The last bastion in South-west London
The Dooley Estate comprises several prime properties forming a rare 0.96-acre site in central Wimbledon, with three adjoining homes on Queens Road and private road access leading to a substantial solid-oak residence.
Its scale, location and potential for redevelopment — just minutes from Wimbledon Common, Wimbledon town centre and the All England Lawn Tennis Club — make it an exceptional and rarely available opportunity for a landmark residential development.
The site contains several established structures that can be used to establish structure square footage, or removed to make way for larger structures. Queens Road is a major thoroughfare with excellent access to Wimbledon Station, South Wimbledon and Haydons Road, and the estate sits one mile from Wimbledon Quarter and Wimbledon Broadway.
High-profile inquiries from leading UK developers have arrived over the years, but the late owner, Trevor Dooley, consistently refused to sell the estate — even for substantial offers — because of its importance to him as a hobby farm.

What the estate owns today
The estate holds the majority freeholds on both Victorian flats at 153 and 155 Queens Road. The remaining two flats are independently owned — one is presently on the market and the other owner has expressed interest in selling — giving a developer a clear path to full control of the Queens Road frontage.
