Hartfield Road, London, SW19

Just a short walk from the heart of Wimbledon town centre, this beautifully finished two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment occupies the top floor of a smart, modern building and enjoys a generous private wraparound terrace - a real rarity in this part of SW19. With its elevated position, brilliant location, allocated parking space and light-filled layout, this home offers a fantastic balance between the buzz of the town and the laid-back charm of Wimbledon Village, just a short stroll away.

The terrace is undoubtedly the standout feature - wrapping around the living space and principal bedroom to provide an elevated outdoor retreat that feels both open and private. Whether it’s brunch in the sunshine, evening drinks with friends or just enjoying a moment of calm with skyline views, it’s a space that genuinely extends the living area and gives this home something special.

Inside, the apartment is bright and welcoming. The open-plan kitchen and living area has clearly been well cared for, with full-height glazing drawing in natural light and smart, integrated appliances set into a minimalist layout that doesn’t dominate the space. There’s room to relax, dine, and work comfortably - and both bedrooms are proper doubles, with the main bedroom benefitting from built-in wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room. The second bedroom also opens onto the terrace, making it ideal as a guest room, home office, or simply somewhere to enjoy a morning coffee with the doors open. A modern family bathroom and generous hallway storage complete the internal layout, along with practical touches like lift access and full-height glazing that makes the most of the apartment’s top-floor position.

Wimbledon station is just minutes away, giving you fast trains into London Waterloo in around 17 minutes, as well as District Line, Thameslink and Tramlink services. South Wimbledon (Northern Line) is also within reach, and the A3 provides easy road access out of town. Whether you’re commuting or escaping for the weekend, the connections here are superb - and the area’s also popular with cyclists thanks to quiet backstreets and easy access to the river.

One of the best things about this location is that you’ve got Wimbledon town on your doorstep, with its shops, cafés and transport links, but you’re also just a short walk from the Village - a different pace entirely, with a more relaxed feel, historic pubs and boutiques, and the open green expanse of Wimbledon Common to wander into whenever you like. In summer, the Common comes alive, with deckchairs outside the Hand in Hand and the Crooked Billet, people picnicking under the trees, and long walks from the edge of the Village down to Putney or Richmond Park. For Sunday lunch, the Fox & Grapes is a local favourite - booking ahead is essential - while the Dog & Fox and Hotel du Vin both offer excellent food and drinks in beautiful settings, with the Orangery at Hotel du Vin overlooking Cannizaro Park.

Back in the town centre, there’s something for every mood - whether it’s DJs and cocktails at 601 Queen’s Road (above Centre Court), a casual pint at The Alexandra (which turns into a dancefloor later in the evening), or brunch at Bliss, Brew or one of the many independents nearby. For fitness, Third Space Wimbledon has just opened and is fast becoming one of London’s top-tier gyms, joining Virgin Active and several boutique studios already popular in the area.

Wimbledon also has a strong sense of community - something that comes into its own every year during the Tennis Championships, when the whole town dresses up. Local shops create themed window displays, pubs and cafés put out big screens, and the area is filled with energy, colour, and the unmistakable buzz of summer in SW19. It’s a time of year that showcases Wimbledon at its very best.

This apartment offers the rare combination of location, outdoor space, private parking and well-proportioned rooms in a setting that gives you the best of both town and Village. It’s a great choice for anyone who wants a proper home in the heart of Wimbledon, with everything the area has to offer right on the doorstep - and just that little bit more than you expect when you step out onto the terrace.
