Garden Townhouse

A three-storey Victorian townhouse a two-minute walk from the water, restored slowly and furnished for real life. Downstairs, a long kitchen table that seats eight and doors onto a walled garden; upstairs, three quiet bedrooms with hotel linen and blackout blinds. There's a proper desk with a second screen on the first floor, and a bath deep enough to end a long day in.

It's the home we recommend for families and long stays: the garden earns its keep in summer, and the neighbourhood stays calm after dark.
