London homes ready for you this summer
What makes the perfect summer? Whether it’s lazy afternoons in the garden or days out with the kids, we’re taking a look at some of our homes that’ll help you create some fresh summer memories.
Hewer Street is an ultra-modern converted warehouse. Unwind in style beneath the timber beams of the double-height living area. Climb up the fishbone staircase to reach the glass-walled master bedroom on the mezzanine, where you’ll find an ensuite and a roof garden.
Ashington Road’s impossibly cool kitchen opens out onto the garden. Slide open the floor-to-ceiling windows on a summer’s morning for breakfast at the industrially inspired dining table. The home is in the heart of Fulham, so there’s plenty to see and do. Stroll down to the Thames in Hurlingham Park, or have Sunday lunch at the famous White Horse pub nearby.
With parquet flooring, high ceilings and Regency furnishings, Highbury Hill’s drawing room makes a wonderful reading spot. Gather the family for a barbecue on the outdoor sofas of the home’s spacious garden. Walk down Highbury Hill – a gently curving road of Victorian villas – and you’ll find Highbury Fields. Pack a picnic or pick up an ice cream in this elegant garden square.
Mount Ararat Road is stylish and light. Spread over four floors (and with a large garden), there’s plenty of space for kids to explore. The home is near the centre of leafy Richmond, with its abundance of parks and tree-lined boulevards. The Thames is particularly beautiful here, and is peppered with waterfront restaurants and gastropubs.
From its smart kitchen to its sleek dining room, Spencer Road is poised and thoughtfully designed. The split-level garden is big enough for all the family, with a huge lawn and a wooden-decked dining area. Fancy a day trip? Clapham Junction station is a ten-minute walk away, so you can be exploring Cambridge within and hour and a half.
