Positioned on a peaceful residential street in Wimbledon, this three-bedroom house has undergone an immaculate renovation in recent years. Executed by architects Prime Build, the works have seen the creation of voluminous spaces defined by a tangible sense of light and flow. A brilliantly easy-to-maintain garden extends from the rear, facing south and thus receiving a beautiful quality of light throughout the day. The house is walking distance from Wimbledon Village and positioned near a selection of excellent parks and schools.

The Tour

Nestled within a traditional Victorian terrace, the red brick frontage of the house has been painted a calming shade of light grey that hints at the contemporary home within. The house is set back from the street behind a garden, which is shielded by bushes and home to a mature olive tree.

The ground floor living spaces flow seamlessly towards the rear garden, with a dining area at the front and a kitchen/living area, delineated by a few steps, down at the rear. Here, ceilings extend to over three metres high, creating a wonderful sense of space. Light, pouring in from the south through glazed doors that open to the garden, flows over the engineered oak floor; underfloor heating extends throughout. Cabinetry is concealed behind white fronts that add to the bright atmosphere.

The bespoke kitchen, by Naked Kitchens, is home to integrated Miele appliances and a Quooker boiling water tap. Marble worktops sit atop dark grey cabinetry, creating a smart contrast, while off-white cabinetry above seems to disappear into the ceiling. An island renders the space extremely sociable and allows for further storage.

The first floor has two bedrooms, plus an office space concealed neatly on the landing. Both bedrooms contain ample built-in storage solutions; all of the wardrobes have beautiful reclaimed leather handles. The bathroom on this floor is installed with fixtures and fittings by Hansgrohe and Duravit, with smart marble floor tiles grounding the space.

Crowning the house is the main bedroom suite, a beautifully bright space with windows on both aspects. Air conditioning ensures the room stays cool in the warmer months, and secondary glazing on the street-side window creates a quiet atmosphere. There is a wall of full-height wardrobes, plus further storage concealed within the eaves. The en suite shower room is hidden behind a pocket door and has the same fixtures and fittings, by Hansgrohe and Duravit, as the downstairs bathroom.

Outdoor Space

The beautiful Mediterranean-inspired garden is wonderfully low-maintenance. The space is south-facing, so it receives an abundance of sunshine throughout the day, which falls onto a selection of evergreens and climbing roses. There is a paved seating area at the front, which makes the perfect spot for alfresco dining in the summer months.

The Area 

Faraday Road is a tranquil, tree-lined street in Wimbledon, one of London’s most sought-after areas. Sheltered from the noise of Central London, the neighbourhood has a distinctly village-like atmosphere and a growing selection of independent coffee shops, restaurants, and entertainment on every street. DropShot is a speciality coffee shop perfect for a pitstop, and The Garden Shed pub is close by for a quick pint.

Famously picturesque, the area reveals green spaces around every corner, the closest of which is the beautifully landscaped South Park Gardens. A walk over the River Wandle leads to Wandle Meadow Nature Park, a lovely place for a stroll or to kick a ball. Haydons Road Recreation Ground, which has a small playground, is another handy green space, used for multiple sports and events.

A 15-minute walk to the centre of Wimbledon passes many enticing stops, including The New Wimbledon Theatre, one of London’s largest Edwardian theatres, and Centre Court Shopping Centre. There are a wide range of shops and eateries here, as well as a Curzon cinema.

A stroll to Wimbledon Village leads towards Cannizaro Park, on the south-western edge of Wimbledon Common. It is known for its ornamental landscaped gardens, which are dotted with sculptures and ponds. Wimbledon Park, with its stunning lake and well-known tennis club, is also within easy reach.

The house sits within the catchment for a selection of excellent state schools. The Ofsted-rated ‘Outstanding’ Holy Trinity primary school is a few minutes away; Garfield Primary School is a short walk and Ursuline High School, Wimbledon College and Rutlish School are all nearby.

Wimbledon underground/train station is a 17-minute walk from the house. Haydons Road Station is an eight-minute walk away and connects to Central London via Thameslink. It is one stop away from Wimbledon, which links with National Rail services and the District underground line. South Wimbledon, which provides quick Thameslink connections to Waterloo, is around a 10-minute walk away. Colliers Wood, accessed in under 10 minutes by foot, is handy for Northern underground line services. There are many excellent bus links in the area and easy access around Wimbledon via car, as it borders the A3.
