Fortesque Gardens

Modern Living in a Natural Setting

Fortescue Gardens is discreetly situated off Fortescue Road, a quintessential London street lined with Victorian bay-fronted terraces. This new residential development artfully combines contemporary architectural design with its lush surroundings. The pitched roofs and gables reflect the Victorian homes and riverside workshops that are central to the area's history. Inspired by the natural landscape, Fortescue Gardens harmoniously blends with the adjacent Myrna Close Nature Reserve, a vital wildlife habitat featuring elm, oak, sycamore, holly, and dogrose, creating a serene natural retreat.

Infrastructure and Surroundings

The area, bisected by the Wandle River Valley, has long attracted artists and designers inspired by its natural beauty, especially around Colliers Wood. Fortescue Gardens is surrounded by parks, recreational grounds, and nature reserves, offering ideal settings for outdoor activities like walking and cycling. Just a three-minute walk away is Wandle Park, with its expansive meadows and tree-lined paths. The Wandle Trail runs through Colliers Wood, following the river's course.

To the south, the trail traverses the National Trust property, Morden Hall Park, which spans over 125 acres and features ornate footbridges, Morden Hall, Morden Cottage, Snuff Mills, and the restored Stableyard with amenities like a dog-friendly café, exhibition space, second-hand bookshop, and Garden Centre.

Nearby parklands such as Wimbledon Common and Putney Heath cover more than 1,140 acres, popular among South Londoners, especially during summer months. The Crooked Billet pub, in a charming corner of the common, offers a perfect spot for enjoying good food, drinks, and company.
