Durnsford Road, Wimbledon Park

A superb four-bedroom flat arranged over the first floor of this handsome period property, offered to the market with a long lease (158 years) and chain-free. Extending to approximately 87.3 sq. m / 940 sq. ft, the property retains a wealth of character features throughout and further benefits from real scope to extend into the spacious loft, subject to the usual consents, making it a rare opportunity for a growing family or a purchaser looking to add value.
From the entrance hall with its original tiles and stained-glass doorway, you walk up to a bright and generously proportioned reception/dining room: a versatile space well suited to both everyday living and entertaining, adjacent to the kitchen and the stairway down into the secluded rear garden.
A particularly large double bedroom at the front of the house offers scope to be used as an additional reception room if preferred, while the ample double bedroom next to it looks over the quiet, leafy gardens to the rear. There is also a third double bedroom at the side of the property, and a small fourth bedroom at the front, suitable for use as a child's room or study. Together with a family bathroom and two floor-to-ceiling storage cupboards in the hall, this arrangement offers excellent flexibility for a family, home working, or letting arrangements.
To the rear, the property benefits from its own private garden, offering a peaceful outdoor space that is not always found with flats of this size and configuration. A secure alleyway behind the gate enables convenient access for bicycles and garden furniture.
Throughout the accommodation, the owner has retained a range of original character features typical of homes of this period, adding warmth and individuality to what is already a well-proportioned and inviting home.
