Whether you’re looking for an urban townhouse or a rural escape, we’ve selected our six favourite family homes for sale in London and beyond.
Clean Slate: Falkland Road, London N8
Completed earlier in 2017 by award-winning architects Paul Archer Design, this beautifully-extended terraced house sits just north of Finsbury Park. The open-plan living space on the ground floor cantilevers over wood-framed glazed doors that open onto a peaceful garden.
Spick & Span: Templemere, Weybridge, Surrey
This beautifully bright and spacious four-bedroom house is located on Templemere – a coveted group of Modern houses designed by Span architect Eric Lyons in the early 1960s. The estate sits within 12 acres of landscape gardens and has its own private stretch of river and woodlands, giving it a wonderfully rural appeal whilst being only 30 minutes from London.
Green Light: Dunlace Road, London E5
Sitting on a quiet residential street in Lower Clapton, this wonderfully-refurbished Victorian house has large sash windows and welcoming interiors. The house is a short walk from Victoria Park and Chatsworth Road – an incredibly popular area of east London with a farmers market every Sunday, and a sophisticated collection of cafes, shops and pubs.
Escape the City: West Molesey, Surrey
This lovingly modernised four-bedroom house is located close to the River Thames and Hampton Court Palace. The main living area is made cosy by a log burner, whilst large sliding doors open the space out to the front garden.
Frame Work: Imperial Club, London SE23
Positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Forest Hill is this elegant new development by Frame property group. This minimal mews house is wonderfully bright, and has its own courtyard garden and roof terrace.
Heart of Hackney: Killowen Road, London E9
Tucked away in a peaceful terrace in central Hackney, this radically remodelled townhouse has wonderfully flexible, open-plan interiors. A bespoke kitchen island provides the focal point to the socal space, leading through to a dining area that opens directly onto a private patio garden.
