About us

I’m a horticultural therapist working part time. My 10 year old daughter is a big book and gaming lover. We are a easy going and relaxed home educating family, we love nature, meditation, yoga , good food, gardening, music, books and films.

Our ideal tenant:

Professional woman. Busy, happy, positive, tidy and clean. Because we are a small family this room would not suit a party lover.

The property:

Our maisonette consists of two bedrooms, two bathrooms, lounge and open plan kitchen. An original railway cottage built in 1867 when Ladywell station was first constructed. Conservation area with a village feel. Lots of original design features such as exposed brick, fireplaces, and high ceilings.

The garden

One of the best features of the property is the large garden - spacious, quiet and private. Great for relaxing, sunbathing, reading or entertaining. A permaculture organic garden, nearly 100 ft long with medicinal herbs, fruit trees and lots of edible perennials. BBQ and outdoor wood burner with a large table for outdoor dining. A real oasis in London. We love growing food, and I would be happy to share my knowledge.
