Time is a wonderfully fluid concept in this polished, three-bedroom home, where period interiors are interlaced with contemporary design and the odd flash of sixties' chic. A well-furnished patio and a peaceful location in the leafy, riverside neighbourhood of Putney, make this a welcome family retreat from the city — which is still only a short trip away, with Putney train station and a couple of District line stops nearby.
This well-designed house keeps things light, with fresh tones, large windows, and sleek furnishings. The living room peppers its classic, townhouse aesthetic with a modernist-meets-mod blend, expertly combining clean lines with retro curves and simple contrasts with pops of colours. There's also a rather fabulous piano, if anyone's up for tinkling on the ivories. Plus, whether it's work or play, we've got you covered with superfast full fibre broadband. So be it multiple video calls or an indulgent Netflix binge — or both simultaneously — you'll be all set. The kitchen is bathed in light thanks to retractable glass doors, which open onto a swish terrace garden, complete with sun loungers and hot pink coffee table (what else?). Weather not playing ball? There's always the glossy dining table with its fluid, white chairs, where you can enjoy a sheltered but semi-alfresco meal. The four bedrooms unite a soft palette and lightwood floors, along with two accompanying study spaces — ideal for remote working. And we're no less enamoured with the bathrooms, with their cool, whitewashed interiors and slick, contemporary fittings.

The little design flourishes dotted around — be it the smattering of swish artwork featuring abstract shapes and vibrant colours, or the enjoyable whiteboard wall in the bedroom, displaying doodles galore.
Home Truths:
No smoking, pets, or parties! This home is over three floors, so there are a fair few steps. One of the beds is located on a little mezzanine and accessed by a ladder, involving a very small climb. One of the rooms (not photographed) will be locked during your stay. One particularly nifty feature is a waste disposal unit in the kitchen sink — great for the leftovers, just watch those fingers. This home comes equipped with extra speedy full fibre broadband, guaranteeing that any work calls (or, more importantly, Netflix sessions) are never interrupted. Although we always endeavour for accuracy, there may be rare occasions where the listing photography and description do not provide an exact representation of the home’s amenities.
