Owner profile
About the owner
We are a husband and wife team who while running our own professional businesses found the time 5 years ago to convert a local derelict building into a cafe and 3 apartments and found ourselves renting these out. We have so enjoyed serving our tenants that we have now decicded to share, on a short term basis, our beautiful family home. We love people to love our homes and we love making them feel comfortable.
Year purchased: 2001
Why the owner chose a home in this location
The moment we opened the front door and saw the clarity, simplicity and light that this house holds there was simply no way back. We had wanted a spacious family home and fell in love with the high ceilings and the fact that there were rooms and rooms to spare. We are currently raising our family here while at times also working from home so the house is always busy and always full of people and life.
Unique benefits of the property
The house appeals to all ages; children for its light and space and close community; teenagers for its privacy and separate spaces; adults for its flexibility, simplicity and unique community/neighbours; guests for its ease and welcome; long term vistors for its practiciality and quiet neighbourhood feel and everyone for its convenience in terms of getting out and about in London.
