About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Our house is furnished as a home, in a traditional English country house style.

Our house is furnished as a home, in an English country house style, rather than an empty rental property, with a comfortable Heals bed and French linen sheets.

We have three rooms on the ground floor, as well as a separate kitchen. There are stairs up to the two bedrooms both light and airy. One faces south and overlooks the garden the other faces the road. There is a bathroom upstairs, with a 6’ bath and the downstairs bathroom has a shower.
The conservatory room has fully folding doors opening onto a verdant, south facing garden, which has a bistro table and chairs and bench seat.


We are 250m from Battersea Bridge, and Chelsea Yacht and boat club. We are two minutes walk from the Thames Path, a broad promenade that stretches for miles in either direction, a wonderful place to explore on foot, or on a bike, which you can hire from a nearby docking station. There are plenty of riverside restaurants, cafes and bars and regular piers where you can pick up a river boat taxi, to whisk you further upstream. Battersea Park, is a six minute walk away, along the river, which has a lovely lake, boats for hire, cafes, an adventure play ground, with high rise tree walks, a zoo, tennis courts and glorious garden walks. We have three river taxi stops nearby, my favourite is the one on the far side of Battersea Park, which runs every half hour. ( First stop, the Tate Gallery) you can buy a day ticket and spend a very enjoyable day visiting all the sites along the river, it’s a great thing to do on your first day in London.

The bus stop, just before the bridge, has buses that will take you to the museums, in Kensington, the shops in King's Road, High Street Kensington and Knightsbridge ( Harrods ), the theatres in Piccadilly and Covent Garden and Buckingham Palace.
Getting to Gatwick airport, via Clapham Junction, a nearby hub, ( also a short bus ride away ) takes half an hour. Heathrow is forty minutes, on the underground, from South Kensington.
If you prefer to walk, we are a gentle 20 minute walk from three underground stations, Sloane Square, South Kensington and Gloucester Road.
Chelsea Harbour is a 15 minute walk away, notable for its design centre for anyone interested in home design. There is also a relatively, newly opened overground station called Imperial Wharf, in the Chelsea Harbour area.
Re overground/National rail stations you can get to Victoria Station in 10mins on a 170 bus ( northbound) or take the same bus from a stop in Battersea Church Road and you will be in Clapham Junction in 8 mins, which is a main hub for rail travel, if you want to go to Strawberry Hill or Hampton Court, Windsor …..

Please be aware that the garden room is not heated and therefore not suitable as a dining room during the winter, instead we use a small table in the middle room to eat at.
The public transport around this holiday home gets good marks from our customers. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Thames River. A water park is available. The holiday home offers a kitchen and 2 bathrooms.

A true HOME in the heart of London
We stayed for 35 days this summer and enjoyed every day being able to come back HOME to Denise’s house! The conservatory was a great place to have breakfast and read the paper in the morning! And we loved relaxing in the living room, surrounded by antiques, when we returned at night. The kitchen was amply stocked for daily cooking. Denise was above and beyond reachable and helpful. The house is walkable to a bus stop, which was a launch point to get us everywhere we needed to go! The neighborhood is super safe, close to a beautiful park, yoga studios, and two grocery stores! We would definitely return!

Lovely and quiet English house
We stayed at Denise's house for almost a week in July 2024 and thoroughly enjoyed it. The house is a classic Enghlish house that is tastefully decorated with lots of paintings and antiques. It is clean, spacious and fully supplied for our family of 3. We loved sitting in the sun room in the back having dinner and talking about our day. There were a couple hot days in London but the house was surprisingly cool inside. There were fans and portable air coolers that we could use if need be. The location is convenient to explore London by bus. Its right around the corner to the bus stop where you can take bus 19 to the center (Soho, Chinatown, West End...) it may take a little longer on the bus but you get to see the city. There's also an Uber boat station down the road where we took the boat all the way to London Tower bridge and got to see London from the water. We enjoyed spending time in Battersea park, a beautiful and huge park along the Thames. Battersea Station mall and the reataurants around there at the other end of the park were fun to explore. We had breakfast everyday at Parker London café just a short walk from the house. They have yummy fresh baked goods, great coffee and realxing vibes. We happened to be just a short bus ride to Good Cake Day and picked up some of the beat brownies in London. Denise, our host is wonderful in communication and making sure that we were taken care of. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. Cheers.

Perfect for a family of 4 for 1 week.
I would stay here again. The location is in a neighborhood just across the river from Chelsea and Kensington, with a grocery store nearby, safe and well cared for area, located two blocks from the primary bus stop, although coming home immediately in front of the flat. The home (yes, it is the host's actual home. She travels when it is rented) is comfortable and has all the conveniences. Not once did we feel uneasy about being in Denise's home. The 2-story flat was clean, dust-free, roomy, and comfortable for a family of 4 (parents + high school & college daughters). Denise often reached out and we were in touch in advance of and during the stay. She offered accommodations we did not expect, and we were grateful for them. Denise is a gracious host, clean & comfortable flat, and a great fit for us!

Charming Home Close to Center!
Gosh! We were delighted with our stay at Denise's home. My daughter (22) and I spent 9 nights there and it was wonderful. Well stocked kitchen with lovely things to prepare meals (we only made breakfasts and snacks); close to a co-op to pick up odds and ends. Bus stop around the corner that we used to easily get to central London and other various points. Excellent area for walking as well, just along the river and into Battersea Park, but I also walked into Chelsea/Sloan Square. Beds are very comfortable with lovely linens. Neighborhood felt very safe even at night, no issues. Denise is great--very communicative and helpful. This is clearly a home, so if you are looking for a sterile, boring rental property, this isn't for you. If you want a lovely charming home for your stay in a neighborhood close to the center with a fabulous host than this is it! Would not hesitate to stay again.

Wonderful Townhouse
My husband and I loved staying in this townhome. We found it to be the perfect location that was convenient for walking in Battersea Park, along the Thames, or to the bus stop. We also loved all of the beautiful artwork, antiques, and personal touches throughout. The bed, made up with beautiful linens, was very comfortable. The residential neighborhood was very quiet at night. We were out sightseeing daily, but had dinner at home every night. Great kitchen that had everything you would need to cook a meal. Denise was a delight to work with. Communication with her was excellent, she thought of everything to make us comfortable. We highly recommend staying here and we would definitely stay again.

Fun Time in London
We really enjoyed our stay in London, host had us very organized and checking in was very easy. Location was great and close to a beautiful park, and bus/boat taxi stations. Super easy to get around. We found it could be a little noisy at times from the airport and street traffic, but would book again in the future.

Denise’s cottage was idyllic and cozy. The neighborhood feels safe and is active with work traffic being close to the bridge. My 20 yr old chose this spot for its location and the budget. She did well finding this lil gem. Appreciated the comfortable beds and especially loved that the linens were cotton, thank you! It has a great local coffee spot around the corner, gourmet grocery nearby, a coop up the street. great sunset walks along the Thames & Battrrsea Park.

Cozy, quaint house, great host.
This was the perfect location for our 11 night stay. The house had all amenties that we needed. Denise answered all questions in a very timely manner and even dropped off a replacement hair dryer for us. My husband loved reading in the sunroom with the back sliding door open. We even saw a cute fox in the back garden.We bought groceries at the co-op a block away and made breakfast every morning before heading out to the nearby bus stop which took us to most locations in London, and connecting tube stations. There was great wifi, water pressure in the shower and a very comfortable bed with beautiful linens. Even though the weather was unusually warm, there was a very nice cross breeze in the house when we had the french doors open in the bedroom which kept us comfortably cool in the evenings. The decor was cozy and the perfect representation of a traditional English home.

Location location !!
The location is great with nearby stores, parks, transportation and restaurants. But there are the little things like the broken gate, everywhere in the house are scented oils almost to cover up the smell of something else. The house is rustic with unfinished wood work everywhere. Its not quite finished. Internet and streaming is great while storage seemed a strange and interesting what you might find.

Snug London base for a group of 1-4
Our family of 4 (parents and two daughters, 25 and 21) had a great week at this well-located and well-equipped house. Most of central London is within 15 to 45 minutes by walk, bus and/or Tube, and we also had an easy time using rail from the nearby Clapham Junction station for several trips farther out. Lots of good pubs and restaurants, coffee shops and markets within a few blocks. The house is well stocked with kitchen and bath basics and London guides, and emailing with Denise was easy. There are two floors, so probably not a good choice for someone who has serious issues with stairs, but assuming that's not an issue, we recommend it enthusiastically.

Felt safe and at home
The house was in a great location, with easy transport options at the end of the street. Also a block from the Thames and a lovely park. Also a supermarket, cafes, etc at both ends of the street. Everything we needed. The house itself was character filled and spacious. Such lovely rooms and the linen was excellent. Even nice touches of having boxes of tissues, shampoo etc was very much appreciated. Denise the host was so caring - it felt like our mum, or aunt or a friend was checking in with us- to ensure we got into the property and that we were safe and had everything we needed. She even moved the cleaner's day to suit us and was flexible when we needed to change a check out time. The property and Denise herself, were both excellent! Very happy with our stay! Highly recommend.

Great location with a true English vibe!
This quaint English townhome was in a great location: short walk to the local Co-op, restaurants and transportation. The Battersea park was about a mile away and was such a treat to walk through every day. The home has everything you need to make you feel at home. We love to cook, so, having everything including spices was terrific. The home is on the flight path to Heathrow, so, the airplanes are heard each morning around 6 am until around 9:00 pm, however, we got used to it quickly. We also loved to look up through the glass ceiling in the patio to view them. The owner Denise was FANTASTIC! She was attentive to any need we had. Oh, and we had a little visitor each morning: a little fox would enter the garden in the back and peek in the French doors to say hello. :-)

Denise was very friendly and kept us informed about everything we needed for our stay. The house was well appointed and felt like home. The shower had good warmth and pressure.

An 'English Cottage' a stones throw from London!!!
The London area being quite large initially gave me a feeling of locating a needle in a haystack in terms of choosing an all encompassing VRBO property. Upon choosing this property, I can honestly say that I found the needle!!! The house is so cute and hospitable with a full modern kitchen complete with washer, cable t.v., sunroom, and I the list goes on-I could not say enough about this property. It is decorated as though you were staying in the English country-side which only adds to the character. The property location has a bus stop in front of the house which links up to all other forms of transit from tube to train. Speaking of which the train is mere minutes via the same bus stop (in front of the house) which will take you to anywhere you'd like to travel in England. Simply access Google Maps and you can plan out anything. Having a family we were very happy to have had a CoOp grocery within a one minute walk. Further down near Chapham Junction were larger grocery stores and very nice eats with street vendors who sold very nice sandwiches as well as yes...a McDonalds :) This location is also only a few minutes walk of the Thames River which has a beautiful large path that leads you to Battersea Park and also the water taxi to explore the view. Very beautiful city location that is quiet yet 'close' to everything!!! Lastly, our new friends Denise and Antony! Using this VRBO has forever changed how I will travel. Denise was absolutely a gem-answering any and all questions our party had concerning everything. From the property to tourism, groceries, travel, and everything else; Denise was there for us. Both Denise and Antony provided books and maps at the house as well as photos and travel advise prior to our arrival-absolutely wonderful people!!! In short-this property should be reserved all year around; I'm giving you the needle in the haystack...enjoy your travels!!!
