This family home is an excellent base for a London break that’s removed from some of the hustle and bustle. In Hampstead, you’ll be half a mile from shops, bars, and transport links, yet within walking distance of Hampstead Heath, where you can stretch your legs or enjoy a relaxing dip in one of the swimming ponds. The house boasts a patio garden and an impressive kitchen extension – there’s lots of space to spend time together here. We love the exposed brick feature and the private balcony in bedroom one. Just note that guests staying in bedroom four will sleep on a sofa bed.

Home truths:
*There are stairs to climb at this home so it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility.
*Bedroom four is equipped with a small sofa bed. It can accommodate two guests but we think it’ll be most comfortable for one adult or two children.
