Why Kids Love it
Kids will love this relaxed urban residence, close to all the action of a bustling London town but with plenty of space to relax, play, explore or crawl about at home. There’s a good selection of books and toys, including a collection of toy cars, as well as board games and card decks for games nights. The pretty garden has a patio area for outside play, and there’s an outdoor table for picnic style dining. The living area is the perfect chill out zone with a large sofa and a cinema style TV with all the Sky channels for catching up with the latest movie, series or sports game. The kids’ bedroom is playfully decorated and there’s a trundle bed for sleeping an additional guest if required. For those with extra energy, there are parks and playgrounds a short walk away and the excellent Music House for Children is literally at the end of the road with a regular concert programme for younger ones.
Things to Know

Style Notes
Playful Victorian. Located in a conservation area of classic period townhouses, this elegant residence combines original features with subtle contemporary updates and a sense of fun. Owned by a couple working in the creative arts, it is packed full of beautiful paintings, sculpture, modern art and books from their own collection weaving artistry and interest throughout. Whitewashed walls and light, wooden floors are complimented by brushed concrete, painted shiplap and sisal carpeting to create a calm and contemporary feel while marble fire surrounds and original sash windows uphold some historic elegance. We love the garden oasis with its olive tree, walled trellises and pretty paved patio offering the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or an afternoon tea in the sun.
