The Somerset Road Residence
Perks for the Parents
A peaceful family home with views of Wimbledon’s world-famous Lawn Tennis Club and minimalist interiors as immaculate as traditional tennis whites. It sleeps 7. This elegant home is a real treat for parents, with a dedicated adults-only top floor and a beautifully neat astro-turf garden - perfect for a morning coffee or an evening glass of Pimms. Tennis fans will love the proximity to the historic Wimbledon site, and the village-style charm of nearby Wimbledon Village is ideal for family strolls and weekend brunches.

This is a family-friendly part of London, with the huge Wimbledon Park just half a mile away, featuring a playground, boating lake, summer splash pad and beach volleyball court. In the other direction, it’s just 5 minutes’ walk to the large green spaces of Wimbledon Common and Putney Heath - perfect for running off some steam.

About the Location
The house is located in Wimbledon, south west London. The world-famous Lawn Tennis Club is at the end of the road, where you can watch tennis in the summer months or tour the historic museum on a visit all year round. Wimbledon Town and Southfields train stations are 20 minutes’ walk (and it’s around half an hour into central London) while picturesque Wimbledon Village, with its independent stores, boutique delis and pretty pubs, is just 10 minutes up the road. It’s around 45 minutes’ drive from Heathrow airport.
Accommodation Details
The house has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, set over 3 floors. There’s a sweeping, open plan kitchen and dining room with a generously-sized table for 6. This floor also has a study and 2 separate living rooms. Upstairs, there are 3 bedrooms on the middle floor: 1 single room, 1 double room and 1 queensize room, together with a family bathroom with a bathtub. The primary bedroom has its own floor on the top level, with a kingsize bed and a well-equipped ensuite bathroom.
Style Notes
White and bright. Light-drenched and a classically British aesthetic creates a chic elegant space. Soft neutral tones and sash windows give the bedrooms a classic feel, while the contemporary bathrooms and kitchen look sleek and sophisticated. We love the cute wall mural for children, the elegant double bay windows overlooking the garden and the perfectly manicured garden.
