Description Alfred's Park: Paris

With gardens that spill onto the pretty Monceau Park, this two-bedroom ground floor apartment is as grand as it gets. Once part of a much larger 19th-century home, this home also has lots of old world charm with its woodwork pieces, marble fireplaces and large gold gilt mirrors. You'll also love the outdoor terrace - perfect for a glass or two of wine in the evening.

Home truths:
* This home is located on the ground floor but steps must be climbed to access the front door

* Because of the ceiling height and grand furniture, this home may not be suited to those who prefer cosy interiors

* The staircase to access the first floor is narrow

* The kitchen is on the small side
