WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"We've lived in the general area for over 10 years and moved into this flat 5 years ago as our first home together. We absolutely love the area and it's been the perfect first step onto the property ladder. Since being here, we've made it our own with a completely new kitchen and refreshed bathroom. We've also added in-built storage to the property to make the space more efficient. We've loved our time here – we'll miss coffees and sandwiches at Jolene, popping to Stella's for bacon, the unrivalled veg shop downstairs and pints at Lady Mildmay. (P.s. the area's just been voted London's Coolest Neighbourhood on Time Out.)"
