This charming terraced house is located in the London borough of Wandsworth, just minutes from Wandsworth common. On-street parking is limited here, but public transport is easily accessible. Wandsworth Station is a short walk away and offers easy access to London Victoria, opening up the city. We think the garden is great for families with children, with outdoor seating and a handy bike shed on the astroturf. All the bedrooms here are upstairs, but the vintage top-floor bedroom enjoys a superking bed and a luxurious roll-top tub beneath a skylight in its en-suite.

About Wandsworth
Wandsworth attracts young families and professionals with its residential streets and open spaces. The Common is a standout attraction here where you'll feel a world away from the busyness of London life. 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.
