Description Soft As Starlight: London

Dressed in a palette of soft green, cream and white, with an abundance of sumptuous furnishings and plenty of homely touches, this family abode is a wonderful retreat to return to after a day spent exploring the affluent nearby neighbourhoods of St John’s Wood and Maida Vale.

Spend afternoons eating and drinking your way along Kilburn High Road, a five-minute walk away, before visiting the iconic Abbey Road Studios, reached in twenty-five minutes by foot. If you’re keen to head into the heart of London, Kilburn Park Underground Station is less than ten minutes away.

Back at your pad, the light-filled sitting room is the perfect place to steal a moment for yourself with a paperback picked from your host’s bookshelves. There’s an open-plan kitchen-diner that’s perfect for socialising and a handy playroom, as well as a large garden, to keep the little ones occupied while you prepare supper. Evenings are to be spent playing table tennis until it’s time to retreat to the well-turned-out bedrooms for a restful slumber.
