Pears and Graces, by Veeve

Is it an ultra-cool modern art gallery? Is it a magnificent stately monument? Nope, it's an unapologetically fabulous eight-bedroom home. Situated in splendour on the banks of the river, with the historic Thames Path threading passed its front gate, this Georgian listed building has all the old-time trappings of a superb London townhouse. But step inside and you'll be as surprised as you are blown away — with an astounding display of gallery-worthy art and impeccably chic design that blends masterfully with period interiors to create something timelessly classic, yet excitingly avant-garde. And with neighbours like famed artist William Morris's Victorian pile and Michelin-starred restaurant The River Cafe, you'll be in stellar company. Throw in a picturesque pint at one of the charming, waterside pubs, and a short stroll to Hammersmith for a zippy Tube ride into the city or Heathrow Airport, and we reckon it'll be impossible to enjoy staying anywhere else afterwards. You're welcome.

Set over five floors and dripping in plush furnishings, sought-after swirled marble, and state-of-the-art amenities, every room vies for attention. Each element of its immaculate interior has been expertly designed, from striking light installations, to a richly accented palette. Impressive architectural features and delightfully arresting artwork keep you on your toes. Even the hallways are enhanced to perfection, and with their elegant coved ceilings and sweeping spiral stairs, you'd be forgiven for indulging in a Fred Astaire moment (A-stairs, anyone?).

Light is accentuated throughout by sash windows and high ceilings, although the living and dining rooms go one further, showcasing swathes of glass and majestic chandeliers. The kitchen and bathrooms are drenched in sleek marbled porcelain, and the former is impressively equipped with three dishwashers, three freezers, two fridges, two ovens, and two microwaves. It also includes a warming drawer and wine fridge, making it a dream for any culinary enthusiast.

Seven deluxe bedrooms combine sumptuous textures with five-star comfort. Two bedrooms feature trundle beds, perfect for children, while the guest living room includes a double sofa bed to accommodate extra guests. Almost every room in the home is equipped with air conditioning. For family fun, the spacious playroom offers a cinematic TV and table football, while a luxury TV room sets the stage for cosy movie nights in. There's also a handy guest apartment on the lower-ground floor and even the utility room doesn’t disappoint, boasting three washing machines and three tumble dryers for ultimate convenience. And just when you thought it couldn’t get better, the house offers nine stunning gas fireplaces, adding to the charm and warmth throughout.

Step outside to discover a beautifully manicured garden and terrace, perfect for alfresco dining. A gated driveway offers welcome privacy from the Thames Path and includes two parking spaces available on request. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this one-of-a-kind home as it was designed — in impeccable style.

We love...
The short answer is — everything! But if we had to narrow it down, it would be the eye-popping fruit sculptures, with their liquid lines and vivid colours, proving elevated design can come with a sense of humour. Bedroom-wise, we love the principal bedroom for its vast dressing room, and the twin room with its matching four-posters, emerald accents, and that exquisite lacquer cabinet. Then there's all the inspired extra flourishes, like the fluorescent, Bowie-esque canvas in the entrance, the Baby Grand piano in the living room, and the gas fire pit in the garden. We could do this all day...
