Welcome to my newly renovated Victorian family home in a lovely, quiet street. Minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Shepherd's Bush/Holland Park/ Notting Hill. Eat al fresco in a private garden in the fine weather. Take your pick from a large collection of books and child-friendly accessories to m this a great family escape and a calm base from which to see the London sights!
It's just a 3-minute walk to tube / bus stations and once you're on the tube, it's a 10-minute tube ride to the central London attractions.
I am on hand with information to help your stay be fabulous!
Welcome to my home where I live half the time but we are away a lot!
I'm very child friendly - see the bottom of this section for the list of what I can provide you with in addition to cot etc...
>Summary of my house:
- 4 bedrooms...
3 double bedrooms with big, luxurious beds with very comfortable, pocket-sprung mattresses. A fourth sweet little bedroom with a single, very comfortable divan bed, that would suit an adult as well as a child. All beds are made up with cotton sheets and four pillows (two are down, two are hyper-allergenic so you can choose)
- The house has two floors (levels). The ground floor has porcelain tiles (that look like wood!) and underfloor heating. The kitchen, living space, one bedroom and one bathroom are on this level. You can open the concertina doors from the kitchen and walk out into the patio. The downstairs bedroom has porcelain floor with underfloor heating, like the rest of the downstairs.
- The upstairs bedrooms (2 doubles and one single) have carpeted stairs. And a stair gate at the top.
- No one else lives above or below you... this is a house not an apartment. It's very clean as no-one wears shoes in the house.
That was the summary... Here's some more detail...
*Downstairs:
- Entrance hall/stairs up
- Spacious main open-plan living/kitchen area with large oak table and 8 chairs, two big sofas the other end for sitting and chatting, glass coffee table, TV with cable, Netflix (guest account), stereo which you can plug your iPhone/tablet into to play your own music. Plus selection of CDs...
- Glass bi-fold doors leading out to the patio which also has an outside metal/glass table with 8 chairs.
- Underfloor heating.
- Very well equipped kitchen for cooks. Dishwasher, electric oven with grill, a glass electric halogen (induction) hob, microwave, Caffitiere coffee maker, blender, electric rice cooker, toaster. Also a washing machine with in-built tumble dryer, a dishwasher and large refrigerator/ice box.
- Bathroom 1, with WC, basin and walk in shower (this bathroom is brand new as of March 2018)
- Large double bedroom downstairs (bedroom 1 in the photos) with king bed (5 foot wide) at street level, with a bay window (with pretty white wooden shutters for privacy), wardrobe, underfloor heating, etc. With the bathroom next to it, this is a good room for someone who does not like to climb stairs as they can remain on the ground floor the whole stay and not have to climb any stairs.
The bed has a pocket sprung orthopaedic mattress.
*Upstairs...
- Bedroom 2 has a king bed (5 foot wide, pocket sprung mattress), a tall wardrobe with hangers, an antique mahogany table and chair for letter writing... a chest of drawers for clothes, a large mirror, suitcase stands etc.
- Bedroom 3 has a huge, luxurious super king (6 ft wide) divan bed with pocket sprung mattress and mattress topper.
- Bedroom 4 has a sweet single (3 foot or 90cm wide) divan bed, suitable for an adult tor child, curtains with a farmyard print, and a little cabinet. There's not a lot of room do swing a cat but it's really sweet and cosy.
- Bathroom 1 (upstairs) with bath and shower (shower is inside the bath rather than a separate walk in shower). Bath has an overhead rose shower and also a second shower head that you can use while sitting in the bath (I like this!). Basin, WC. Heated towel rail.
That's it. It's yours to enjoy!
If you are travelling with a small child/small children I can leave you:
- high chair or booster cushion for eating at the table, if you are past the high chair stage!
- crib with clean bedding (sheet, duvet, shallow pillow
- baby monitor with video camera (Motorola)
- rocker chair
- a bed guard if you have a child who sleeps in the divan bed but you are worried he/she may fall out. I used this for my daughter from 2-4 years old. It slips under the mattress.
- lots of books from ages 0-5
- wipe-able toys like abacus etc
- board games
- plastic crockery, junior cutlery
Everything!
The whole house and private patio/terrace..
You have the place yourselves! But I will be contactable throughout your stay by phone, text, whatsapp, FaceTime or email - whatever your preferred mode of your communication!
When you book, I will email you with my big pdf guide document with my tips on where to buy food, swim, run, do yoga, eat out (best London vegan and gluten free restaurants included!) and some kids' activities and my secret London tips! And a second document which outlines how things work in the house (how to use the oven, the magic Quooker kitchen tap that gives you boiling hot water, filtered drinking water, etc).
If you come at a time when I am on away then the nice chap in my local grocery store keeps the key safe and will release it to you once you give him a magic code...
I will call you once you are in situ to make sure you are happy and answer any questions - and will be available throughout your stay.
The house is an oasis of calm in the midst of bustling West London—near Holland Park and Notting Hill, but a bit more cosmopolitan. Walk to bars, restaurants, cinemas, Westfield shopping centre, White City House, Television Centre, Imperial College and various music venues. It's a 5-minute walk to Shepherd's Bush Tube Station and there are many buses to town if you prefer to be above ground.
Very central. 5 minute walk to tube and overground train, 2 mins to buses. This is central London so it's very well-connected.
PARKING:
If you want to park right outside the house, you can. As with most London streets, it's pay and display - for £2.80 an hour. You can't park between the house of 6.30pm and 8pm however.
For longer term parking, you can park in the Westfield shopping centre for £8 for an entire 24 hours - the cheapest place in central London! - and leave it over night for no extra charge - my friends all park there if they are coming to town! You can leave your car there overnight or multiple nights safely. It's a safe 5 minute walk back to the house, via Waitrose if you need some groceries! :)
