Terraced house to rent in London SW15, 4 Bedroom

A genuine find in southwest London, Queen Mary's Place is an enchanting haven of tranquillity - a stone's throw from Richmond Park, yet ideally located for the many attractions of Putney, Barnes, and Richmond. At its heart stands this elegantly stylish, modern former show home.

Entering through a long, almost theatrical hallway, one emerges into a welcomingly laid-back, open plan kitchen-dining-living room, with patio doors opening on to a well designed and planted garden - creating a versatile space both for daily life and for entertaining family and friends.

Upstairs to the first floor, there is a comfortable lounge, with doors leading out on to a large balcony overlooking the garden, another welcome outdoor space. Along the landing is the master bedroom with built-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom. The second floor has three further bedrooms, one with ensuite shower room, and a family bathroom.

As well as a useful, good sized garage - quite rare in London - there is off street parking for a second vehicle. Making the journey to work a little easier there is a commuter shuttle bus, which runs during peak hours to and from Putney for both train and Tube connections. In addition to the shuttle, there is a bus stop directly opposite Queen Mary's Place offering a frequent service to Hammersmith, Richmond, and Putney, including Barnes and Putney railway stations with their connections into Waterloo and points beyond.

As well as having Richmond Park on the doorstep, a short walk takes you to Putney Heath and on to Wimbledon Common - with the allure of a pleasant, relaxing stroll to Wimbledon village. Or for more rigorous exercise there is a well-equipped residents' gym.

Queen Marys Place is particularly family friendly, with children of all ages enjoying the sense of community. Note to parents of school-age children: There are a number of excellent schools in the area. The closest, Ibstock Place, a well regarded, high-achieving independent school is just around the corner.

Even without the numerous perks, the unique appeal of the development quickly becomes apparent. Firstly, the roads are a calm place with virtually no traffic, a boon for parents of young children, who play happily outdoors year-round - again quite a rare feature in modern-day London. Along with numerous eye-pleasing architectural features, there are two formal gardens: A beautifully maintained rose garden and a sunken garden with fountain, overlooked by the magnificent 18th century, Grade I listed Roehampton House.
