About this property

Our house is furnished as a home, in a traditional English country house style.

Our house is furnished as a home, in an English country house style, rather than an empty rental property, with a comfortable Heals bed and French linen sheets.

We have three rooms on the ground floor, as well as a separate kitchen. There are stairs up to the two bedrooms both light and airy. One faces south and overlooks the garden the other faces the road. There is a bathroom upstairs, with a 6’ bath and the downstairs bathroom has a shower.
The conservatory room has fully folding doors opening onto a verdant, south facing garden, which has a bistro table and chairs and bench seat.


We are 250m from Battersea Bridge, and Chelsea Yacht and boat club. We are two minutes walk from the Thames Path, a broad promenade that stretches for miles in either direction, a wonderful place to explore on foot, or on a bike, which you can hire from a nearby docking station. There are plenty of riverside restaurants, cafes and bars and regular piers where you can pick up a river boat taxi, to whisk you further upstream. Battersea Park, is a six minute walk away, along the river, which has a lovely lake, boats for hire, cafes, an adventure play ground, with high rise tree walks, a zoo, tennis courts and glorious garden walks. We have three river taxi stops nearby, my favourite is the one on the far side of Battersea Park, which runs every half hour. ( First stop, the Tate Gallery) you can buy a day ticket and spend a very enjoyable day visiting all the sites along the river, it’s a great thing to do on your first day in London.

The bus stop, just before the bridge, has buses that will take you to the museums, in Kensington, the shops in King's Road, High Street Kensington and Knightsbridge ( Harrods ), the theatres in Piccadilly and Covent Garden and Buckingham Palace.
Getting to Gatwick airport, via Clapham Junction, a nearby hub, ( also a short bus ride away ) takes half an hour. Heathrow is forty minutes, on the underground, from South Kensington.
If you prefer to walk, we are a gentle 20 minute walk from three underground stations, Sloane Square, South Kensington and Gloucester Road.
Chelsea Harbour is a 15 minute walk away, notable for its design centre for anyone interested in home design. There is also a relatively, newly opened overground station called Imperial Wharf, in the Chelsea Harbour area.
Re overground/National rail stations you can get to Victoria Station in 10mins on a 170 bus ( northbound) or take the same bus from a stop in Battersea Church Road and you will be in Clapham Junction in 8 mins, which is a main hub for rail travel, if you want to go to Strawberry Hill or Hampton Court, Windsor …..

Please be aware that the garden room is not heated and therefore not suitable as a dining room during the winter, instead we use a small table in the middle room to eat at.

Felt safe and at home
The house was in a great location, with easy transport options at the end of the street. Also a block from the Thames and a lovely park. Also a supermarket, cafes, etc at both ends of the street. Everything we needed. The house itself was character filled and spacious. Such lovely rooms and the linen was excellent. Even nice touches of having boxes of tissues, shampoo etc was very much appreciated. Denise the host was so caring - it felt like our mum, or aunt or a friend was checking in with us- to ensure we got into the property and that we were safe and had everything we needed. She even moved the cleaner's day to suit us and was flexible when we needed to change a check out time. The property and Denise herself, were both excellent! Very happy with our stay! Highly recommend.

Charming Home Close to Center!
Gosh! We were delighted with our stay at Denise's home. My daughter (22) and I spent 9 nights there and it was wonderful. Well stocked kitchen with lovely things to prepare meals (we only made breakfasts and snacks); close to a co-op to pick up odds and ends. Bus stop around the corner that we used to easily get to central London and other various points. Excellent area for walking as well, just along the river and into Battersea Park, but I also walked into Chelsea/Sloan Square. Beds are very comfortable with lovely linens. Neighborhood felt very safe even at night, no issues. Denise is great--very communicative and helpful. This is clearly a home, so if you are looking for a sterile, boring rental property, this isn't for you. If you want a lovely charming home for your stay in a neighborhood close to the center with a fabulous host than this is it! Would not hesitate to stay again.

Wonderful Townhouse
My husband and I loved staying in this townhome. We found it to be the perfect location that was convenient for walking in Battersea Park, along the Thames, or to the bus stop. We also loved all of the beautiful artwork, antiques, and personal touches throughout. The bed, made up with beautiful linens, was very comfortable. The residential neighborhood was very quiet at night. We were out sightseeing daily, but had dinner at home every night. Great kitchen that had everything you would need to cook a meal. Denise was a delight to work with. Communication with her was excellent, she thought of everything to make us comfortable. We highly recommend staying here and we would definitely stay again.

Fun Time in London
We really enjoyed our stay in London, host had us very organized and checking in was very easy. Location was great and close to a beautiful park, and bus/boat taxi stations. Super easy to get around. We found it could be a little noisy at times from the airport and street traffic, but would book again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Denise

Host profile image
I am a prep school teacher, in a local Catholic boys school, where I have taught for longer than I care to admit to.......I moved around Europe, as a child, as my father's job took him to different countries, I have rusty Italian, German, Spanish and French........
My partner is lucky enough to own a rustic... Very basic.... barn, built of straw bales, where we can retreat to, leaving me able to rent out my London house, during the school holidays.

Why they chose this property

I have lived here since 1990, I find it the most perfect place. I love London, its energy and space. We are right in the centre of the action..... King's Road, Knightbridge, the 1960's hey day... Yet in the hub of all the recent river development. The riverside walk, which is 100 yards from our house gives up opportunities for long walks or cycle rides along the river, plenty of restaurants and cafes, a five minute walk to Battersea Park, with its boating lake, extensive gardens and best of all the new river boat taxi , which carries you speedily through the centre of London, from the West End to Dock Land, enabling you to jump on and jump off to galleries, theatres, historic buildings and lively markets. Or just sit on the boat, have a coffee from the on board Costa, and view the major sights from the comfort of your catamaran.
The air is good as there is usually a wind coursing down the river. The area is safe. A local supermarket at the end of the road , next to the fashionable pizza, restaurant, Bunga Bunga. Our favourite restaurant a short walk over the river is The Ivy, which has a fantastic garden to eat in as well.
Our house has a secluded garden, a rarity in London, and a garden room with bifold ing doors allowing lots of light and fresh air. It's a small Georgian terraced house, ( circa 1820 ) , a traditional cottage, used to be called a two up two down. The walls are hung with watercolours. ( not an ultra modern house) It is quiet, unless there is an east wind, and then we do hear some planes coming in.

What makes this property unique

Quirky, close to the river, not overlooked. For someone who wants to enjoy a traditional Engish country house style and have a small but verdant garden
