Strength in Depth: Greater London

Nestled away in one of London's most coveted postcodes, this handsome brick house looks impressive enough from the outside, but just wait until you take a tour around the interior and discover the wealth of amenities.

You wouldn't be able to tell it at first glance, but there's a basement level to the address that features a huge indoor swimming pool with an adjoining Jacuzzi, plus a full-size gym studio with equipment and a spa area with a hammam for afterwards. Not bad, right? Add to that a cinema room and it's fair to say that boredom is unlikely to be on the cards at any point.

Even without all these fancy thrills, the home would still draw swoons thanks to its chic design, which brings together parquet flooring, glossy kitchen surfaces and a wide-ranging collection of artwork. The sheer amount of space is sure to be appreciated too, as is the leafy terrace complete with seating for sunny days.

If the weather plays ball during your time here, a visit to Hampstead Heath is almost obligatory and it'll take less than ten minutes to reach on foot. In local Highgate, there's a great collection of traditional pubs and restaurants for if you find yourself unable to muster the enthusiasm to cook.

Home truths:
*There's a lift within the home to reach each of the three floors
*Secure private parking is available on the gated driveway
*There's a separate apartment on the ground floor with its own kitchen
