have ample room for a double bed and freestanding furniture.

The Family bathroom has a roll-top bathtub with shower over, white WC with high-level cistern and simple, white wash basin. And of course another, stunning period fireplace!

The shower room, which has a walk in shower, and as it happens another bath tub, and the separate WC, are both practical in décor with part-tiled walls and easy to maintain flooring.

Stepping into the garden, there is a large patio area the full width of the house which then leads on a lawn area and together they measure over a 97” (29.8 metres) x 35” (10.9 metres) at their largest points.

Needless to say the garden has hosted many family get-togethers from birthdays, wedding receptions and wakes.

As well of course as being a relaxing, private green-space away from the hustle and bustle of London life.

Situated on Mitcham Park this property is both tucked away yet at the centre of everything, being in one of those streets that no one really knows about and instead chances upon by accident.

While the property is in a residential area, it is still within walking distance of Mitcham tram stop and local bus services, as well as the popular Cricket Green and just moments away from local shops and amenities.

Putting it bluntly, this much-loved family home will appeal to buyers who want a ‘Merton Park’ style home but without the SW19 price tag, and with its generous proportions off-street parking and residential location, Turners are expecting plenty of interest and would advise any interested parties to book to view asap.
