Pleasure Garden

Home to a writer-designer couple, this immaculately laid-out Vauxhall townhouse places fine eateries, gorgeous pubs, well-heeled shopping districts and The Oval cricket ground within easy reach. Each room's subtle design, replete with wooden furniture, creates a calming space that beckons you to relax after a day on your feet. Spread over four floors, there is plenty of space for guests to get some privacy here – we think the reading room and study will be hits with quiet seekers, while the olive trees and ponds in the garden create a perfect spot to feast on baked goods from the nearby artisan bakery.

Home truths:
*While the second and third bathrooms aren't photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*This home is spread over four floors without a lift. It may not be suitable for those with limited mobility.
*This home is located in a Low Traffic Neighbourhood, so there is no through traffic
*Parking in central London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible. That said, we think the best way to see the city is on foot.
