Under the Apple Tree

Under the Apple Tree: Greater London

This family-sized maisonette puts you in the already up-and-came neighbourhood of Brixton. You’re within walking distance of vast green spaces for sunny days (it’s a five-minute walk to Brockwell Park with its Lido) and the lively streets packs with indie clothing boutiques, global eateries and street art. Make the fiteen-minute walk to Pop Brixton for the best of the bunch.

The home itself is within a traditional London townhouse with big bay windows letting in plenty of natural light. A book-filled living room with plush velvet sofas feels homely and luxurious at the same time and the solid wood floors throughout are a lovely touch. The kitchen, in raven-black, has all the bits and pieces you need for self-catering and it leads out to a huge garden. This really is the piece de resistance, with a big lawn for kids to run around on, walled for privacy and with loungers and outdoor dining. There’s a hammock and deckchairs too.

Home truths:
*This home is spread across two floors so may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*There is no private parking with this home, but Brixton underground is just a fifteen-minute walk
*The hot tub is a Jacuzzi bathtub in the bathroom
