Description
This exceptional Edwardian family home is within easy walking distance of both the High Street and Wimbledon Common.
The property offers excellent lateral living and entertaining space on a substantial plot with scope to extend, subject to planning consent.
The house is set back from the road behind a front garden and driveway. A large entrance hall creates a great sense of light and space. To the front is a generous reception room and a formal dining room. Both feature open fireplaces and bay windows allowing excellent natural light.
To the rear is an ample kitchen/dining room which features an original Poggenpohl kitchen with a larder/pantry alongside. There is also an additional sitting room with lovely garden views. This space could be knocked through to create an open plan kitchen/dining/living complex, subject to planning consent.
Off the hallway, there is also a utility room and cloakroom, and a large cellar.
The glorious private walled garden, bordered with mature trees and shrubs, includes a covered outdoor swimming pool and pool room. There is also a garage alongside with space for four cars and useful side access.
An easy rising staircase leads upstairs to a wide landing. On the first floor, a principal bedroom suite to the rear offers delightful garden views with an en suite bathroom and dressing room. There are also three further bedrooms, and a further bathroom. There is great potential to rearrange and remodel the existing layout.
On the top floor is an impressive roof terrace offering unbroken far-reaching views towards central London, an additional three bedrooms and another bathroom.
The only significant alterations to Number 8 since its construction in 1917 have been the addition of a front porch, which was added in 1929, and an elegant glazed seating area overlooking the garden on the first floor, installed in the early 1920s.
Location
Peek Crescent is a prime address located within 500m of Wimbledon Village. It was named after Sir Henry Peek, 1st Baronet (1825-1898), a philanthropist and member of parliament for Mid Surrey, who was instrumental in protecting Wimbledon Common in perpetuity. Sir Henry lived at Wimbledon House, a Georgian mansion which stood close to where Peek Crescent now lies. Wimbledon House was demolished in 1902 and in its place a handful of large homes in the Edwardian style were built, the most important of which are on Peek Crescent.
Wimbledon Village offers a wide range of shops, restaurants and bars, along with Wimbledon Common nearby, providing 1,000 acres of open land, perfect for riding, cycling and walking.
Wimbledon mainline railway station provides a fast and regular link to central London (17 minutes) via the overground and the underground (District Line) and is within one mile.
Locally are a number of excellent schools including King's College School nearby.
