Pine Reflections, By Veeve, London

London. Sleeps up to 7

Scandi serenity is the byword here, where understated design meets a dreamily soft palette, swathes of natural light reflecting off gleaming, sleek surfaces, and a lush garden flanked by lofty trees. Located on a quiet residential road near Wimbledon park, this four-bedroom home offers a sought-after green oasis on the fringes of the city. And if you manage to tear yourself away from all this relaxing, you can hop on the Tube at nearby Southfields station, or even try a stint in your own private gym. What better way to justify all those pub lunches?

Channelling the aesthetic of a chic treehouse, this impeccably designed home opens with a roomy kitchen and dining area, where light floods in through impressive glass windows overlooking a verdant garden. Polished marble counters and a large glass dining table reflect the silhouettes of leaves, both outside and in, giving you the sense of floating amidst the treetops - whilst simply eating your breakfast. And if that doesn't chill you out, wander next door to the living room, with its cool blue tones and sun-drenched skylight, and try cosying up on one of the sofas, warming your toes amongst the soft, shaggy rugs. Climb the winding staircase and you'll find four heavenly bedrooms, uniting fresh interiors, soft tones, and pared-back style. The principal bedroom we're particularly keen on. Soothing pale green tones and a comfy seating area are enhanced by glass doors onto a delightful balcony terrace. And frankly, anything that streamlines getting outside on sunny mornings, is fine by us. And speaking of outside, no stay would be complete without kicking back on a comfy decking sofa , chilled glass of vino in hand, or enjoying an alfresco BBQ dinner with a glorious garden view.

We love...
The luxury of being able to work out within such short reach of your sofa. The gym here is bright, airy, and fully-equipped, allowing you to enjoy exercising on those soggier day, when the thought of a run through Wimbledon Park looses some of its appeal. And there's always the Peloton upstairs, if you're feeling really energetic. Got work to do? There's a handy office room in dusky blue, closed off from the living room. Easy.

Home Truths:
This home comes with that Holy Grail of perks: a private driveway with parking space for up to two cars. And just a word to the allergic wise - a dog usually lives here.
