Thornton Mews

Summary

A former car park behind Thornton House, within Wimbledon’s Hillside Conservation Area. The proposal is for two four-bedroom houses with private courtyard gardens.

The design uses the site’s changing levels to keep the houses low in profile, with living spaces opening onto south-facing courtyards.

Key highlights

• Land behind the restored Thornton House, separate from the existing homes.
• Two four-bedroom courtyard houses proposed.
• Vehicular access from Hillside, with two parking spaces per house in the proposed layout.
• Mature trees along the southern boundary.
• Architectural proposals developed following pre-application advice and local consultation.

Planning

The proposals follow a pre-application meeting with Merton Council in January 2026. The officer feedback raised no objection to the modern design approach or the proposed bulk and massing.

The feedback also identified neighbouring amenity, separation distances and bin and cycle storage as matters to address. The architect reports subsequent design changes. The proposal remains subject to planning permission; pre-application advice is not consent.

The boundary is indicative. Plot area, sale extent, access rights and terms are to be confirmed. Contact us for the architectural particulars and to arrange a site visit.
