Five minutes walk from Hammersmith (tube Piccadilly, District and Hammersmith & City Lines) and ten minutes from the River Thames, Brackenbury Village, with its collection of pretty artesian cottages, larger family houses and "old London" feel, is a popular choice of dwelling with actors, writers and media types.

Built at the turn of the 19th century, this house retains many of its original Edwardian features - wooden flooring, fireplaces, ceiling mouldings and cornicing. It's on three floors with two double bedroom, a twin bedroom, a child's bedroom and a sofa-bed. There are three bathrooms and a guest cloakroom. The house is ideal for a family with young children.

The attractive paved patio area (20ft x 20ft, 6m x 6m) is fully enclosed and has informal outdoor seating.

There's also a guest loo on the ground floor.

Stairs from the kitchen lead to the downstairs "playroom" (15ft6 x 11ft6, 4.7m x 3.5m). This is essentially a kids domain and but there's also a TV+DVD player and a sofa that converts to a double bed. The utility room with washing machine and dryer is also on this floor.

On the half-landing between the ground and first floor is a twin bedroom (13ft9 x 9ft9, 4.2m x 3m) - sorry no photo, a bathroom with bath, basin and loo and a bedroom with a 4ft6 long bed, only suitable for a child.

The first floor is taken up by the light and airy master bedroom (16ft3 x 14ft, 5m x 4.3m) with 6ft wide bed. It is joined (no door) with its en-suite bathroom (12ft3 x 8ft6, 3.7m x 2.6m) with twin "his and her" basins, cast-iron bath tub, separate shower and loo.

There are a number of good restaurants and "gastro-pubs" within 5 minutes walk. Ravenscroft Park (2 children's play areas) is 7 minutes walk away.
