Parkside Gardens, Wimbledon Village, SW19

This substantial Edwardian detached house is set back from the road with an in and out driveway offering plenty of off-street parking together with a garage to the side. The property offers generous, well-planned living and entertaining space over three floors with the main reception rooms and hallway having parquet flooring and high ceilings with ceiling mouldings, with particular reference to the very impressive rear reception room which was originally designated as a billiard room or ballroom. Entered via a glazed entrance porch and in turn into a spacious hallway with coat cupboard, to the front of the property are two reception rooms, one of which is currently used as a study, the other with an elegant marble fireplace and bay window. The formal dining room has a glass covered sunken spiral wine cellar and to the rear is the elegant reception room with French doors to the rear garden, exceptional ceiling mouldings and a fireplace. The Mark Wilkinson kitchen/breakfast room has an extensive range of units, integrated appliances and central island and has doors opening out onto the terrace. The house also benefits from a large utility/boot room conveniently located off the kitchen, and a guest cloakroom.

Upstairs on the first floor is the main bedroom suite with dressing room and en-suite bathroom with free standing bath; three further bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. The second floor comprises two bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms and excellent eaves storage. All the bedrooms are doubles of generous proportion with plenty of cupboards and storage space.

The delightful rear garden has the benefit of exterior lighting with a full width terrace adjacent to the house with large lawn, well stocked shrub borders and water feature. There is a gate off the terrace to an enclosed side courtyard suitable as a play area or for additional parking for several cars with double wooden gates and pedestrian gate to the front driveway. There are some useful timber outhouses to the opposite side of the house, one currently used as a small gym.
