Go with the flow at this home on Hardinge Road. Step inside, and your eye will be drawn straight through the house to the verdant back garden, courtesy of the large French doors. Before you reach the decked area out back with its outdoor dining table for six, you'll pass the sitting room, with its well-stocked bookshelves flanking the ornamental fireplace and an inviting sofa sitting in the bay window. The spacious and light-filled kitchen boasts yet more patio doors, in addition to a dining table with space for the whole group sat beneath a skylight. Upstairs, two of the bedrooms have clean lines, large windows and en-suite bathrooms. In comparison, the two smaller bedrooms are perfectly equipped for the kids. Step outside, and you'll find yourself cradled between Notting Hill and West Hampstead. The local area has plenty of West London charm and just as much creative flair as its better-known neighbours, minus the hordes of tourists posing for selfies outside the front door – there's even a cute independent cinema at the end of the road. For journeys further afield, you're well located for both overground and underground services that can have you in the heart of London's glittering West End in under forty-five minutes. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.
