The Impressionist's Fireplace

Bordering the upmarket districts of Chelsea and Belgravia, this stunning four-storey terraced townhouse is set on a lovely residential street, just a short walk from Sloane Square, Kings Road and some of London's most fascinating museums. For unmatched access to the best of the west, look no further.

Its stunning interior looks as though it could've been plucked straight from the pages of Town & Country magazine, with immaculately preserved period features sitting alongside vibrant contemporary furniture, luxurious natural materials and eye-catching artwork.

We can think of little better than cosying up around the fire on cold winter days, preparing heart-warming family meals in the modern reimagining of a farmhouse kitchen, before sitting down to eat at the eight-seater dining table. And when the warmer months roll around, the quaint courtyard allows you to move those meals outside, while the giant outdoor sofa provides you with plenty of space to relax.

If the office falls apart without you there, then you'll find the dedicated office invaluable if you need to fire off a few emails, while a quiet moment is just a closed door away in any of the four bedrooms, decorated in electric blues and zingy pinks.

Home truths:
*Access to the home is via a private entrance
*The home is set over four floors with stair access only, so it's not suitable for guests with more limited mobility
*Smoking is only allowed on the balcony and in the garden
*Public transport links are generally excellent, so we'd recommend against bringing a car with you – Sloane Square station is under half a mile away
*Despite being located in a quiet residential area, some street noise is to be expected
*Only two out of the four bedrooms have air conditioners available
