"A set of steel-frame Crittall doors are positioned to the far end of the main living space, opening onto a decked terrace, shaded by one of the three mature apple trees."
This beautifully proportioned four-bedroom Victorian home occupies an excellent position on Milner Road, a quiet residential street, within three minutes’ walk of South Wimbledon underground station. The house has benefited from significant extension and renovation over the last six years, with an expansive ground floor extension transforming the quality of light and spatial experience across ground floor. A cleverly conceived loft extension added in 2017, houses an expansive master bedroom suite. The property now offers just over 1,500 sqft of internal living space set over three storeys, with a pretty secluded garden of 70 sqft to the rear.
The primary entrance leads through to the open-plan kitchen and dining room, an incredibly light space with skylights and panels of glazing allowing light to stream through. The industrial-style kitchen sits at one end of the space, with exposed beams and brickwork and reclaimed parquet flooring underfoot. A set of steel-frame Crittall doors are positioned to the far end of the room, opening the internal space out onto a sunny decked eating area, shaded by one of the three mature apple trees.
Leading from the entrance hall, there is a generous cloakroom with good storage space. A second reception room is positioned to the front of the house, with a log burner and joinered shuttering across a large bay window. Three of the four bedrooms are located on the first floor, each with original Victorian fireplaces, steel-frame Crittal windows and generous in-built cabinetry. The family bathroom, also on the first floor, has a well designed tiled wet room.
A timber staircase with modern glass balustrade leads up to a cleverly conceived loft conversion on the third floor, housing the master bedroom suite; an incredibly bright room with heritage skylights, expansive corner glazing and views to the garden. Every corner of the space has been well utilised, accommodating the ensuite bathroom at one end and to the other, a separate dressing room.
The landscaped garden offers several areas of interest; a lovely decked area adjacent to the house, surrounded by mature fruit trees and shrubbery. Raised beds and deep borders sit further back, with a solid Iroko garden shed at the far end.
The house sits within catchment for a selection of excellent state schools, including Ursuline High School, Wimbledon College and Rutlish School. Independent schools include King’s College School, Wimbledon High School, Hall School Wimbledon and Donhead Preparatory. There are also two primary schools nearby.
The local area offers a growing selection of independent coffee shops and restaurants and the green open spaces of Cannizaro Park and Wimbledon Common are within easy reach. The New Wimbledon Theatre, one of London’s largest Edwardian theatres, is a ten-minute walk from Milner Road.
South Wimbledon Underground Station is less than a five-minute walk away with direct links on the Norther line. District line services run from neighbouring Wimbledon Park and Wimbledon station is served by South Western railway and Thameslink. There is also easy access around Wimbledon via car, as it borders the A3.
