Bright ensuite for Wimbledon Tennis
Your double room and private bathroom are on the first floor of our Edwardian house; super period features plus all modern amenities such as WiFi and TV.<br /><br />Just 5 minutes walk from Wimbledon Park Tube station and just 30 mins from central London.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />Your bedroom is situated on the first floor and is therefore full-height throughout. It is spacious and fully furnished with a full-size double bed as well as generous storage for all your possessions: a full length wardrobe with mirror, a 5-drawer chest of drawers as well as a large desk/dressing table. There is also a window seat from which you can appreciate the view over our very quiet and well-tended garden to which you may have access - if the weather invites!<br /><br />You take just two paces across your own landing area to reach your neighbouring private bathroom. Almost as large as your bedroom, you can choose to shower or wallow in the large "Heritage" bath while contemplating the coming day
Wimbledon Park is a quiet friendly neighbourhood of south-west London with plenty of local amenities all within 5 to 10 minutes walk of our home. These include excellent cafes, a variety of restaurants, take-aways, and local grocery stores. We also have a local pub serving a range of food and offering big-screen TV for sporting events. We will be happy to make recommendations. <br /><br />As the name of the neighbourhood implies, we also enjoy a local park (Wimbledon Park!) offering calm open space, a place to jog and several tennis courts available for hire. <br /><br />A 20 minute walk across the park will take you to the world famous All England Lawn Tennis Club. You are welcome to visit us during the championships themselves, but even outside that fortnight you can visit the on-site museum and enjoy a tour of the Centre Court.<br /><br />Central Wimbledon offers the full range of mainstream facilities you would expect of any part of a major city: a shopping mall, department stores,
Janice and I have been married for 30 years and have lived in the Wimbledon area for all of that time. We have moved twice, but last time time only a few hundred yards; it's a fantastic area! 

We have two children: our son has just completed his university studies while our daughter has just started hers. 

Janice works for an organisation concerned with conserving places of heritage and is also a part-time local councillor; I work as a business consultant and also part-time as a university lecturer. That sounds like we are busy - and I guess we are! - but it makes for interesting conversation whenever our guests are in the mood! 

What do we love? Travelling to France, where we hope to own a property one day. Beach holidays in Cornwall; more expensive than France...but a constant reminder of our own childhood pleasures. Dining out - in whatever style - and there's plenty of choice in our area. Theatre - and London has the widest choice of any city we know.

Our style of hosting is as 'hands off' as you wish it to be, but we are also happy to invite you to join us for an informal supper if it suits.

Life motto? We didn't have one until my daughter offered this one: YOLO!
