About this property

Spacious 5 bed family house, large garden, walk to train station and shops. wifi

This is a large house with 5 bedrooms two of which are en-suite.
On the ground floor there is a large kitchen with oven, hob and dishwasher and washing machine, a dining room, a lounge, and a downstairs wc.

Ground floor - en-suite bedroom with shower and king size bed. (sleeps 2)
First floor there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
One large double with a king size bed and folding single bed (sleeps 3)
One large double with king size bed, small sofa and a roll out single bed. (sleeps 3)
Third room on the first floor is a smallish double room which has a single bed with a pull out trundle underneath.
(sleeps 2)

On the top floor (loft room) there is an en-suite bedroom with two single beds. This has an en-suite with bath tub. It has a sloping roof and is more suited to someone who isn't so tall.

The garden is mostly lawn. Please feel free to ask us if you need something that you can't find. There may be bikes available to use if you want to explore the local area - you just need to ask us!

Guests will have private use of the main house and garden.

We (the owners) have a independent annexe to one side/front of the house and have our own private entrance to the side. We may be there from time to time. Guests enter via the main front door and are completely independent.
West Wickham is a lovely area of London and still relatively unknown to tourists. Guests have described it as 'what they expect' of a traditional English town. It's peaceful, the supermarkets and shops are nice and there are plenty of cafe's, restaurants, pubs and parks. Most people say they 'took a chance' coming to an unknown town but all have liked it and have been pleasantly surprised. A few guests even decided to move to the UK and at least 3 separate guests have ended up living in our area.
We are on the doorstep of Kent 'the garden of England' with its many stately homes, castles and pretty towns and villages so if you have a car you will be able to visit lots of interesting places in the countryside.
Surrey is also close, and you can get to the south coast seaside towns like Brighton in about an hour.

West Wickham train station is 6 mins walk away. There are usually 3-4 trains an hour into central London. Trains go to London Bridge, Waterloo East and Charing Cross in 35 - 45 minutes. We are London zone 5. The last train home is around midnight but if you want to stay in London late into the night you can get a train to East Croydon all night long (15 mins journey) and then the N119 night bus (15 mins).

The nearest large town is Bromley which is at most 10 mins by car. We have bus stops near our house. East Croydon is also a short bus ride away and has a very large important station from where you can get a train to Gatwick Airport and the South Coast seaside resorts.
There are fast trains (15mins) to all London stations from nearby Bromley South which is 8 mins on the bus.

Opposite our house there is a park with large area of grass, football pitches and swings, and there is plenty of woodland and nature nearby. Not far away there are golf courses, swimming pool, gym, library and Gambado children's play centre should you get tired of visiting London.

Please report any damage, and remember that people live nearby, so no parties or gatherings with people other than those booked! Important to remember is to be quiet on the drive when coming in late at night, not to rev engines early morning or late at night and not to talk loudly on drive (even on phone) or pavement at night or early morning.

Dated property needs updating
We had a very responsive host but found the property to be a little dated. Locks were missing on bathroom doors and our fundamental problem was with the hot water availability. The water was tepid at best and cold. The boiler is in a room not accessible to guests. The owner was responsive and sent a plumber who confirmed there was a problem. A British Gas engineer was finally sent who managed to sort out the issue but not before we had already stayed there 4 days. The property could also benefit from things like a tumble dryer. We could use the washing machine to wash our clothes and had to spread them around the house to dry them. Small touches make a huge difference. I was not looking for a five star experience but the basic needs that one has at home should have been met.

10/10 Excellent

Very Good
Really a good location to visit London and whereabouts if you need to use trains / buses. House was really big and had all we needed. Will definitely recommend it especially if you have kids as they find lots to do and park is just opposite the road Will surely stay again when we visit again.

10/10 Excellent

Great house for large family
Home was great! Clean, as described, great space for kids indoor and outdoors. Lots of activities for kids in the home. Short walk to the train station and multiple bus lines near the home. Park across the street with playground another positive for travelers with family. The kitchen was well stocked with all needed equipment - not scarce at all.

very good property
We had a few family members over from overseas who stayed at this property for a few days during my daughters wedding. Everyone stayed very comfortably and the property was nice and clean. It was also very spacious and well furbished. The landlord was also very helpful throughout.

Safe upscale property close to all conveniences. Comfortable.
This house took in all seven (7) of us with two bedrooms to spare. Huge family and living room with a well equipped kitchen. Excellent parking. Convenient connections for trains, tube and travel to Gatwick, Heathrow and Paris. Quiet, private and comfortable. I will like to rent it again in the near future as there is so much we were not able to see in London, Cambridge, Oxford and Paris.

About the host

Hosted by Mr and Mrs Blair

Host profile image
We are a family and this used to be our home, altough over the years we have travelled and offered the house as holiday lets. It is primarily a home, and our only holiday let property at the moment.
We sometimes stay in the independent annexe of the house but if we are away we will leave a contact.
Please report any damage, and remember that people live nearby, so no parties or gatherings with people other than those booked! Important to remember is to be quiet on the drive when coming in late at night, not to rev engines early morning or late at night and not to talk loudly on drive (even on phone) or pavement at night or early morning.

Why they chose this property

This is in an ideal London location if you want easy access to the centre, but also want some peace after a long day sightseeing. You will have all the home comforts.
It is not a 'hotel' and please remember you won't find luxury, but what we hope is homely, comfortable and spacious rooms. You have everything you need within walking distance, pubs, restaurants, coffee bars, shops, parks, leisure facilities etc so if you choose to spend a day at home you are definitely not isolated.
This is a typical English town, where people live and work, and many people commute into London daily from here to work in the city.

What makes this property unique

Lots of choice - visit central London, stay local in a typical English town, or in 5 mins drive be in open picturesque countryside. Good public transport. If you are driving we are 15 mins to the M25, so access to Kent, Surrey and the South Coast is easy. You won't find the heavy smoke and congestion of inner London, and our area is very green, yet with lots of shops, pubs and restaurants. Starbucks, Cafe Nero or lots of independent coffee shops.
