The layout includes a large kitchen/dining/family room and separate reception and study — flexible for family life and home working. A wine cellar and garage add practical luxury, while an 83' landscaped rear garden offers private outdoor space for children and entertaining.
The house is comfortable and characterful, with exposed beams, a brick fireplace and double glazing installed since 2002. Five bedrooms provide room for a growing family and guests; the principal bedroom and a second room have en suites, while a third family shower room serves the remaining bedrooms. Excellent local schools, easy access to Wimbledon Common, and low local crime make this a reassuring suburban location.
Buyers should note the house dates from 1930–1949 and has solid brick walls with no known built-in insulation (assumed). Some updating or improved insulation could be needed to modernise energy performance. Council tax is very expensive — factor this into ongoing costs. Overall, the property offers rare space and period character on a large plot in a very affluent area, suited to a family seeking proximity to top schools and outdoor amenities.
