Summary - 5 Southside Common SW19 4TG
7 bed 5 bath Detached
Spacious period family home on 0.4 acre overlooking Wimbledon Common.
Seven-bedroom detached Arts & Crafts house, circa 7,000 sqft
Set on a very large 0.4-acre plot in the heart of Wimbledon Village, this substantial early 20th-century detached house offers exceptional lateral living for a large family. The principal rooms face south-east onto Wimbledon Common, filling the generous reception spaces with natural light. Character details — leaded windows, multiple chimneys, bay windows and an Art Deco–style living room — remain intact alongside sympathetic modern updates such as double glazing installed after 2002.
Accommodation is flexible across roughly 7,000 sq ft: six principal bedrooms in the main house, four reception rooms and four bathrooms, plus a detached one-bedroom annexe cottage — useful for guests, staff or ancillary income. Off-street parking, mature private gardens and easy walking access (circa 200 metres) to Wimbledon Village amenities make this a convenient family base. Highly regarded local schools and excellent transport links to central London add to the location’s appeal.
There is further potential to extend subject to planning permission (STPP), making the plot attractive to buyers seeking additional space or bespoke refurbishment. Practical considerations: the property has an EPC rating of D and solid brick walls likely without historic insulation, and council tax sits at Band H, reflecting the high running costs associated with a house of this scale. Buyers should allow for ongoing maintenance and the cost of any substantial alterations.
Overall, this rare village plot combines privacy, character and sizeable living space for multigenerational family life, with scope for sensitive enlargement. It will suit buyers who value proximity to Wimbledon Common and local schools, and who are prepared to invest to personalise or enhance the house further.
