Southside Common, Wimbledon, London, SW19

An impressive double fronted six bedroom property with wonderful views of Wimbledon Common in the heart of Wimbledon Village.

Description

This handsome detached house was built circa 1910 and is a fine example of an Arts and Crafts house which has been sympathetically restored whilst preserving the features and character of the period. The house faces Wimbledon Common, and all the principal rooms overlook the Common or the lovely landscaped garden to the rear.

The property is arranged across two floors providing excellent lateral space for both entertaining and family living. On the ground floor a wide reception hall leads to a formal drawing room and dining room along with a study fitted with bespoke shelving and cabinetry. Attractive oak flooring is fitted across the hall way and the reception space. To the rear is a contemporary kitchen featuring top of the range appliances with an open plan dining/living area with Crittall style windows allowing lovely green views of the garden. There is also a fully fitted utility room, a wine cellar and a guest cloakroom.

The house features a main and a secondary staircase leading to the first floor. The bedroom accommodation comprises an impressive principal bedroom suite with a luxurious bathroom with both a bathtub and a separate glass shower, a generous dressing room/nursery bedroom and a guest
suite with an en-suite shower room. There are four further bedrooms, a family bathroom and a shower room. A large loft of nearly 1,600 sq ft offers the potential to extend the square footage further, subject to planning permission.

All the windows have been re-fitted with modern double glazing but with leaded light windows faithful to the original.
There is a well designed detached single storey cottage at the end of the garden with separate pedestrian and vehicular access from Murray Road. This would be ideal for use as staff/granny accommodation, a separate office or a rental property with a private paved courtyard to the front and access to the main garden to the rear. The accommodation comprises a generous living room, with pocket doors to a contemporary kitchen/breakfast room, a double bedroom and a modern shower room, all with underfloor heating.

The house stands in a lovely landscaped walled garden with a large driveway with parking for several cars to the front whilst to the rear there are manicured lawns with well stocked beds and borders and a wide paved terrace perfect for outside entertaining with a bright southerly aspect.
