4 Bedroom House in Nightingale, Balham
Situated footsteps from Wandsworth Common, this entrancing family home offers a compelling showcase in contemporary living with its gloriously green colour palette, romantic home cinema and imaginatively styled garden.
Instantly capturing this property's irresistibly voguish charm with its polished interiors and soft mood lighting, the plush living area plays host to two velvet green armchairs and sofa. Here, a traditional fireplace and characterful fireplace only heighten the elevated mood. Intelligent zoning ensures an effortless fusion of living spaces as you emerge into a secondary reception area that exemplifies contemporary living. Mesmerising in its medley of yellow and green, this reposeful entertaining space comes replete with a leather sofa and armchair, fireplace, quilted leather ottoman, grandiose bookshelf and TV.
Avowedly contemporary in style and abundant in natural light, the fully equipped kitchen further underscores this home's intelligent adoption of colour with its strident tones of indigo blue contrasting seamlessly with light parquet floors. A circular dining table with Eames-style chairs offers gracious views across the garden, harmoniously at one with the house and expertly equipped for entertaining with its modernist outdoor seating area and spacious lawn. Film buff? Cosy nights in are simply made for the home cinema room on the lower ground floor, atmospheric and inviting with its plush L-shaped sofa and projector.
An alluring feature wall and ornamental pottery brings an artistic flavour to the principal suite, replete with a king-sized bed, two built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower, wash basin, WC, and large mirror. Hosting a double bed, the second bedroom offers a TV and generous storage and can be used as an additional reception space by day. Serene in sky blue and embellished by a characterful fireplace, the third bedroom presents a double bed, wardrobe and quilted leather chair. In the eaves, you'll find a charming bedroom with a mezzanine bed reached by ladder, instantly restful with its sloped ceiling on one side and skylights above. Monochrome tiles bring a chic vibe to the family bathroom which comprises a bath, overhead shower, wash basin and toilet, while the separate WC is imbued with colour by notes of navy blue.

Home truths:
No smoking, pets or parties! A dog is one of the family members who usually lives here. Although every property is cleaned to a Veeve standard, please note this property may not be the best fit for those with allergies. Please be aware, the first bedroom and mezzanine sitting room have been updated, with new photos to follow. Although we always endeavour for accuracy, there may be rare occasions where the listing photography and description do not provide an exact representation of the home's amenities.
Please note, Veeve homes are lived-in homes, which we think adds to their charm! Guests should, however, expect to find homeowner belongings and personal items within the property.
