Description
Instead of renting a flat, with people above and below you, why not rent a private historical townhouse? Character-filled, 2-bedroom Victorian cottage with private walled garden, A/C, bbq, separate washer & dryer -- all rare for London! Built in 1850 and located in a conservation area, yet with Famous Camden Market at the end of the street, it has great transport links to anywhere you want to get in town. There are kingsize and double beds and also a comfy double sofa bed, so can accommodate 6 people. It's a 1850s Victorian end terrace cottage with great windows and lots of historical character, on a quiet street, down the road from Camden Stables Market (The main market). It's not an apartment in a block of flats but a private townhouse home. The front bedroom has a U.K. king sized bed. The back bedroom has a comfy queen bed. Downstairs, the house has a semi-open plan kitchen and living room, complete with comfy double sofa bed. It's fully furnished and has a stocked kitchen and amenities, as you would expect in a real home. Guests are welcome to make themselves at home, cooking your own meals, watching tv/streaming or using the garden. I operate a 'my home is your home' policy (within reason). The fully equipped kitchen is well stocked with necessary pans, plates, condiments etc, so no need to buy coffee/tea, olive oil, salt/pepper or herbs (in fact you are welcome to cut your own fresh herbs from the garden if you'd like!) 300+ thread count sheets, plush towels and bath sheets -- not skimpy, thin towels! -- as well as shampoo/conditioner are all provided for your use. I aim for you to have a luxurious 'home away from home' stay! I have been rated a Superhost by Airbnb for years and have hosted many successful longer-term guests, so you can feel confident you'll have a good stay in a nice house. This is my primary residence which I live in when it's not rented. It is not a soulless rental property like many in London. I used to rent the house out with my cats staying behind, but the house has been cat-free since 2020. I can provide a travel cot and toys/games for kids and families. 2 minutes walk away is Kentish Town Sports Centre which has a large gym and 25m pool in a former Victorian Bath house. Day Guest passes can be purchased from gym reception or if you're staying longer, monthly passes are availble. There is a park across the street with outdoor playground and indoor soft ball play area, both of which toddlers and kids enjoy. See photos for more details. House is well served by lots of different transport links. Overground train Kentish town west is almost across the street, while buses into central london also 2 mins away. Tubes are easy 5-10 minute walk, depending on what you're going. Trains to Wimbledon, Wembley Stadium, Tottenham Stadium, Twickenham, Hackney, Stratford, West End Theatres and all airports are within easy walk. Eurostar is especially easy to get to. I'm looking for stays of 90 days or more from sept 2026 onwards. If interested please get in touch and we can negotiate something. I have had 5 successful sabbatical / semester abroad rentals (though not through this site explicitly) with professors from Stanford, Hamilton, Colgate, Bowdoin and NYU. The house is well located for a bunch of different schools in London.

Comments: Great transport links so easy to get anywhere. There's lots going on nearby but on a quiet street in historical conservation area. Get more space and own private garden while still having central london schools an an easy commute.
