| Self-catering Victorian house / flat midway between Heathrow Airport and Piccadilly Circus |
Well-maintained charming 2-storey terraced Victorian cottage with dark mahogany parquet floor, upstairs bathroom/shower, 1 double bedroom, 1 single with easy access to bright, insulated loft above. Bright conservatory-style fitted kitchen with double-glazed roof windows (dishwasher, microwave, washing machine) and Italian terracotta floor tiles. Two sofa-beds in living room. Plenty of linen, duvets, pillows, towels. Full crockery, utensils in kitchen.
Pretty patio garden backs into a quiet park and a sought-after primary/elementary school. Popular church at end of the street with an active community and child-care services. Situated midway between Heathrow Airport and Covent Garden on the Piccadilly Line, short walk to Northfields tube station zone 3, near supermarkets and shops and four parks.
Convenient for international commuters and vacationers. Perfect for a quiet retreat, sabbatical, for single, couple, or small family (no more than 2 small children).
Interesting history, including house concerts when there was once a grand piano. Safe, quiet and friendly neighbourhood (owner started the Neighbourhood Watch which became a Residents Association on this street) in the greenest borough of London. Excellent for cycling, running, walking. Plenty of cycling maps and local restaurant menus for take-aways. Fast trains to Reading, Oxford, the west of England, and London Paddington. Parking vouchers available.
Rent depends on season, length of stay, and number of guests. Long term stays (min. 6 months) quoted here for up to 2 nonsmoking adults, (short term rate is considerably more than quoted here) depending on season and circumstances, excluding bills (avg. monthly rate water 20, elec 25, gas 35), wireless high speed internet access (20 per month), TV license fees (13 per month), and council tax (140 per month). No smoking or outdoor shoes in the house to keep it clean and quiet on the wooden stairs & floors.

Read their comments in the guestbook (linked below). Well-travelled overseas owner has carefully furnished the house with original artwork of professional artist friends/family.
