The Conran

Effortlessly stylish, this home is more of a serene retreat rather than a traditional homestay. The open-plan living space is beautifully elegant, replicating the feel of an art gallery or an exclusive Scandinavian hotel. The floor-to-ceiling glass windows give an expansive view of the garden, blending the indoors and outdoors, so you don’t feel as if you’re in London at all. In an equally idyllic and peaceful neighbourhood, the home’s location is ideal for exploring traditional English pubs on lazy afternoons or stomping around the hills of Hampstead Heath on an Autumn day.

Home truths:
* This is a lived-in home so there will be some of the owner's personal clothing and possessions present
* This North London locale is for those wanting a quieter, local London experience, rather than being in the centre of the action
* The home is set over five floors so there are plenty of stairs
* We are currently missing photographs of one of the bedrooms
* Since our visit, two double beds have replaced the original single beds
