I fell love with this house because it was so close to everything my kids and I needed--public transport, shops, park, cinema, cafes, restaurants (pizza, burgers, also fancy dining), doctor's surgery, post office, ice cream parlour.
What made my heart sing was all the light inside the house and the wooden floors and staircase built by the previous owner who was a master carpenter.
I picked the area to have a big green park nearby for running, also a sports centre a block away with two swimming pools, a full gym and exercise classes.
And it's only 20 mins by Tube to get to Borough Market, Leicester Square, and other central sites.
