Set within the beautifully landscaped grounds of the former Prospect House, this detached house forms part of an intimate gated enclave of just five Octagon built houses. Completed in 1998 and since extensively refurbished by Moores Projects, it sits on a rare 0.63 acre plot that offers remarkable privacy, mature greenery and planning permission for an outdoor swimming pool, a garden office and the conversion of the double garage. The house opens onto a wide reception hall that sets the tone for the generous proportions that follow. From here, the main living space unfolds as a triple aspect room arranged for modern family life, a large open dining and reception area anchored by a log burning fireplace, with Crittall doors drawing the eye straight out to the south facing garden. The bespoke Smallbone kitchen sits alongside, its central island designed for relaxed meals and everyday gatherings, with integrated appliances and extensive storage completing the space. A quieter rhythm defines the remainder of the ground floor. A dedicated cinema and family room offers a separate zone for evenings or children’s use, while a study opens directly onto the garden. A utility room, cloakroom and a practical boot room keep the functional elements neatly contained. The first floor is arranged around a broad landing. The principal bedroom suite sits to the rear with garden views, a dressing area fitted with bespoke joinery and a beautifully finished ensuite bathroom. Three further double bedrooms are found on this level, two with their own ensuite bathrooms, alongside a family bathroom. The top floor holds two more double bedrooms and an additional bathroom, creating a layout that works naturally for visiting family, older children or an au pair. Underfloor heating, Lutron lighting and a Sonos system run throughout. The south-facing garden is one of the home’s greatest pleasures, a secluded expanse of lawn which is edged with mature trees and planting. A wide terrace spans the back of the house, offering space for summer lunches, larger gatherings or quiet evenings outdoors. To the front, a deep driveway leads to the double garage, providing ample off street parking for visiting family and guests. The gated development of Prospect Place is moments from the open spaces of Wimbledon Common and within easy reach of the Wimbledon Village’s independent shops, cafés and riding stables. Some of the area’s most highly regarded schools, including King’s College School, The Rowans and Wimbledon High School are close by, while excellent transport links and the A3 provide quick access into central London and out towards the Surrey countryside.
