A handsome period house on one of St John's Wood's most sought-after streets, this is London living with breathing room. The garden is exceptionally large by the city's standards – mature trees overhead, a terrace for outdoor dining, and a barbecue for long summer evenings. A glass conservatory connects the interior to that outdoor space naturally, doubling as a dining room in its own right. Inside, a library with a grand piano adds a quietly distinguished touch, and St John's Wood Underground Station is around a twelve-minute walk, putting Bond Street just five minutes further by Tube.
