## Description

**Location**

Murray Road is located off the Ridgway and Southside Common  in the heart of Wimbledon Village within 200m of the High St and Common. Wimbledon Village is known for its unique feel with a sense of having one foot in the country whilst being only 15 mins by rail to the City. The High St has a number of pretty shops, restaurants and bars with two stables available for riding on the Common. The Common itself is over 1200 acres and is perfect for walking, riding, cycling or golf at one of the three courses within the Common. Wimbledon railway station is around 800m away with a fast and regular link to central London. Locally are a number of excellent schools with Kings College School and Wimbledon High School both around 600m away.

**Description**

This attractive detached Edwardian house offers excellent space throughout and is located on one of Wimbledon's most sought after street within 200m of Wimbledon Common and Village. The property currently requires updating throughout but offers a clear opportunity to create a bespoke internal finish and provide fabulous family accommodation. At the rear, the south west facing garden is mostly lawn with mature floral borders with a garage and off-street parking to the front.
