This mansion has luxury written all over it. Featuring a private indoor pool available all year round, a cinema room perfect for movie nights, and a fun-filled games room, there's plenty to keep you entertained here – and that's not counting the two acres of landscaped gardens. The interior is all about sleek finishes and high-end touches, whether you're soaking in the freestanding tub or whipping up a meal in the expansive kitchen. It's not in the centre of London – you wouldn't get this much space otherwise – but Sidcup Station is nearby, which can whisk you away to Charring Cross in about thirty minutes.

About Welling
Once a small Kentish town, Welling was swallowed up by Greater London in the 1960s, and you can still get a sense of this transition as you explore the area. The dense town centre around Welling High Street is full of shops and eateries, while the outer edges of the area have large parks and tree-lined avenues that are more reminiscent of Kent than the capital.
