Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This is, without a doubt, one of the most impressive homes in our collection. The bespoke architecture makes you feel as if you are staying in a traditional British museum or castle, while the interiors provide everything you need to keep all ages busy. Sauna? Tick. Games room? Tick. Home cinema? Tick. It's not in Central London, but you're only a thirty-minute train ride away – and we're sure you'll love the half acre of garden that comes with being a little further out.

Home truths
The play equipment and trampoline in the garden may not be suitable for small children – they'll need to be supervised at all times.
The upstairs penthouse area doesn't quite have the same feel as the rest of the home – it's a little less luxurious.
While there's seating for 12 in the dining hall, your host can provide an additional table and extra chairs to seat up to 22 guests.
This is a lived-in home and so some of the owner's possessions may be present.
One of the bedrooms features an additional double mattress on the mezzanine level – this is best suited to one or two children.
Your host can provide a travel cot and highchair on request.

Local guide
About Eltham
Eltham is far from London, but it has good transport links into the city and is just a couple of miles from Greenwich town centre. Home to a thriving, residential community, Eltham is a picturesque town, ideal for some peace and quiet. The town is steeped in history and is populated by a lot of Tudor and Art Deco architecture. Henry VIII, one of Britain’s most notorious Kings, spent a lot of time at Eltham Palace and Gardens – today, you can visit the Palace and enjoy wondering around the immaculate grounds.
