Take advantage of affluent Putney when you stay at this stylish home. This family-friendly district is famous for the starting point of the annual University Boat Race, and has an array of green spaces, including Putney Heath (twenty minutes on foot), as well as cafes, restaurants and boutiques. Located by the Thames, there's access to lovely cycle routes along the river – go for a bike ride to Westminster – it takes just over thirty minutes on average. If you're here for work and your employer offers a cycle to work scheme, this home is an excellent choice for your commute into the city. Or it's around a fifteen-minute stroll to Barnes and Putney Station. Back at this apartment, there's plenty of room for your family, friends, or business colleagues. After a busy day in London, relax on the hand-crafted Chesterfield sofa in the living space. Or enjoy a glass of wine in the communal garden – there's room on the grass to kick a ball around, too, if you have kids. We love the master bedroom with its walk-in dressing room behind the wardrobe and a fantastic ensuite bathroom through an unexpected secret entrance – we'll let you work it out.... The bedrooms are spread out across the whole home – ideal for privacy. Last but by no means least, this home has oh so rare (for London) dedicated free parking right outside the front door.

About Putney
Putney is an enclave of calm away from the bustle of the metropolis, despite being just 20 minutes from Waterloo station. The area exudes a feeling of well-heeled sophistication, with tennis, golf and cricket clubs aplenty, and smart bars where its affluent residents gather in the evening. On summer weekends members of the area’s many rowing clubs flock to riverside pubs and cafes after an invigorating morning on the water....
