Set within a mid-20th-century development between Wimbledon Common and Wimbledon Park, this exceptionally large two-bedroom apartment offers spacious, light-filled living across 1,293 sq ft. The open-plan reception and dining room open onto a private balcony; a separate kitchen and substantial hallway storage suit everyday family life. The principal bedroom includes extensive fitted wardrobes and a high-quality en-suite shower room, with a second double bedroom and separate bathroom completing the accommodation.
Outside, the development's well-maintained communal gardens (around four acres) and on-site visitor parking provide a rare sense of space for central London living. A separate garage is included—useful for long-term car storage or secure additional storage. A lift serves the building, easing access to the apartment level.
Practical considerations: the building dates from the 1950s–60s with solid brick construction and older double glazing; insulation may be limited. Heating is provided via a community mains gas scheme. Service charges are above average at £7,600 per year and council tax is described as quite expensive—factors that affect running costs and budgeting.
This apartment suits buyers seeking a generous, well-located family home or a high-yield rental asset close to excellent schools, green space and transport links. The long lease (share of freehold with around 960 years remaining) offers security and straightforward ownership, while the apartment’s scale and layout present clear scope for modest updating to reflect individual taste.
