About this property

Rare & Huge Private Historic Townhouse in the Heart of London | Private Garden

INSIDE: An epic family home from home! A Luxurious 5 reception rooms with french doors opening on to the mature private garden,. Kitchen suite with lounge area. 2 dining rooms one with a dining table to seat 14 people. 6/7 bedrooms with great beds and loads of light, including an amazing vaulted ceiling master bedroom featuring a 12ft high canopy super king bed along with a luxurious marble en suite with a polished roll top bath. It has a bespoke chef's kitchen (150cm double oven with 8 hobs) with cooking area and 3 sofa lounge area looking over the garden, plus an additional separate second kitchen / utility. It is one of the biggest and oldest private houses in Kennington built in 1774 with beautiful original features but modernised with comfort and family living at its heart. A layout where you can all group together or have your own space depending on our your needs. Ideal for a large family trip.
FACILITIES: The house has a multi room Sonos sound system across the many reception rooms, super fast wifi, several TVs through the property as well as a chefs kitchen with lots of crockery for hosting family & meals.
OUTSIDE: We are set back off the road with a front garden with mature trees and are also are lucky enough to have a garden at the rear of the house with mature trees, rambling climbers and a croquet lawn, not to mention outdoor furniture. You can even hear Big Ben chime in the garden whilst the house itself shields street noise.
THE AREA: We love the area ! The neighbourhood is one of London's best kept secrets and they regularly shoot films on Georgian square behind us. Too central to be a suburb it is a real authentic old part of central London littered with history, and where so much of it got destroyed in WWII - our house luckily survived. Kennington is in a bubble of land on the south side of the River Thames so in 5-20mins on foot you can get to so many places. We are are just 10-15 mins walk to Westminster, Tate Britain and 20-25 mins walk National Galleries, Covent Garden, South Bank, Theatreland, The Shard, & Borough market- plus there's the West End with cafes, bars, clubs and restaurants accessible by foot, bus or taxi. We are even right next to (1min walk) to the Imperial War Museum and its lovely park. The bus network virtually goes everywhere from the Imperial war Museum and Lambeth North Tube or Waterloo are the nearest underground stations.

About the host

Hosted by Damian

Host profile image
We love Historic buildings and love London. Our fundamental belief is a house should be a home for whoever is enjoying it. Having just finished restoring this amazing house we have hopefully made it like a home from home for friends, family and guests who rent the house. It is furnished to be lived in (comfy sofas and beds) with modern luxury (house sound system, TVs, networked WiFi etc) but also has some amazing period charm (restored architectural details) and decent but robust and useable furniture.

Why they chose this property

THE HOUSE: It is a unique historic town house - stunning to look at, huge inside, and in a brilliant location for enjoying London - it was love at first sight - we were the first people to buy it since it was originally built by the original owners in 1740.
THE LOCATION: Kennington is true historic part of Central London and it's architectural pedigree whilst also being a modern part of London living community, with loads of restaurants and bars (recommend playing boule on Cleaver Square on a Wednesday). Best of both and central!

What makes this property unique

Outside - You can walk to so many great museums restaurants, the river, or theatres... or just sit int eh garden playing croquet listening to Big Ben chime.

Inside - The house is genuinely both being gorgeous to look and so comfortable to live in. Space to be together but also space to take time out from each other.
