Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This charming London townhouse is mere steps from the River Thames, so invigorating walks along its banks are a breeze. After a spot of fresh air, this contemporary home is a cosy abode to return to. Granted, as a party of seven, two people will sleep on a sofa bed – but it’s in a bedroom, so privacy is still guaranteed. We love the kitchen here, a match for any budding chef, and for sociable evenings, it’s the perfect spot for gathering with loved ones – don’t forget to throw open the bi-fold doors for a taste of the outdoors, too.

About Putney
Putney is an enclave of calm away from the bustle of the metropolis, despite being just 20 minutes from Waterloo station. The area exudes a feeling of well-heeled sophistication, with tennis, golf and cricket clubs aplenty, and smart bars where its affluent residents gather in the evening. On summer weekends members of the area’s many rowing clubs flock to riverside pubs and cafes after an invigorating morning on the water....
