私たちの家は、英国のカントリーハウススタイルの家として提供されています。

I am a prep school teacher, in a local Catholic boys school, where I have taught for longer than I care to admit to.......I moved around Europe, as a child, as my father's job took him to different countries, I have rusty Italian, German, Spanish and French........
My partner is lucky enough to own a rustic... Very basic.... barn, built of straw bales, where we can retreat to, leaving me able to rent out my London house, during the school holidays.

I have lived here since 1990, I find it the most perfect place. I love London, its energy and space. We are right in the centre of the action..... King's Road, Knightbridge, the 1960's hey day... Yet in the hub of all the recent river development. The riverside walk, which is 100 yards from our house gives up opportunities for long walks or cycle rides along the river, plenty of restaurants and cafes, a five minute walk to Battersea Park, with its boating lake, extensive gardens and best of all the new river boat taxi , which carries you speedily through the centre of London, from the West End to Dock Land, enabling you to jump on and jump off to galleries, theatres, historic buildings and lively markets. Or just sit on the boat, have a coffee from the on board Costa, and view the major sights from the comfort of your catamaran.
The air is good as there is usually a wind coursing down the river. The area is safe. A local supermarket at the end of the road , next to the fashionable pizza, restaurant, Bunga Bunga. Our favourite restaurant a short walk over the river is The Ivy, which has a fantastic garden to eat in as well.
Our house has a secluded garden, a rarity in London, and a garden room with bifold ing doors allowing lots of light and fresh air. It's a small Georgian terraced house, ( circa 1820 ) , a traditional cottage, used to be called a two up two down. The walls are hung with watercolours. ( not an ultra modern house) It is quiet, unless there is an east wind, and then we do hear some planes coming in.
