Properties available to rent in Wimbledon Town

By Lars Smith


With an ample selection of housing types from modern style flats to premium mansions, Wimbledon is a popular choice. With both a village centre and large common, Wimbledon is a highly desirable location. Whether you are looking for a Sixties townhouse, a luxury apartment or a traditional Victorian villa, this location has a property to suit everyone.

Wimbledon can be split into two separate sectors, the village, which has traditional boutique shops and Town Broadway, with a more commercial feel. Within Town Broadway, you will find plenty of entertainment including the theatre, cinema, bars and caf'es plus a shopping centre, offices and links across the south of London via tram.

The cost of a property in Wimbledon Town costs from lb250k, the average price per square foot is approximately lb400-lb500. Houses in the village, however, are equal to property in central London locations such as Marylebone, costing around twice this.

Wimbledon has seen an increase in interest from buyers looking to move from expensive areas of London to ensure they get more space for their money. Only a short commute into central London, either Tube or train can access Wimbledon in 20 minutes, although driving may encounter traffic during rush hour.

With a rise in reverse conversions, whereby a home once split into flats is being restored to a family home there is a consistent flow of "tear down" projects. This is where previously outdated properties are being demolished and a new home built using the same plot of land.

The pre-tennis launch of two larger projects has proved special. This is down to the fact that new homes are either rare, one off or infill schemes.

This weekend will see the unveiling of the first phase of homes completed in Wimbledon Hill Park. Each property in the initial completion comprises of both grand entertaining areas and terraces on the roof. In total, there are eight family homes, which will be followed by 26 apartments within the restored Atkinson Morley Hospital. In total, there will be 94 houses within Wimbledon Hill Park, set in a walled estate and set in 25 acres of lush grounds.

Within prime location, close to Wimbledon's highly rated schools, Wimbledon Village overlooks King's College School on the foundations of a former convent. This will be London Square's debut development with architecture based around traditional garden squares. With a prestigious collection of ten properties all individually designed, this is a highly sought out address in the area.

Marryat Place, six semi-detached homes, all with off street parking for one vehicle and located close to the All England Tennis Club. Located by Wimbledon Parkside is 10 apartments known as Fairlawns, a conversion from a listed mansion.

A refurbished Edwardian mansion, Lampton House is an amazing property in Wimbledon. It comes complete with a sunken garden room, glazed atrium and a sizable half-acre of land.

Chorus is located at the less gentrified area of the Broadway. Compromising of large office locations, shared ownership properties and shops, this 60 home development has an address with a presence.
