Flat to rent in 25 Avington House, 4, Holford Way SW15

Fabulous two bedroom, two bathroom, third (top) floor apartment situated within the idyllic Queen Mary's Place development, a friendly cosmopolitan community in Roehampton, a stone's throw from Richmond Park and ideally located for the many attractions of Putney, Barnes, Richmond and Wimbledon.

Entering through a generous hallway, one emerges into a bright, dual aspect, open-plan living room, with separate dining area and handsome, state-of-the-art kitchen. Suffused with natural light from multiple windows, French doors open onto a good-sized balcony, providing views in three directions and adding to the sense of space.

Catching the morning sun, the east facing master bedroom benefits from a generous built-in wardrobe and well appointed en suite bathroom. The second bedroom has French doors leading on to another large balcony. Across the hallway is the well appointed main bathroom.

The property has an allocated parking space, while the bus stop directly opposite Queen Mary's Place offers a frequent service to Hammersmith, Richmond, and Putney, including Barnes and Putney railway stations with their connections into Waterloo, and Putney Bridge for the District Line on the Tube.

As well as having Richmond Park on the doorstep, a short walk takes you to Putney Heath and on to Wimbledon Common - with the allure of a pleasant, relaxing stroll to Wimbledon village. Or for more vigorous exercise there is a well-equipped, residents only gym directly opposite the property.

Queen Mary's Place is popular with young professionals but also family friendly, with children of all ages enjoying the sense of community. The area benefits from a number of excellent schools, both primary and secondary. The closest, Ibstock Place, a well regarded, high-achieving independent school is just around the corner. The Roehampton University campus, situated on the other side of Roehampton Lane, also lends an appealing, lively buzz to the area.

Even without the numerous plus points, the unique appeal of the development quickly becomes apparent. Firstly, the roads are a calm place with virtually no traffic - quite a rare feature in modern-day London. Added to that, along with numerous eye-pleasing architectural features, there are two formal gardens: A beautifully maintained rose garden and a sunken garden with fountain, overlooked by the magnificent 18th century, Grade I listed Roehampton House.

As a showpiece project of developer St. James, part of the Berkeley Group, the properties at qmp were finished to a high standard, creating a sense of quality living that embraces you when you enter. This feel good factor extends to the immediate environs, indeed the whole of Queen Mary's Place, which provide a kind of decompression zone from the world outside. All in all, this might just be southwest London's best kept secret....
