Hollywood’s much-loved couple Zendaya and Tom Holland are reportedly taking another big step in their life together by purchasing a lavish £9 million property in Wimbledon, southwest London. The couple, who tied the knot earlier this year after meeting on the sets of the Spider-Man franchise, have reportedly bought a sprawling home close to the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, the venue for the prestigious Wimbledon Championships.According to a report by The Daily Mail, the property offers considerable privacy, expansive outdoor spaces and even a private tennis court. Set across nearly an acre of land, the house also comes with a separate cottage, making it a substantial addition to the couple’s property portfolio.The nearly £9 million property reportedly features four reception rooms and has been described by estate agents as offering an ‘outstanding blend of space, privacy and versatility’.Spread across almost an acre, the residence includes a large garden, a separate cottage and a private tennis court. Given Zendaya’s association with tennis following her role in Challengers, the property’s sporting facility makes for an interesting feature.The house is also located close to the All England Club, where Zendaya watched the 2024 Wimbledon finals. Tom, who grew up in Kingston upon Thames, around four miles from the property, has previously spoken about how special it was to see his wife in a place he considers home.
Tom Holland once praised Zendaya’s Wimbledon appearance
Zendaya’s connection with tennis became particularly prominent while she was promoting her 2024 film Challengers, in which she played a former tennis prodigy turned coach. During the film’s promotional campaign, she made headlines for her fashion choices, including a custom-made Loewe dress paired with stiletto heels featuring yellow tennis balls.She later attended the 2024 Wimbledon finals at Centre Court, where she was spotted wearing a series of Ralph Lauren suits.Tom was particularly taken by her appearance and spoke about it during an interview with GQ. Recalling the occasion, he said, ‘She just looked so beautiful and so at home. It meant so much for her to be in a place that I call home and look like such a part of our community.’The couple’s reported decision to buy a property in Wimbledon now brings them closer to the area that holds personal significance for Tom.
Zendaya and Tom Holland’s new home could face a neighbourhood development battle
Zendaya and Tom Holland’s new home is spread across nearly an acre and features four reception rooms, expansive gardens and additional accommodation.
While the property offers considerable privacy, its location could also place the couple close to a long-running local controversy.According to The Daily Mail, the house is adjacent to the historic Grade II-listed Wimbledon Park Golf Club, a golf course designed around a lake and dotted with oak trees planted by renowned landscape gardener Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown.The All England Club has proposed developing the former golf course into a major tennis facility, featuring an 8,000-seat stadium and 38 additional courts. However, the plans have faced opposition from campaigning group Save Wimbledon Park, which argues that the land is protected by a statutory trust under a law dating back 150 years.The golf course was closed after its members sold the leasehold to the All England Club for £65 million. Its future remains subject to legal proceedings, with the matter awaiting a judgment from the Court of Appeal.It remains unclear whether the proposed development will affect the couple’s new surroundings.
Couple keeping a low profile at their new property
Despite the reported purchase, Zendaya and Tom have not yet been spotted by local residents at the Wimbledon property. The Daily Mail reported that their personal assistant has been seen making regular checks on the house, while the couple have also hired a gardener to maintain the grounds.A neighbour told the publication that their youngest child was excited about the possibility of Spider-Man living across the street. The neighbour added that they had joked about how far a football would need to travel to reach the couple’s back garden, while suggesting that a housewarming party was unlikely.The actors are known for keeping their personal lives private. They currently live in a £2.5 million property in Richmond and have reportedly enjoyed simple outings, including shopping at Waitrose in New Malden and taking guided tours of Hampton Court Palace.
