Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Few houses in West London pack this much in – a private mini cinema suite with its own wine fridge, a separate outdoor snug with bi-fold doors spilling onto the garden, and a main suite built around a four-poster bed. The courtyard is made for lazy afternoons, and the terrace-to-snug drift works equally well for evenings in. When you do venture out, Goldhawk Road Underground station is a three-minute walk away, putting Central London about fifteen minutes from the door, with the Thames riverside and its Victorian bridge architecture close at hand too.

Home truths
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair – worth requesting in advance to make sure everything is set up on arrival.
The snug sits separately from the main home in the garden – it's a lovely extra space, but you'll step outside to reach it rather than walking through from indoors.
Parking in this part of London is paid and on-street only – there's no private driveway or garage. We recommend arriving by public transport where possible, especially as Goldhawk Road Underground station is a three-minute walk away.
