Unique and colourful furniture headlines this spacious London home. Laid out around an open concept, an ornamental wood-burning stove lends itself to a traditional charm along with the herringbone parquet floors. Relax on the conservatory-style wicker seating framed by high glass walls where you can admire the leafy green garden and bask under the warm glow of the sun. Or, opt for the fireside sofa at the other end of the room. Dotted throughout the house you’ll find unique trinkets – bowls and vases lining the living room wall and contemporary artwork in all the bedrooms – making this house come alive with personality. There’s a big garden too, perfect for sunny summer evenings on the patio. Stroll down to the Highgate Wood neighbourhood and treat yourself to local cafes, pubs and restaurants to see a different side of London outside of bustling Soho. Though if you’re after Westminster, St Paul’s Cathedral, Buckingham Palace and all the major sights of central London, just hop on the Tube at East Finchley (a three-minute walk away) and you’ll be there in ten to fifteen minutes. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.
