This is the ideal house for a family who wish to visit London. The garden is a fabulous space with swings and a huge trampoline. It is a spacious and very comfortable family home in a pleasant residential street and has excellent transport into Central London. You can be in the West End in 30 minutes, or you can spend time locally in fashionable Queens Park, Notting Hill, Portobello and Kensal Rise. Downstairs there are 3 large rooms: kitchen with large table (the kitchen has a utility room off it where washing and drying can be done), dining room with large table, and a comfortable sitting room with lovely open fire where there is a double sofa bed. There is also a spacious entrance hall with a w.c. off it. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms: One large double room with a king size wooden bed, one single room and one twin room.
We have recently built a beautiful studio right beside the house which is self-contained and has its own separate entrance. The studio is ideal for a couple or single person. It has its own shower room with toilet as well as a mini kitchen, dining table, sofa and TV. Upstairs is an open mezzanine floor with king-size bed. The studio can be swapped on its own or together with the house. We do rent it out for short lets so it kept very clean and simple. Please note that the studio would not be suitable for an elderly person.
We have two adorable cats who are great fun and very easy to care for.

We live in a residential street with a huge park right on our doorstep. The park is lovely with a great cafe. Within a short walk there are shops, cafés and gastro pubs. There is also a local tennis club of which we are members, and a sports club just around the corner. Getting into Central London is easy by public transport, taking just over 30 minutes to get to Oxford Circus.

We are an easy-going family of 5 with 2 girls (18 & 14) and a boy aged 12. Richard is a writer and Yvonne is a French Teacher. We have experienced 3 brilliant exchanges, one fantastic exchange with a family in Barcelona, one to France and an amazing exchange to Brazil. We like to have lots of communication with our exchange family before the holiday to ensure both families have a great time. In summer 2013 we are looking for somewhere with a pool where we haven't been before. In mid Feb or April 2014, we would really like to do a few days in a ski resort.
