Why move to Wimbledon?
Wimbledon Common provides over 1,140 acres of open space and woodland perfect for country walks, pub lunches or horse riding available from local stables. A range of golf clubs and fitness centres cater for the sporting enthusiast. London's principal airports and the Home Counties are easily accessible with nearby road links to the motorway network.
Architecture and property
The Village has the most attractive Victorian homes on the roads between Ridgway and Southside Common, while The Grange is also popular. The Village has the most attractive and diverse number of substantial period homes. There are some truly grand detached estates, in and around Wimbledon Common, whilst there are a number of beautifully tree-lined streets extending to every corner of the Wimbledon area. The Hamptons Wimbledon branch covers a diverse area, including Wimbledon Village, Wimbledon Town, West Wimbledon, Raynes Park, Merton Park, Wimbledon Chase, New Malden and Coombe. The types of accommodation on offer range from period family homes – either detached, semi-detached or in terraces, contemporary new-builds, charming cottages and a choice of both purpose-built and converted apartments.
Green space
As the home of tennis, racquet sports are understandably popular, but the area is also a sporty place to live outside of the July tournament. Road cycling is popular here and joggers and walkers take great advantage of having Wimbledon Common on the doorstep – it’s a vast expanse of green totalling about 460 acres in conjunction with neighbouring Putney Common and Putney Heath. And of course, Richmond Park is close by and the Thames is readily accessible for walks along the river.
