Dryden Road, Wimbledon, SW19

This Edwardian terrace on Dryden Road has a gabled front, a stained-glass front door and picture rails, and it is let in a dated but tidy state, in need of modernisation by a tenant happy to live with it as it is. Beige walls with a floral border, orange-toned varnished pine boards and doors, a cream kitchen with speckled laminate and a patterned tiled splashback all reflect the taste of an earlier decade. The accommodation extends to 1,452 sq ft, arranged as four bedrooms and two bathrooms around a single reception room, on two floors with a loft room above.

Hall 2.12m x 4.35m (6'11" x 14'3")

A tiled floor runs through the hall, and a dark staircase with sturdy newels and turned spindles goes up at the back. The varnished pine doors lead off on either side.

Sitting room 5.07m x 4.47m (16'8" x 14'8")

Built-in shelving fills the alcoves, and a wood-burning stove sits in a painted surround with tiled slips. The room has a spacious plan, and the owner's brown leather sofa and recliner, a dark wood cabinet for the television and curtains with pelmets show how it has been used.

Kitchen 3.32m x 4.60m (10'11" x 15'1")

Cream units, a speckled laminate worktop, then a patterned splashback in tile fill the walls, and a breakfast bar gives a place to eat. The kitchen is clean and functional but would reward modernisation.

Cloakroom 1.26m x 1.71m (4'2" x 5'7")

A small basin and wc room is off the hall.

Principal bedroom 3.97m x 4.94m (13'0" x 16'2")

The main bedroom has its own built-in desk, a feature of the time, and ample floor for a double bed and furniture.

Bedroom 2 3.14m x 3.53m (10'4" x 11'7")

A sash window lights this smaller front bedroom, which is a comfortable double.

Bedroom 3 3.40m x 4.10m (11'2" x 13'5")

Another desk is built in here, which makes the room useful for a teenager.

Bedroom 4 2.65m x 3.78m (8'8" x 12'5")

In the loft, wardrobes are fitted along one side, and the window is set in the rear dormer where the roof drops towards the street.

Bathroom 2.45m x 2.54m (8'0" x 8'4")

Herringbone tiles cover the walls of the first-floor bathroom, a room that is tidy but of an older style.

En-suite 2.00m x 2.56m (6'7" x 8'5")

A freestanding bath is set in the en-suite, which is surprisingly large for a house of this type.

At the rear, the garden looks south-west and catches the afternoon sun. Parking on Dryden Road is by residents' permit.

Wimbledon station is a terminus for the District line and Tramlink, and also carries South Western Railway and Thameslink trains. Wimbledon Common, with its Iron Age hill fort, lies a short distance away, and Wimbledon Park is one stop from the station on the District line.
