Quaint and charming, this Chiswick townhouse is the perfect family home for those who want a more peaceful base from which to explore central London. You're just a forty-minute tube ride to Oxford Circus from this serene and suburban spot, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds. Inside, you'll find antiques, oil paintings and ornate furniture, all giving the home a sense of traditional grandeur – it may feel a little dated to some, but we love the cosy elegance it creates. The home also boasts a lush and leafy garden, ideal for soaking up the sunshine in the summer months.
