Nestled in the riverside neighbourhood of Putney, this home is ideal for those wanting to enjoy busy London at arm's length. Set away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, it’s close enough that you can quickly jump on a tube and explore those famous sights and sounds, but far enough away that you can get a great night’s sleep at the end of the day. In terms of the house itself, the best way to describe it is ‘perfectly polished.’ This charming bolthole boasts a blend of period features and contemporary fixtures and furnishings. This winning fusion of old and new creates a cosy retreat with something everyone will love. It’s light, bright and welcoming, with a classic London townhouse aesthetic. We’re particularly fond of the curation of modish artwork. Flashes of colour here and there instantly draw the eye, meanwhile the piano welcomes guests to show off their skills. We can’t get enough of the kitchen area in this home. The retractable glass doors leave this room flooded with light, and lead out onto a swanky terraced garden. Fingers crossed, the sun shines brightly during your stay, and you can make the most of the snuggly sun loungers... and hot–pink coffee table. If the weather doesn’t deliver the goods, swap your al fresco feast for a family gathering around the dining table.

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....
