Wandsworth Idyll, by Veeve

Eager to combine plush family living with a modicum of countrified charm? Luckily, we’ve found just the thing. Moments from the sweeping greens and soothing waters of Wandsworth Common, this masterful family home brings the outside in with a contemporary extension that majestically flows out to an impressive, verdant garden. You’re certainly guaranteed the best of both worlds here. Safe in the knowledge you’re only a short train journey away from the city's most iconic landmarks, embrace the best in suburban living from the comfort of this captivating corner of southwest London...

An immense sense of space abounds throughout the sumptuous ground floor, starting in a double living space, incorporating a master reception area radiant in snug, tactile carpets and cultured wall art. Inviting lighting beckons you impulsively towards the adjoining formal dining space, tailor made for an evening of conversation alongside great company.

Beyond this space, lies this home’s jewel in the crown: a spectacular voluminous extension, incorporating a contemporary kitchen and dining area. As an ode to magisterial modern design, its celestial skylights, light wood floors, double-height ceilings and sensual white worktops all combine to bring a Hamptons vibe to proceedings.

A wall of bi-folding doors submerges the space in natural light and fuses the inside with the glorious garden beyond. Stepping outside, you’ll instantly fall under the spell of the gorgeous terrace and lawn. Skillfully screened from prying eyes by verdant ivy and wisteria that cascade over a partitioned wall, you’ll be able to admire the sunset in complete serenity. An idyllic multi-functional space for all the family, the only dilemma here on summer evenings will be who takes charge of the barbecue while the rest of you take in the view from the terrace...

Back inside, harmonious pastel hues and luxurious carpets infuse all three bedrooms with an instant atmosphere of relaxation. In the master suite, stir gently to winsome views through elegant, shuttered windows, before enjoying a rejuvenating soak in the free-standing bathtub that adds a touch of indulgence to the en-suite bathroom.

Early risers in the second and third bedrooms can hit snooze and catch some precious extra shut eye to the sonorous hum of birdsong resonating from the garden below. With two sleek and spacious family bathrooms on the upper floors, there’ll be no jostling for the shower once the household springs into life. Aspiring writers may also find the amenable garden outlook stirs the imagination in the home office hideaway, discreetly tucked away on the top floor.
