New Malden, Great Britain

Our house was built in the 1930’s and is full of character including hardwood floors and original doors and picture rails. It has 3 reception rooms downstairs: a lounge, a separate dining room, and a drawing room with fireplace, TV and piano (the drawing room sofa converts to a sofa-bed). The spacious kitchen has a four-ring gas hob, a double electric oven, a fridge-freezer and is well-equipped. It adjoins a downstairs cloakroom with toilet and washing machine and there is a tumble-dryer. Off the kitchen is our ‘garden room’, a lovely airy space with seating inside for 4-6 and patio doors that fold right back so it opens onto the garden.
Upstairs is laid out as 4 bedrooms, but we currently use two as offices. We have a double bed in the master bedroom (with ensuite shower, toilet and basin); a double bed in the guest room; and a spare single bed in storage that we can set up if you need it. The bedroom configuration can be adjusted to some extent according to need and the sofabed is pretty comfortable. The family bathroom has been recently refurbished and has a bath, over-bath shower, toilet and wash-basin.
There is wi-fi and gas central heating throughout.
Outside, patio doors lead onto the terrace and mature garden. Garden furniture will allow you to enjoy drinks and meals outside and there are trees for shade (and a parasol) if its hot and sunny. The front drive will have room for one car off road, but you can also park on the road for free. We use bicycles a lot to get around and could negotiate use of our bikes. We could also discuss use of our hybrid family car while we are away.
