This handsome period townhouse, nestled in a leafy pocket of well-heeled Wimbledon, offers London city living at its most refined. With swoon-worthy chandeliers and antiques, bookcases stuffed with classics, your very own grand piano in the living room, and an opulent dining room next door – you could live out your very own period drama in the elegant first-floor living spaces. But it’s an entirely different affair downstairs in the light-filled, sociable kitchen and family room, where period proportions have been reworked for seamless, modern living. Rustle up breakfast in the kitchen made for action, while loved ones spill out at the large extendable dining table or crash out in the family sofa area. Then step out into the south-facing garden, boasting a terrace area that’s perfect for summer dining alfresco. Sitting in a sunny spot with a glass of something chilled, surrounded by manicured circular lawns and verdant flower beds, you’d hardly believe you were in London. But take a stroll across the common and you’ll find the chic boutiques and bustling delis, pubs, and restaurants of Wimbledon Village (less than ten minutes on foot). Or, for a change of pace, roam the picturesque wilds of Wimbledon Parks, which... are just minutes from your door. And when the city’s must-see sights come calling, central London is actually only thirty minutes away by tube. So you really can have the best of both worlds here.

Local guide
About Wimbledon
It might well be most people's primary association with the area, but the truth is there's so much more to Wimbledon than tennis. With the wilds of the Common, plus verdant Richmond and Wimbledon Parks close by, and the village at the top of the hill, visitors would be forgiven for thinking they'd left London altogether. Central London is actually only 30 minutes away by tube so Wimbledon really does represent the best of both worlds. With its parks, leafy streets, period houses, excellent pubs and boutique shopping, it's little wonder that Richmond is so popular with affluent families.
