An exceptional Victorian detached house overlooking Wimbledon Common

Set behind a gated carriage driveway on Southside Common, the house occupies a south-facing plot of approximately 0.25 acres and has a frontage of around 100 ft overlooking the Common. Its elevated position affords far-reaching views across the surrounding greenery.

A much-loved family home, Clifton House has been thoughtfully updated over the years while retaining its grand proportions and period character. High ceilings and large windows bring an abundance of natural light into the generous accommodation, while original architectural details remain throughout. The drawing room to the left of the reception hall is a breath-taking room, typical of grand Victorian houses of this period. There is also a further sitting room overlooking Wimbledon Common. The kitchen family room and conservatory are to the right hand side of the reception hall.

There are further reception rooms on the lower ground floor, along with two studies, a gymnasium, a utility room and a shower room.

The seven bedrooms are on the first and second floors, the main bedroom has generous proportions and a large en suite bathroom.

The gated driveway provides parking for several cars, complemented by two large garages. Mature planting surrounds the house, lending the grounds an excellent sense of privacy despite its central position.

Southside Common is widely regarded as one of Wimbledon’s finest addresses. Wimbledon Village High Street, with its independent shops, cafés and restaurants, is within a few minutes’ walk, as are several leading schools, including King’s College School, The Study Preparatory School and Wimbledon Common Preparatory School.
