Wandsworth Property

Buying advice for property searching in Wandsworth, London

This is now a well-established residential area, full of 'refugees' who have moved south of the river escaping the rising prices in Fulham. It has good schooling, with plenty of green space, quick and easy access to the City and a good supply of well-maintained family houses.

The main focus of family life is around Wandsworth Common with large semi-detached and detached houses. Particularly popular are Westover Road and the streets leading off it. On the other side of Wandsworth Common is Bellevue Road with its restaurants, galleries and boutiques making a rather attractive natural border with nearby Balham. In the middle of the Common is a grid of roads, known as 'The Toastrack', with houses backing on to the Common. Spencer Park on the north side of the Common is of particular interest, with large detached houses backing on to a seven-acre private park.

Whilst there is a good choice of pubs and restaurants in the area, the only real shopping is along Bellevue Road; otherwise, expect a trip across Wandsworth Bridge and into Chelsea. Public transport is limited; however, mainline stations are at Wandsworth Town and Wandsworth Common, both going into Waterloo.
