Summary - Wessex Avenue, London SW19 3DT
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Three bedrooms with garden and clear scope to extend and modernise.
Chain free freehold on a quiet cul-de-sac in Merton Park
Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in Merton Park, this three-bedroom semi-detached house is a practical family home with clear scope to improve. The property is chain free and freehold, sitting on a decent plot with a southwest-facing garden that catches afternoon and evening sun. At about 1,066 sq ft, the house offers comfortable reception space, a separate kitchen and three well-proportioned bedrooms—suitable for growing families or buyers wanting extra space in SW19.
Constructed in the early 20th century, the house retains period character in its red-brick exterior and bay windows but shows clear signs of age internally. The kitchen is a dated mid-century fit with laminate units and tiled splashbacks and would benefit from modernisation. There is one bathroom only, so reconfiguration or an extension (subject to planning permission) could add value and improve everyday practicality.
Practical details favour straightforward occupation: mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing (unknown install date) and very low local crime. Conversely, the building fabric is solid brick with no known insulation and the property may need thermal improvements and a survey to confirm the condition of services. Council tax is noted as expensive, and buyers should budget for renovation and possible planning costs if extending.
For families, the location is strong: several nearby primary and secondary schools are rated Good or Outstanding, plus easy access to local parks, buses and leisure amenities. For buyers who want to add value, the plot and layout offer scope to extend and reconfigure (subject to planning), creating a larger, bespoke home in a very desirable part of SW19.
