Right on the edge of a verdant park, this modern flat enjoys a peaceful location while being within easy reach of central London. Set on the top floor, it has an airy New York loft feel thanks to vaulted ceilings in the living area, and skylights bathing the room in natural light. Both of the bedrooms have sliding glass doors which lead out onto the balcony, with its treetop views. We love the high-spec features, like the 49-inch smart TV and the boiling water tap in the kitchen, enabling cups of tea in seconds.

Enjoy breakfast and some morning sun on the balcony before heading out to explore. In summer, take a picnic to Walpole Park on your doorstep. The elegant grounds belonged to famed British architect Sir John Soane, and you can explore his grand Georgian manor which is now a beautiful gallery in the park. When you’re ready for a taste of the big smoke, stroll ten minutes to Ealing Broadway station and hop on the Central Line, which whizzes you into central London in twenty-four minutes.

After a day of exploring the city, head home and run a bubble bath in the decadent marble bathroom, cosy up on the sofa for a movie, or simply relax on your balcony with a glass of wine, as the sun sets over this green and pleasant corner of London.
