Located in peaceful Battersea, this bright home feels quintessentially English with its antique furnishings, cottage-inspired decor and characterful pops of colour. The living room is dotted with pieces of art and plump, inviting sofas, and the whole space is filled with light thanks to the large glass doors that slide open to access a private balcony. Start mornings off here with a cup of coffee before enjoying breakfast around the rustic dining table. Then lace up your walking shoes for a stroll around leafy Battersea Park – a four-minute walk away – or cross Battersea Bridge – five minutes away – to discover picturesque Chelsea. After a day of exploring, come back home for a long soak in the pink tiled tub, before finding a local gastropub for a delicious dinner. When it’s time for bed, your country-style bedroom promises a relaxing night with your quiet surroundings ensuring a wonderfully restful sleep.

It attracts this set for good reason - it's very central and the period houses that line the streets are charming. Sloane Square...
