Wimbledon Common Unifamiliare

***Quote Ref: 804033 when calling***

This fine Victorian residence was built in the 1880s and was one of four houses on Camp View owned by a wood carver by the name of Knox whose work can be clearly seen on the facades. The property has many attractive original features including elaborate carved detailing, high ceilings in the main rooms, extensive sash windows, and the elegant staircase that winds all the way up through the house. The huge front windows are a particularly special feature of the house affording beautiful panoramic views to the west over the Common and golf course – it’s hard to believe that the West End of London is about 8 miles/12 km from the house.

The elegant versatile rooms offer plenty of space for a comfortable combination of family life and entertaining. To the front is an elegant reception room with feature fireplace with built-in cupboards and shelving either side and views over the Common. To the rear is the dining room, with an automatic ventilated roof and sitting room which opens into the smartly appointed kitchen with timber cupboards and integrated appliances plus a central island offering additional storage. The kitchen and dining room both open out to the rear terrace and garden. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility room and a guest cloakroom. The very useful cellar provides excellent storage for food and wine and in the past planning permission has been granted for the remodelling and conversion of this space and although now lapsed could be applied for again if required.

On the first floor the main bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and what is currently a large sitting room/study on the second floor enjoy westerly views out across the Common. There are four further bedrooms, a dark room and four bathrooms including the main en-suite, a walk-in closet and extensive loft storage space.

Outside, to the rear of the house, the generous garden is thoughtfully landscaped and pleasantly secluded and there is a separate studio at the end which be ideal as a home office/gym/ or guest accommodation. In addition, there is a carport, both of which are approached from a private access road.

Camp View is within walking distance of the Village with its boutiques, village shops, restaurants, cafés and bars. The area is well known for its excellent schools, several being within walking distance of the house, most notably The Study for girls and King’s College School. Recreational facilities nearby include golf, tennis, fitness clubs and riding stables. Central London is easily accessible by car using the A3, or the Mainline and District Line rail and underground stations in Wimbledon town centre (Waterloo 12 – 15 mins SR mainline). Heathrow and Gatwick airports are both within about an hour’s drive in normal conditions.
