The Southfields Spectacle, by Veeve

This four-bedroom home might just be south-west London’s best-kept secret. Right in the heart of Southfields, a two-minute walk from its eponymous tube station and five minutes away from Wimbledon Park, if you’re after a perfect location, in one of the capital’s most beloved neighbourhoods, then look no further. If that’s not enough, then consider the home itself: whether it’s the big, beautiful kitchen that opens onto a spacious garden full of sunlight, or the rooftop terrace with views to central London, this home is nothing short of phenomenal.

From the grand entryway, turn left to find yourself in the vibrantly stylish living room. Upon entering, feel the warmth on your face from the direct sunlight streaming through the big bay windows. A cosy blue sofa sits in the nook, accompanied by a vivid yellow armchair and a matching lamp – perfect for some nighttime reading. Move further down the room and behold the midnight blue velvet sofa, a divinely cosy retreat that offers supreme comfort while you watch a movie on the flatscreen TV.

Hop down a few steps to reach the kitchen, and feel the awe strike you at once. Big and bright, modern and light, this space benefits greatly from its many sources of natural light, including four expansive skylights and the huge bi-fold doors that open to the garden. All the necessary amenities can be found in this kitchen, as well as plenty of storage and even some casual stool seating at the end of the island, perfect for a quick breakfast in the morning.

The large, light timber dining table is a conduit for the sun, sitting under two skylights and next to the bifold doors. With room for six diners (with the option to extend it to bring this number up to ten), this is the perfect spot for evening entertainment or a family dinner.

Families will also love the spacious garden: complete with a patio with two outdoor sofas and a turfed lawn with flowerbeds and a football net, this sunny enclave is the perfect place to enjoy a sunny day.

Climb the stairs and reach the first floor, where your first stop will be a gorgeously tiled bathroom that features a walk-in shower, toilet and wash basin. The bedroom next door offers a double bed tucked into the corner, along with shelves full of trinkets and a view out to the garden.

The next bedroom is the principal suite, punctuated by an enchanting king-sized bed with a light pink headboard and ottoman. The bay window brings in plenty of light, illuminating the antique chest of drawers and twin bedside tables. Another double room can be found next door, painted all in a light sage colour and featuring endearing décor that will delight any animal lover. Another bathroom can be found nearby, where a floral wallpaper brings vitality and character to the space. In here you’ll find a bath with an overhead shower, a toilet and a wash basin.

The final bedroom is at the top of the home: spacious and sunny, its king-sized bed sits under a slanted ceiling centred by a large skylight. Its en-suite bathroom is chic, featuring a walk-in shower, toilet and wash basin.

The final feature of this home also lies on its top floor: walk through an intimate study and reach the rooftop terrace, where you can sit and enjoy a wine in the evening sun or admire the third-floor view of the skyscrapers of central London.

Home Truths:
No smoking, pets or parties. A friendly dog usually lives here. Though the dog will not be present during your stay, and the home is cleaned to an extremely high standard, the property may not be suitable for those with allergies. A room on the second floor will be locked during your stay. Please note, the garden overlooks a relatively quiet train line. Although we always endeavour for accuracy, there may be rare occasions where the listing photography and description do not provide an exact representation of the home’s amenities.
