Contemporary townhouse arranged over 4 floors; located in a small, safe cul-de-sac community with a newly renovated shared indoor swimming pool.
8-minutes walk from the stylish shopping and dining in the lovely and leafy Wimbledon Village and just half an hour from the very centre of London.
Realizing that we had found the perfect location for our family, we had the house extensively remodeled by an architect to create a stylish yet practical family home so that we could enjoy it for years to come.
The top floor is devoted to the master bedroom; consisting of bedroom, walk in closet, separate bath and shower rooms and fronted by a large furnished roof terrace with barbeque, from where you can enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the London skyline.
The next floor down is for the children; a very girl room, a very boy room, a spare room, a study area and a bathroom.
Below this - at garden level - is the open plan living space with sitting area opening into a kitchen diner. At the rear is a private and sheltered courtyard garden, with dining furniture and a barbeque.
The bottom floor is an informal family den with 50 inch HD plasma with surround sound home cinema, blu ray and Wii. Also down here is the store and utility area with American laundry appliances and second fridge freezer. This floor is a street level and opens onto a private drive with ample parking.
The street to the front is a cul-de-sac, with no through traffic, in which the kids can play safe with their friends and neighbours.
To the rear and all around are communal gardens and in the gardens is a newly renovated community indoor swimming pool. Contemporary townhouse arranged over 4 floors; located in a small, safe cul-de-sac community with a newly renovated shared indoor swimming pool.

Wimbledon Village is a fashionable and exclusive suburb, just 18 minutes by overground train from the very centre of London. It is home to a mix of long established local families, city professionals and a diverse mix of international financiers and business people, most with young families.
It is most famous famous for the tennis (The All England Lawn Tennis Club & Museum is a 4-minute walk from our home and we regularly rent our home out to top seeded players during the tournament) and the Wombles of Wimbledon Common (But I have lived here more than 40 years and never seen one yet).
The traditional village high street is an 8-minute walk from our front door; here you can find a great mix of designer boutiques such as Joseph and Max Mara together with more traditional (and a lot cheaper!) village shops, such as a butcher, baker and fishmonger. All in all it offers a rather upmarket version of a traditional English High Street; a great mix of boutiques, local shops for local people, pubs, bars and restaurants with young local families out for a stroll and horses trotting by.
The Village is also a great meeting place that people travel to from miles around for it's fantastic choice of traditional English pubs, trendy bars, coffee shops and restaurants offering cuisine from around the World. At the last count, there were no less than 22 places to eat and drink.
Just beyond Wimbledon Village High Street - 12-minutes walk from our home - is the wild and wonderful Wimbledon Common. With 12,000 acres of heath land and ponds, it forms the nearest countryside to London, which is just 8 miles away. To complete the rural scene, there is even a windmill. The Common is great for walks and picnics; the more active can go horse riding, cycling or play golf.
One of our nearest neighbours is the All England Lawn Tennis Club - If you like tennis, you are in for a treat!
Transport links from our home are fantastic: There are 3 tubes and a mainline station in walking distance and the centre of town is easily and quickly reached by either overground or tube.
We are also happy to car swap. Within a maximum two hour drive, you could be at Windsor Castle, Oxford, Cambridge, Kew Gardens, Stratford-upon-Avon, Brighton, Chartwell, Stonehege and Bath.
Paris is just over two hours away on the Eurostar - and can be done easily as a day trip.

Tim & Sarah are both in the media. Zachary is 12 and mad about all sport. Saskia is 10 and most often found reading.
We are a local family; Wimbledon born and bred and so can tell you about all the very best places to see, go, shop and eat in not only Wimbledon, but also the rest of our great city.
We are experienced exchangers and so well used to treating other people's homes with the utmost care and respect.
We love travelling and always prefer home exchanges, as they are so much more personal than an identikit hotel or villa rental.
We look forward to hearing from you and wish you happy travels! Tim & Sarah are both in the media. Zachary is 12 and mad about all sport. Saskia is 10 and most often found reading.
