Mayfield Road, London, SW11

Possessing infinite charm, the property has recently undergone an extensive scheme of renovation works bringing it up to an exceptional standard, and therefore benefits from being move-in ready.

Overview
Adorned in mature foliage in keeping with everything Wimbledon is most revered for, Mayfield Road harks back to an era when house building was an esteemed process. Evidence of which has been captured in the original floor plans of the property, which were drawn up by renowned architect, Henry Goodall Quartermain, who not only designed many buildings in the area, but was also responsible for developing the Merton Park garden suburb on behalf of John Innes.

Offering property hunters the best of both worlds, the home retains much of its original quaint charm, which is evident in its architectural flourishes and features that are reminiscent of a bygone era. Yet by the same token, the property requires no remedial works to be able to experience an exceptional standard of living, as extensive renovation works have ensured the usable space, and indeed enjoyment of the home have been maximised for the benefit of the new owners.

A quintessential Victorian characteristic, leafy green hedging neatly frames the front exterior grounds of the property. An original front door embellished with a stained glass window leads into the ground floor living quarters.

The entrance hall initially connects to a living room and a study. Both spaces benefit from the ingenuity of Quartermain's original foresight, particularly in terms of the presence of the large double-storey bay windows, which flood the home with natural light. The addition of herringbone flooring and built-in cabinetry in the living room offer a subtle nod to the era the property was built in, while simultaneously managing to feel fresh and modern in terms of the decor.

Adding a contemporary twist to the ground floor is the kitchen, which has been fully extended to create an open plan space. The addition of a glass roof lantern seeks to further enhance the sense of natural light in all corners of the room. Dedicated zones for cooking, dining and lounging have been established, offering plenty of opportunity for quality family time or entertaining.

A set of bi-fold sliding aluminium doors create a seamless transition from the kitchen out into the exterior grounds of the property. An oasis of greenery awaits in the form of tall hedging, trees and shrubbery which encapsulate the garden to create a sense of seclusion. A block patio overlooking the lawn has been perfectly positioned to capture the sunlight while partaking in some alfresco dining during the summer months.

Completing the ground floor is a WC and utility area, along with a set of stairs which lead to a lower ground floor cellar.

Moving up to the first floor of the home which contains three bedrooms along with a family bathroom. The principal suite is arguably the jewel in the property's crown, featuring a built-in dressing room and ensuite bathroom which benefits from both a bathtub and shower. A Juliette balcony provides an unrivalled view over the rear garden.

The conversion of the loft has ensured the property benefits from a second floor of living space. This final floor features an additional three bedrooms, one of which is ensuite. As each of the second floor bedrooms boast sizable proportions, they offer plenty of flexibility to be used as guest facilities or as a space in which to work from home. Alternatively, these rooms could transform into any additional leisure facilities the new owners may desire such as a gym, playroom or cinema room.

In summary, this Mayfield Road home offers property hunters a rare combination in that it is a home steeped in history, yet has benefited from extensive renovation works to elevate its interior spaces in line with modern standards.
