Crystal Clear, by Veeve

A hearty helping of old-school British charm is given a dazzling modern makeover in this four-bedroom townhouse. Glamour and comfort go hand-in-hand here, allowing you to feel right at home (as well as infinitely more stylish). Settled on a quiet, leafy street and boasting its own garden oasis with al fresco dining area, it'll take something seriously compelling to lure you away. Luckily, the enchantingly historic neighbourhood of Greenwich is right on the doorstep.

Offering breathtaking views, a slew of must-see maritime attractions and the kind of architecture that transports you back in time, you'll certainly be glad of a few quiet evenings on the patio after all the excitement. Once you've rested up though, it's a piece of cake to get around town with Greenwich station just minutes away and Greenwich Pier offering the enticing option of a boat trip up the Thames.

There's an expert blend of elegance and homeliness here that's hard to come by. Out to impress as soon as you step inside is a spacious living room, where simple wood floors and invitingly cushy chairs bring a contrasting cosiness to the gilded features and arresting artwork. We'd recommend beginning by snuggling up on the cushion-stacked sofa by the window to enjoy a morning coffee. Quiet nights in call for a glass of wine on one of the plush armchairs behind, where a chandelier brings an elevated mood. Adjacent to this space, a reposeful lounge area provides the perfect spot for a film night with its large TV, striking emerald interiors and luxurious leather sofa.

Downstairs, you'll find a modern kitchen area modelling fresh, light-filled interiors and a generously-sized breakfast bar. The dining table lends an extra slice of style with its metallic top and industrial leather chairs. Doors open onto a neatly manicured garden, complete with patio and separate dining corner (plus BBQ). The four bedrooms keep it charmingly simple with fresh interiors and a minimalist aesthetic. However, the final word has to go to the principal bedroom, featuring a majestic super-king bed and swish en-suite bathroom.

We Love
It's hard to limit ourselves here, but it'd be remiss of us not to give a nod to the bathrooms. The principal en-suite bathroom encapsulates the overarching 'old charm meets new cool' vibe, pairing wood floors and a decorative fireplace with a sleek, freestanding bath tub and popping teal tiles. There's also that classic London brag of street parking available, which we think is a big plus for any home.
