Entering through a spacious hallway, one emerges into a bright, open-plan living room, with separate dining area and handsome, state-of-the-art kitchen.  Suffused with natural light from south-facing windows, French doors open onto a good-sized balcony, providing views in two directions and adding to the overall sense of space.

The spacious master bedroom benefits from a generous built-in wardrobe and well appointed en suite bathroom. The equally well appointed family bathroom is located off the hallway and leads on to bedroom two, a good sized double, also enjoying ample wardrobe space.

The property comes with secure, underground parking, while the bus stop directly opposite Queen Mary's Place offers a frequent service to Putney, Barnes, Richmond and Wimbledon, including Barnes and Putney railway stations with their connections into Waterloo, and Putney Bridge for the District Line on the Tube.

As well as having Richmond Park on the doorstep, a short walk takes you to Putney Heath and on to Wimbledon Common - with the allure of a pleasant, relaxing stroll to Wimbledon village.  Or for more vigorous exercise there is a well-equipped, residents only gym.

Queen Mary's Place is particularly family friendly, with children of all ages enjoying the sense of community.  The area benefits from a number of excellent schools, both primary and secondary.  The closest, Ibstock Place, a well regarded, high-achieving independent school is just around the corner.  The Roehampton University campus, situated on the other side of Roehampton Lane, also lends an appealing, lively buzz to the area.

Even without the numerous plus points, the unique appeal of the development quickly becomes apparent.  Firstly, the roads are a calm place with virtually no traffic - quite a rare feature in modern-day London.  Added to that, along with numerous eye-pleasing architectural features, there are two formal gardens: a beautifully maintained rose garden and a sunken garden with fountain, overlooked by the magnificent 18th century, Grade I listed Roehampton House.

As a showpiece project of developer St. James, part of the Berkeley Group, the properties at QMP were finished to a high standard, creating a sense of quality living that embraces you when you enter.  This feel good factor extends to the immediate environs, indeed the whole of Queen Mary's Place, which provide a kind of decompression zone from the world outside.  All in all, this might just be southwest London's best kept secret....
