Denison Road, London, SW19

They say good things come in threes, well our 1 bedroom ground floor flat in Colliers Wood has just that. Character? Plenty! Garden? Private! Location? Perfect! Starting with the living room, there’s a lovely mix of old and new. Wooden floors, high ceilings and exposed brickwork give the room plenty of character, while the large windows keep things bright and airy. Then there’s the fireplace that steals the show, who doesn't love cosying up by the fire on those chilly winter evenings? Next up is the bedroom, and storage certainly won't be an issue. There’s room for a double bed with large fitted wardrobes on either side, giving plenty of space for any fashionistas amongst us. The wooden flooring continues through here too, keeping that warm, characterful feel running through the flat. The kitchen is another pleasant spot. Rather than squeezing everything into a tiny corner, you’ve got a separate kitchen with plenty of worktop and cupboard space, integrated appliances and, importantly, room to sit down and eat. Whether you’re cooking properly or simply dishing out of those plastic takeaway tubs, it’s a genuinely useful space. Carry on through and you’ll find the bathroom, which is a really good size for a one-bedroom flat. There’s a full-sized bath with shower over it, plenty of room around the suite and a large heated towel rail. But we’ve saved one of the best bits until last, and it's something that can be rare in one-bed's... your own private garden! It consists of an easily maintained large paved area for a table and chairs, decking, established planting, a shed for storage and yes, those are palm trees! Morning coffee outside? Absolutely. Summer barbecue with friends? Plenty of space for the sausage sizzle. And while the garden gives you space to escape, the location means you’re still well connected to the greenest part of London, both Wandle Park and Wandle Meadow are short walks away. There are also lovely paths down the River Wandle that take you all the way to the Thames at Wandsworth. Now, if you're a commuter, this spot is the perfect place to catch the Northern Line. You're just an 8 minute walk from Colliers Wood Tube Station. With national rail, you're looking at a 17 minute walk to Haydons Road Station which has services into London Bridge every half an hour.
