The Queensdale

You'll find this charming family home tucked away on a quiet, gated mews just a ten-minute walk from Holland Park Station. The location is perfect for exploring West London – enjoy morning strolls through the Japanese gardens at Holland Park (a ten-minute walk), admire the pastel-coloured houses in Notting Hill (about fifteen minutes away), rifle through the bric-a-brac at Portobello Road Market (twenty minutes on foot) or shop the latest fashions at Westfield London (reachable in ten). Excellent dining, local coffee joints and independent stores line the streets, and we think a family or group of friends will be pleased to call this postcode home. Speaking of home, this pad has everything you need for a getaway. We loved the period features and the amount of space on offer. Kick back and relax in the cosy living area with a good book and a glass of wine, or if you need to tend to some business, the desk upstairs is the perfect spot to do so. When you're feeling peckish, rustle up a meal in the country-style kitchen, then gather around the dining table in the sunny conservatory for a family dinner. End the evening with a movie night before making your way upstairs and snuggling up in the sumptuous beds.
