An Expansive Hub for Your Group 🧭 This is a traditional London layout, doubled. The estate is focused on providing twelve luxurious bedroom sanctuaries and two complete kitchen/dining hubs.

Instead, the dual-house layout offers unparalleled flexibility, perfect for large groups who value having multiple spaces and private retreats to unwind in after a day of exploring.
Your Private Sanctuaries 🛌 (Twelve Bedrooms) Each of the twelve lockable bedrooms is a private retreat designed for ultimate comfort and convenience. 💤 Sink into a high-quality, medium-firm mattress, kept cozy with an electric underblanket. Full blackout curtains ensure a restful sleep. 📺 Unwind with a 4K Smart TV, complete with Disney+, Apple TV+, and more. 💡 Set the mood with dimmable lighting, and stay productive at the desk with two chairs. 🔌 Each room provides universal adapters, a hairdryer, and a full-length mirror.
Six Full Bathrooms 🚿 The estate includes six full bathrooms. Two are private en-suites connected to their respective bedrooms, while four additional full bathrooms are conveniently located on the stairway landings for the other rooms to share. All feature powerful, hot showers and are stocked with luxurious, sustainable shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.
Dual Kitchens & Dining Hubs 🍳🍳 (Basement Level) Your group will have exclusive access to two fully stocked kitchens, offering incredible flexibility for large group catering and dining. ☕ Enjoy complimentary premium instant coffee and a selection of teas in both kitchens. ⚙️ Each kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, induction hob, oven, microwave, toaster, kettle, and a complete set of cookware, crockery, and glassware.
Two Private Patios 🌿 Enjoy not one, but two private patio spaces, each with a small dining table and chairs—a truly rare and peaceful escape in the heart of the city!

Your Private Estate & Dedicated Support ✨ Your complete comfort and privacy are our highest priorities. We believe in giving you the freedom to enjoy this exclusive two-house estate as if it were your own. Both townhouses are exclusively yours during your stay, and no staff will ever enter either property without your express permission and prior arrangement. While you have total independence across the estate, our support is always close at hand.
🧹 Complimentary Housekeeping on Request To ensure your large group stays comfortable, especially during longer visits, we are pleased to offer a complimentary housekeeping service for both houses. Simply send us a message at least one day in advance, and our professional team can provide a refresh of towels, a clean of the bathrooms and kitchens, and a removal of rubbish (available approx. 11am-3pm daily).

Navigating Our Historic Estate 🏛️🏛️ As a historic Grade II listed estate, both townhouses are full of unique character. Their original narrow staircases 🪜 connect all floors in each respective home. This is a key part of their charm, but please consider this if your group has heavy luggage or any mobility concerns.
Your Safety Across the Estate ✅ Your group's well-being across the entire estate is our top priority. Both homes are fully certified with annual gas and electrical safety inspections. For fire safety, each house is independently equipped with interlinked, mains-powered smoke alarms in every room, along with its own fire extinguisher, fire blanket, and first-aid kit 🔥. For your security, a camera is located in the front entryway of each townhouse.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 6 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 12 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a desk.
