Description West Garden Retreat: London

Seconds from the Thames and minutes from the King's Road, this ground-floor apartment pairs the sophistication if its location with a standout private garden. Safely down a flight of steps, through the front door you'll find the living room and kitchen area, with tasteful furnishings and plenty of light (though the small counter in place of a dining table is unable to seat four). Further inside you'll find two double bedrooms, one of which is cramped and lacks direct access to the garden. Indeed, it's the garden that sets this home apart, with an attractive Mediterranean ambience and sense of sanctuary. You'll be walking distance from Chelsea's many popular shops and cafes, and ten minutes from Imperial Wharf station.

Home truths:
*There are approximately six steps leading down to the front door here. It might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.
*While the large bed in the second bedroom makes for a great night's sleep, it does feel a little big for the room.
