Set on a tree-lined residential avenue, this warm London house will have you feeling like a local from day one. An eclectic combination of exposed brickwork, oak floors and elegant retro furniture combine to create an utterly delectable living space. We love the small touches, such as artwork, plants and books, making the place feel loved and lived-in. Some pleasant surprises include a graceful vintage desk in the double bedroom and a freestanding claw-foot bathtub in the en-suite bathroom. This home is set up for everything from remote work to a soak in a bubble-filled bath and everything in between. Three minutes down the road, you'll find the high street with its numerous grocers, restaurants, cafes and pubs. This pretty much covers all you need from a London stay, but if sightseeing is also on your list, hop on the Overground at Kensal Rise station, and you’ll be in the city in no time. On a Sunday morning, you can stock up on groceries at the local farmer’s market and then enjoy whipping up a tasty brunch in the kitchen. In the evening, open a bottle of wine, grab one of the many books peppered around the house and sink into the sofa by the ornate fireplace.
