The Patio Garden

Holiday Rental Description

This family home is all substance and style in a trendy western suburb of London. First of all, we love the book-filled living room with ming vases and object d’art adding a personal feel to the forest-green dresser. Big windows bathe this place in natural light. There’s a desk in here (and another in the second bedroom) for those that need to work remotely, and a collection of wines on display for a post-work wind-down.

A wall of glass doors leads to the private patio garden, where a built-in stone barbecue can provide the perfect alfresco feast. Beautifully-appointed, this south-facing house provides a lovely sun spot for those wishing to sit out and unwind long into the balmy summer evenings. Pot plants burst with bloom and a wall of greenery offers some privacy. Back inside, the dine-in kitchen is bright and sunny and the master bathroom has a roll-top tub for a soak at the end of the day.

In terms of neighbourhood, you’re in leafy-green Chiswick – an affluent area with a friendly village-like feel, offering elegant eateries and a whole plethora of classy cafés and designer boutiques along the High Road. A fifteen-minute walk across the Kew Bridge sees you at the sprawling botanic gardens, while you can join the Thames River Path for a traffic-free stroll or cycle in just five minutes (your host kindly provides two bicycles for guest use). Hop on the Tube at Kew Bridge, a five-minute walk away, and be in the centre of London in around fifteen minutes.
