7 bedroom detached house for sale in Drax Avenue, Wimbledon, London, SW20

A locally listed detached family house in need of complete refurbishment set on a substantial plot of almost an acre backing Royal Wimbledon golf course.

Description

An exceptional and rare opportunity to purchase a detached family house over 5,000 sq ft on one of the most impressive plots in the whole of Wimbledon. The overall plot is almost an acre and backs onto the Royal Wimbledon golf course.

Having suffered fire damage in 2018 to half of the first floor and part of the roof, the house requires extensive refurbishment throughout. However, there is plenty of scope to extend and renovate this wonderful period property (STPP).

Set back from the road this period home offers well balanced living and entertaining space across three floors with a central galleried stairwell.

To the rear of the house is a terrace overlooking the spectacular private, mature gardens and there is also a swimming pool and a tennis court both of which require refurbishing.
