Located on a tree-lined avenue, this smart family home is a welcoming retreat from bustling city life. It's situated in Barnes, a suburban neighbourhood with an easy-going ambiance that's just a twenty-five-minute train ride from London's Waterloo Station. Step through the front door of this house, and you'll find a charming space with plenty of traditional touches – think wooden floors, decorative ceiling moulding, and an original fireplace. The kitchen and dining area is a particularly special spot, where you can socialise while you cook before serving up your culinary creations at the stylish bench dining table. When it comes to relaxing, you're spoilt for choice – get cosy in the living room, breathe in some fresh air on the balcony or sink into a luxurious bubble bath. The River Thames is just two minutes away from your front door, should you want a waterside walk, and you can wander over to Richmond Park in around twenty-five minutes. And, should you want to head into central London, it only takes forty-five minutes to get there on public transport. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.
