Family house in the suburbs
Overview
We live on a busy road in Kingston Upon Thames in a very safe neighbourhood, very close to the train station - which gets you into Waterloo - Central London, in 25 minutes. From Waterloo, there are various tube lines and buses which will take you wherever you wish to go in London. We are on the superloop (which is the express bus route) from Heathrow Airport. There are also 3 24-hour buses from Central London which run close by. Kingston itself is a very historic town with lots to see and do. Kingston was indeed the first place that the occupying Romans could ford the river and lots of Kings in the middle ages were crowned here. The Coronation stone is available for everyone to see where the King had to sit whilst he was crowned, it has a University so lots of cafes, bars and nightclubs as well as historic places of interest to visit as well as a central market, a shopping mall (The Bentall Centre) and shops and boutiques galore. We live within walking distance of Richmond Park a huge royal park with wild deer and perfect for long walks but also the river Thames which is great for local walks. We are also within a bus ride from Hampton Court Palace and Bushey Park, also great places to visit. Our house has 4 bedrooms but our children have now left home, so there are only my husband and myself here now. We have a small double room with a king-sized bed on offer with an en-suite shower room for 2 people sharing, it has french doors onto a balcony and over looks the garden and it has it's own TV. Plus a single room for one person, also with its own TV - residents will use the family bathroom solely for themselves because we have our own bathroom. We also have a chairlift for anyone not able-bodied enough to climb the stairs and there is wi-fi throughout the house. Along with the basic light breakfast of tea/coffee/juice, fruit salad, cereal and/or toast, we will provide an evening meal of two courses (traditional English food) if required, at a cost of £10 per head.
