New Wimbledon homes offer Londoners a piece of the 'country': family townhouses set in 25 acres of grounds - just 20 minutes from Waterloo

Leafy, leisurely, smart and prosperous, with private schools and golf courses, a pretty village centre and a common that stretches to Putney Vale, Wimbledon is the country to many Londoners. And it’s less than 20 minutes from Waterloo.

New homes bordering this semi-wooded expanse are rare, so Wimbledon Hill Park, a scheme of 79 homes in 25 acres of grounds, is an unusual launch.

The walled estate, formerly a hospital, has a mix of traditional and contemporary styles of architecture — houses as well as flats with luxury interiors, concierge, gym and residents’ club.

Cedar Place is an enclave of six new-build Regency-style townhouses within the estate. On the ground floor, each has a large, open-plan kitchen and family space, while the double-door first-floor drawing room has high ceilings and a wide terrace overlooking the garden. From £2,889,950.
