Built By Design

Parkside

This impressive phased modernisation project has transformed a grand 1900s detached house in Wimbledon into a refined, contemporary home, blending period elegance with cutting-edge design. The extensive works included the remodelling and extension of the main house, followed by a carefully curated landscaping scheme to complete the transformation.

Inside, four new bathrooms bring a fresh, modern feel to the home, each featuring high-end finishes and bespoke detailing. A new gymnasium adds a dedicated wellness space, while the standout rear extension creates a breathtaking focal point. Framed sliding doors and four large roof lights flood the open-plan area with natural light, enhancing the sense of space. A striking feature wall of bespoke birch
plywood cabinetry, with sleek acrylic fronts, adds warmth and texture. Within this, an inset aquarium provides a unique window into a hidden, timber-lined cloakroom WC—an unexpected and playful design element that elevates the home’s
individuality.

Following the completion of the main house, the attention shifted to the expansive grounds. Extensive decking and natural stone patios create inviting outdoor spaces, while the existing swimming pool was meticulously refurbished to enhance
its aesthetic and functionality. A newly built pool house, complete with a benchseated changing area, WC, and shower, offers a luxurious retreat, seamlessly extending the home’s modernised elegance into the landscaped gardens. This carefully executed project has transformed the property into a beautifully balanced blend of heritage and innovation, creating a sophisticated yet welcoming family home.
