Period Townhouse - Garden Gym & Playroom | House in London
5 Bedroom House in Vauxhall, London
Summary:
CURATED PROPERTY PRESENTS: A five-floor townhouse in South Lambeth, SW8, beautifully finished throughout. With four bedrooms, a large private garden, a separate snug, and a garden gym, this home blends period character with modern comfort. There's a space for every member of the family — including a children's bunk room with its own built-in playhouse. A rare find in South London.
The Space:
This is a five-floor, semi-detached townhouse, finished throughout by an interior designer and full of exceptional period detail. It sleeps up to ten guests across five bedrooms.
The master bedroom occupies an entire floor and is a genuinely impressive space, with a super-king bed and a luxurious ensuite featuring both a freestanding bath and a walk-in shower. Three further king bedrooms are beautifully decorated, each papered floor to ceiling in bold floral wallpaper and full of character — one furnished with a brass bed. The fifth bedroom is a children's room like no other: a bunk room with its own built-in playhouse, complete with an arched play kitchen, toy shelves, and a little service window. Children adore it. A baby cot is also available on request.
The ground-floor living room is generous and light, with high ceilings, original cornicing, sash windows, and an open fireplace. On the lower ground floor, a separate snug offers a more intimate place to relax, with a glass partition that lends a touch of modernity within the period shell. The kitchen and dining area feature marble worktops and splashback, a Belfast sink with brass taps, and a large dining table that comfortably seats eight (with a bench seat on one side).
The rear garden is private, mature, and — by London standards — large. At the foot of the garden sits a cedar-clad studio housing a fully equipped home gym: a gym rack, Watt bikes, rowing machine, weights, ballet barre, pull-up rig, and mirrored walls. Everything you would expect from a home gym, set in a beautifully finished space at the end of the garden.
In addition to the master ensuite, there are two further bathrooms, each beautifully finished with zellige tiles and distinctive fittings, plus a cloakroom WC on the lower floors.
Guest Access:
Guests have full use of the entire house and garden, including the gym studio. We meet you on arrival to hand over the keys and show you around, and we remain on hand throughout your stay.
The Neighborhood:
The house sits in SW8, in the heart of South Lambeth — a quietly residential pocket that many Londoners know far less well than they should. You are a short walk from Vauxhall, Stockwell, and Nine Elms, with excellent local restaurants and cafés, and the open green space of Bonnington Square Garden nearby. The South Bank, Battersea Power Station, and Clapham are all within easy reach.
Getting Around:
Stockwell Underground (Victoria and Northern lines) is the nearest station, roughly ten minutes on foot. Nine Elms (Northern line) is also close by, making Battersea Power Station especially easy to reach. Vauxhall is walkable too, offering National Rail connections alongside the Victoria line. Buses run frequently along Clapham Road, and the area is very cycle-friendly, with docking stations close by.
Other Things to Note:
The house comes with two young, easy-going cats. The owners would be grateful if guests were happy to look after them during their stay — it's very simple, and we'll leave clear instructions. If you'd prefer not to, just let us know in advance and we'll make other arrangements. No pressure at all.
No parties or events. No smoking inside the house. Please treat the garden and gym with care.
Please take off shoes inside.
We partner with TRUVI to carry out secure guest ID verification, helping to ensure a safe and trusted stay for everyone. Once you have completed verification with TRUVI, your stay will be protected by the Guest Guarantee, and you will benefit from accidental damage cover.
