Home Renovation in Wimbledon

Wimbledon is where south-west London stops being terraced. Around the Village and the Common are large Victorian and Edwardian detached houses on generous plots, several conservation areas and a scattering of listed buildings; down the hill towards the town and along the Ridgway are semi-detached and detached family houses from the 1900s to the 1930s, most with side space, rear gardens and roofs that convert easily.

The scale changes what is worth doing. Two-storey side extensions, wrap-around ground floors, garage conversions and outbuildings in the garden are all realistic here in a way they are not on a four-metre-wide terrace plot — and so are whole-house programmes that reconfigure the plan rather than just adding to it. In the Village's conservation areas, elevations, boundary treatments and trees are all controlled, and applications turn on how the addition reads from the street.

We plan Wimbledon projects around the family staying or moving out, because on a house this size the programme is long enough for that choice to matter. See home extensions, design & build and full home renovation.
