Wimbledon’s ace tennis properties including penthouses and terraced homes

As fans and TV cameras descend on Wimbledon for the most exciting two weeks in the British tennis calendar, we take a look around SW19's property market.

With the likes of Roger Federer and Serena Williams about to do battle on the court, potential buyers are competing for some winners of their own.

Wimbledon is a sought after neighbourhood in the south west of London and has been home to the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club in its current location, since it moved to Church Road in 1922.

The club had started out less than two miles away at its courts in Worple Road, where it held its first championships in 1877.

Property expert Miles Shipside from Rightmove said: “The start of Wimbledon usually signals lots of rain, but I hope tennis fans enjoy looking inside these excellent homes.

"Some are so close to the action that the owners will probably be able to hear an umpire’s call, while others simply have stunning views of the iconic venue.

"Rightmove has something for everyone and I’m sure you’ll love taking a sneak peek inside these amazing tennis homes with a prawn sandwich or two.”

Wimbledon Village penthouse

This sleek four-bedroom penthouse is a real game changer for British tennis fans, as the impressive roof terrace offers uninterrupted sight lines of Wimbledon itself.

Located in the heart of the village with amazing 360°C views over the tennis club and the London skyline, this property spans the first and second floors of an impressive period building.

This property is listed for sale with Robert Holmes & Co.

Terraced house with view of practice courts

This five-bedroom terraced house, overlooks the practice courts of the All England Club, so you can see what kind of forms your favourite is in.

While Wimbledon Common, one of London's most famous open spaces, is just around the corner.

Nestled in Royal close – a private gated development – this home is right on the doorstep of the village, with a range of exclusive boutiques, bars and restaurants just a short walk away.

This property is listed for sale with Hamptons International.

Best seats in the house

The owners of this stunning two-bedroom property will know the scores at Wimbledon before almost everyone else in the country – as they’ll hear the roar before the TV shows what’s happened.

Burghley House offers unrivalled views over the entirety of the All England Lawn Tennis Club.

From the bedroom and living room windows, you’re also able to make out Henman Hill and various courts, so this is the ideal place to set up camp for the day and lap up at the best of the action.

This property is listed for sale with Knight Frank.

Charming cottage

Nestled in a leafy corner of Wimbledon, this six-bedroom cottage is less than a quarter of a mile away from all of the tennis action.

The property was designed by Baillie Scott, the highly renowned English architect and artist who was famous for his Arts and Craft Voysey style reminiscent of the neo Georgian period.

But it’s outdoors where a sports career can be sculpted with spacious hard-court tennis court to the west of the house; beautifully hidden away from prying eyes.
