This towering Georgian townhouse filled with antiques and art is the perfect abode for a family or group of friends looking to stay in central London. Stepping inside, you can tell it’s owned by a museum director and interior designer as an eclectic medley of French and Scandinavian furniture fills high-ceilinged rooms. Artworks worthy of one of the nearby galleries adorn the walls, along with the curated selection of gilded books. Distressed, rustic shutters juxtapose with an artfully corniced ceiling in the living room, and the dining room has a farmhouse-chic feel with an old white-wash hearth at one end. Entering the kitchen, you could be stepping into an Italian nonna’s kitchen with pots and pans hanging from every hook. The real bonus is the enclosed garden, bursting with bloom and hidden from view by greenery. Wrought-iron benches, tables and chairs dot this charming outdoor space. Even the WC is a sight to behold, with a Victoriana vintage toilet looking like it belongs to a museum. You’re in a central location too, a stone’s throw from the Battersea Power Station and the US Embassy, street food markets and eclectic eateries of Brixton, and a twenty-minute walk from Battersea Park. Plus, the Northern and Victoria lines are on your doorstep for quick and easy access into the heart of London.

Home truths

    This home is spread across four floors so may not be suitable for those with limited mobility

    While there is plenty of hot water supply, this is a period Georgian townhouse, so don't expect state-of-the-art plumbing

    There is no parking with this home, but plenty of public transport options in the area - there's a bus stop right outside and it's a 5-minute walk to the nearest Tube at Stockwell or 10 minutes to Nine Elms

About Stockwell

Wedged between Brixton, Clapham and Vauxhall, this part of town has plenty of character. Stunning leafy terraces of period Georgian townhouses sit happily alongside 1960s social housing blocks and the architectural landscape can change significantly from one street to the next.
