Perks for the Parents

A light, bright and spacious residence with a private garden, set on a leafy residential street in charming Maida Vale. It sleeps 5 + 2. Parquet floors, whitewashed walls and stylish décor set the tone for this design-led home. With 3 bedrooms set up for kids, there is enough space for parents to claim some for themselves. There's plenty to choose from including a roomy downstairs sitting room with plush seating, a pretty patio garden with sun loungers and a primary bedroom on a floor of its own for ultimate peace and quiet. It also comes with a kingsize bed and a luxurious ensuite with a bathtub for soaking away a busy day. The residence’s location benefits from the best of all worlds with a laid-back neighborly vibe and the leafy canal paths of 'Little Venice' a short walk away alongside easy access to the local underground station for fast tube trains into central London.

Why Kids Love it

Kids will feel right at home in this creatively designed residence with 3 playful bedrooms to choose from, each with a singlesize bed and an armchair made for curling up in. Fun features include a starry night sky ceiling, bright floor cushions, pom pom table lamps and colorful poster art. Downstairs, there’s plenty of space with a sociable kitchen/diner, a large reception room with a TV and piano for movie – or musical – nights in, and a sunny garden with space to play and enjoy some alfresco dining (a highchair is available on request). For those keen to explore, the local area has various parks, laid back cafes and a cinema. Older kids and teens will love the buzzing street markets in Portobello and Notting hill, a 25 minute walk away while kids of all ages will find something of interest at the world-famous Natural History, Science and V&A museums of Kensington, just a short hop away on the tube.

Style Notes

Townhouse chic. This Victorian residence has been imaginatively re-designed to create spacious, multi-level living. Elegant style exudes throughout with wooden parquet floors, marble countertops and flooring in the kitchen and bathrooms and a splash of fun and playfulness in the kids’ bedrooms. Designer lighting is used to great effect alongside period furnishings and bright, colorful textiles to create a characterful home away from home feel. Bright, hand-picked works of art balance the residence’s soothing neutral palette to create a relaxing environment, perfect for unwinding in after a busy day out in the city. We love the huge reception room which opens onto the pretty garden offering space to relax whatever the weather.
