The Askew Village Residence
Perks for the Parents
This stylish family home is just minutes from the bustling Askew Village area of Shepherds Bush, London and comes with a contemporary out-house and flexible bedroom options. Parents will love this stylish family home, which has been recently refurbished by the owners to include a whole host of luxurious modern comforts. Relax, play or host in the stunning open plan kitchen diner, or lounge in the amazing modern garden. The beautiful out-house in the garden is the perfect hang out for teens who need an escape - or visiting grandparents/nannies - so everyone has their own space to enjoy their stay.
Why Kids Love it
The kids bedrooms are stocked with books, games and playful interiors, and they'll love playing on the safe Astro Turf lawn. This is a very family-friendly area, with 3 or 4 green parks within a 15-minute walk offering playgrounds, sports courts and child-friendly cafes - the closest park is just 2 minutes away and the hosts have a city stroller to borrow. Ravenscourt Park (10 minutes' walk) is great for kids, with a large playground and a pond filled with wildlife - a lovely walking route to Chiswick High Street. Further afield, the kids will love a day trip to London Zoo at Regents Park or the indoor play center at KidZania Westfields (both around 30 minutes' drive). Older kids and teens will love checking out nearby Notting Hill and Portobello Market at weekends or visiting the new Design Museum at Holland Park (both just 15 minutes away).
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 5-7 nights. Discount of 15% available for bookings of 2 weeks or more, the host will consider an additional discount for month long stays for August. Safety notes: the house is set over 3 floors and there are no stair gates. Street parking is available although car rental is not strictly essential. The main house and out-house both have underfloor heating and Sky Tv, Netflix, prime and Disney +. Hosts will accept bookings of up to 8 adults and 2 babies/toddlers although there are 2 additional double sofa beds in the top floor bedroom for flexible accommodation options. Weekly cleaning is available for an additional fee if required (£20 per hour). Access is required for gardening 2-3 times per week, at pre-arranged times to suit guests (guests do not need to be at home during this time as there is side access to the garden).

Style Notes
Edwardian villa. This recently-refurbished home is located on a pretty tree-lined road, packed full of period features. At around 1800 sq ft, this large family home features contemporary furnishings and modern interiors, together with fun playful kids rooms and an eclectic mix of accessories from the host’s travels around the world. We love the wall paneling in the primary bedroom, the traditional fireplace downstairs and the beautiful period bay windows which flood the rooms with light.
