Want to visit London, but prefer to be away from the hustle and bustle of city living? This home is the one for you. Tucked away by in a leafy, peaceful south-eastern neighbourhood, you’ll find the river Thames only a ten-minute walk away. Not only does the home have welcoming woodland views, but you even have the privacy of your own little courtyard to enjoy, too. Prepare to be charmed by the pretty interiors waiting for you as you step inside. A shaker style kitchen overlooks the open-plan living area and dining nook, so everyone can hang out and converse during meals. In the mornings, start the day by switching on the radio and stepping under the waterfall shower as your filter coffee brews away. In the evening, cosy up on the sofa for a movie night – or head out to explore all the food and nightlife this corner of London has to offer.
