Find a home from home in this Acton abode. There’s a nice lived-in feel that instantly feels welcoming, but might not suit people that prefer a sleek, modern space. With two living areas and a spacious kitchen, this home is great for large groups. It’s particularly good for groups with young children, providing them with plenty of space to run around. We imagine the huge garden will be popular with the kids and grownups alike, too. With so much space, it might feel like you’re a world away from London. But take the five-minute walk to North Acton tube stop and you’ll be in Central London in no time.
