This Victorian townhouse has been lovingly renovated by the architect owner, and the result is something truly special. Everything you could wish for has been thought of, from bookcases with secret doors to cinema screens. There’s a spa with a Himalayan salt sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi, and swimming pool, and a delightful orangery leading to an outdoor dining terrace. Private sunny gardens are perfect for lazy afternoons in summer, while the entertainment room ensures nobody can complain of boredom. Royal Greenwich Park is a five-minute walk away, and the train can transport you to London Bridge in just eight minutes. You couldn’t ask for more.
