When you think of London, the first thought is usually a bustling metropolis but this gorgeous family abode gives you the opportunity to discover a different side of the city. Situated in leafy Chiswick, the neighbourhood has a village feel with an abundance of greenery and the Thames river meandering alongside it. Inside, the place has just the right amount of homespun style, tempered with a sleek modernity and striking heritage features. The open-concept kitchen space is all expanses of glass, with enormous skylights drawing the sun in, only adding to the sense of peace. Slide open the floor-to-ceiling doors and bowl out into the garden for barbecues on the patio or games on the lawn. Stretch your legs with a ten-minute walk to the pub by the water or wander for fifteen minutes to Chiswick High Street, where an impressive selection of wine bars, indie shops and upscale eateries await.
