You'll find this contemporary townhome in Barnes, just across the bridge from buzzy Hammersmith. It's located on a charming street close to the Thameside towpath and the area's pubs and restaurants, so there's plenty to do if you decide to stay local. Families and friends will have ample room to stretch out here. We love the cosy lounge, the light-filled kitchen, and the two comfortable bedrooms. Remote workers can get down to business in the separate study, which has a sofa bed for guests five and six. Factor in the sun-kissed patio, balcony, and private parking, and it's no surprise it caught our eye.

Home truths:
*At full capacity, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the study. It's above the kitchen but is relatively private.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot, high chair, safety gates and babysitting recommendations upon request.
*Guests have access to all areas of the home, apart from one room that is locked and out of bounds.
*Parking is available in the gated driveway at the back of the house. However, Hammersmith Station is a ten-minute walk away, so you won't need a car here.
