Spacious home with garden in West London close to Imperial/LSE/UCL

Description

We are professors at LSE and Queen Mary University of London, and the house is available for at least two years or longer for academic couples and families to stay in London. We are happy to hear from guests interested in both one year and two year stays (or longer) as suitable. The house is a bright and airy semi-detached property, fully furnished, with a large/double reception room (with large patio doors to the garden) and kitchen downstairs, hallway (with wooden floor) and a large bathroom and three bedrooms upstairs, with new furniture. Central heating is brand new and eco-friendly (installed November 2023). The Central line station is a three minutes’ walk from the house with quick and regular access to central London. The house is five minutes away from a Sainsbury's supermarket, post office and other local shops, GP's surgery, dentist, and local restaurants. There is parking outside for several cars and a very large back garden, perfect for barbecues and summer parties, and especially families with children. Local cinemas and shopping malls are a 10 min drive or a 15 min bus ride away. I have commuted to the University of Oxford as well from this house, by car it is a 40-45 minute drive. It is brilliantly located on the Central Line (red line) of the London Underground, 3 minutes away, and right next to the local leisure centre with a 25meter swimming pool and state of the art gym. The quick connections to anywhere in central London is the best feature of this property, along with the recently refurbished interior, new furniture and new firm mattress in the main bedroom, very quiet residential neighbourhood on a tree lined street, and a 120 foot back garden which is wonderful in all seasons. The house is ideally suited for a small family, but we have lived there as a couple and there are currently an academic couple from LSE living there, it provides ample space to spread out and work. The recently installed Central Heating boiler with a very efficient heating system, keeps the house warm with low heating costs in winter. In the case of need for a baby cot for a toddler, or safety barriers, we still have these of our own child, we would be happy to help out. We are long term London residents and would be able to help with anything that may be convenient for interested parties. Please feel free to ask. The rent does not include utility bills and they usually come to close to/under £400 per month. We would ideally wish the guests to directly pay for the utilities, but this can all be discussed, we are happy to assist with what works best.
