Whether you need to work, play or relax, this extraordinary double-fronted home in Wandsworth has you covered. You only have to look at the 100-foot-long (and extra wide) garden to see what we mean. As well as a lawn plenty big enough for games, there's also plenty of alfresco seating. This is what exceptional living in London looks like. Stylish, elegant yet expansive, it’s a home begging for a large family or groups of friends to come together. Feedback from guests regarding this home has never been short of outstanding, and it's easy to see why. Upstairs you’ll find luxurious bedrooms with Egyptian cotton sheets – we’ll leave you to decide who lucks out on that top floor air-conditioned master with a garden view terrace. But for us, the clear standout feature has to be downstairs in the impressive kitchen, living and dining area, an incredibly impressive room that holds the entire household comfortably with stunning views of the beautiful garden. This space is best served with those incredible full-height patio doors slid right back to let the sunshine in, as you come together for a long, lazy breakfast before setting out to explore. And you’re in the right location... to do so. Given the size of this place you'll be forgiven for thinking you're well outside the city, but you can walk to Wandsworth Common station in just over 10 minutes, and from there it's a quick 10-minute train ride to Victoria Station. Or for something a little slower paced, do like the locals and head round the corner for a brisk walk around Wandsworth Common – via the bustling high street first for that obligatory coffee. For those arriving by car, this home has its own off-street parking space – a very welcome rarity in London.

The area is also pretty well-connected with a number of rail stations that will get you into Waterloo and Victoria in around 15 minutes. If you want a bit of piece and quiet while also remaining in touching distance of Central London, Wandsworth could serve you well for your stay.
