The Epirus Road Residence
Perks for the Parents
A characterful period residence set on a peaceful, leafy street with its own private garden and easy access to Fulham’s cafes, restaurants and boutiques. It sleeps 8. Luxurious modern design compliments traditional features to create an inviting, cozy home away from home. Spread out over multiple levels, there is plenty of space for both relaxation and play including an opulent double reception room, a playroom for the kids and a light primary bedroom with its own TV and ensuite bathroom for added privacy. The open plan layout of the kitchen/dining area is perfect for family socializing while the secluded patio garden and upstairs balcony terrace provide an ideal spot in which to enjoy a moment's peace with a morning coffee. There's an excellent selection of delis, bakeries and grocery stores on the doorstep as well as plenty of local parks and riverside spots to picnic in. The upmarket village cafes and gastro pubs of Parsons Green, and the chic boutiques of Chelsea’s Kings Road, are also both within walking distance. Fulham Broadway tube station is an 8-minute walk providing fast access to Sloane square, the renowned museums of South Kensington, and the wider city.
Why Kids Love it
Kids will feel right at home in this relaxed residence with a toy-filled playroom of their own and garden space to spread out in during the warmer months. For downtime, the cozy sitting room is the perfect chillout zone with plenty of sofa space and a flatscreen TV for movie nights in or catching up with a latest series. For active kids, there is green space a-plenty as well as a playground in local Eel Brook common just 8 minutes’ walk away. Sports fans of all ages are well catered for with Stamford Bridge and Craven Cottage football stadiums within easy reach, alongside a polo and rugby club, with tours and live games scheduled throughout the year. Fulham Broadway tube station is a short walk for direct trains to Kensington and the city’s best family-friendly museums including the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum and the V&A, as well as the Diana memorial playground at Kensington gardens. For a fun, alternative mode of travel to the city, kids might enjoy catching the Thames Clipper boat from Chelsea pier, 10 minutes away by car or taxi.

Style Notes
Period townhouse. This historic residence blends its Victorian past with contemporary comfort to create an opulent but homely vacation base. A sleek modern conversion adds plenty of space and light with glass skylights and doors leading onto the pretty walled garden. Elsewhere, large bay windows and mirrored doors flood the rooms with light resulting in a relaxed, roomy feel. Modern art and textiles add a touch of the bohemian introducing bold patterns and pops of color to an otherwise soothing pallete of tranquil neutrals. We love the spacious kitchen/diner perfect for socializing in every season with picture glass doors that can be thrown open in the warmer months for seamless alfresco dining.

Fulham, London
Parks, football and the Sloaney Pony
This upmarket West London neighborhood is leafy and affluent with a gastro pub on every corner and several parks. It’s easy to get into central London from here - just six stops on the District line - and it has a sprinkle of wizarding magic as the place where Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe grew up.
