Everyday People

With a blue velvet sofa, faux brick wallpaper and an array of houseplants and eclectic decorations, this apartment in quiet Hendon is the definition of warm and welcoming. It feels like a true home-from-home, and as you'll find plenty of board games, toys and books, it's the perfect option for families. The cosy all-in-one living area is where you'll spend most of your time, rustling up meals in the well-stocked kitchen, gathering for family dinners in front of the large picture window or settling down for a movie night on the comfy couch. When you're ready for bed, there are three cosy bedrooms to snuggle up in – the master in the loft has impressive skylights, so you'll fall asleep every evening under the stars. Though this area is quite a distance from London's city centre, the apartment is located on a tree-lined street in a friendly neighbourhood. It’s just a five-minute drive to the bustling Brent Cross Shopping Centre and about a twenty-minute walk to Hendon Central underground station.
