The Artist's House, By Veeve, London

London. Sleeps up to 7

Distinctive style? Check. Masterly design? Check. Ineffable coolness acquired through osmosis? Check, check. If you can't tell yet, we're avid fans of this vibrant, three-bedroom home in Tufnell Park. You'll find the Northern Line just around the corner and famed Hampstead Heath nearby, surrounded by a host of splendid pubs and cafes.

The kitchen is a triumph of modernist design; repurposed, industrial-style units furnishing a generous amount of workspace, and a large dining table — perfect for cooking at home. Sweeping wood floors and pared-down interiors are lifted by warm accents and pops of pastel, along with a hearty helping of natural light through bifold doors leading onto a leafy patio garden. Modern freshness is interwoven with old-school chic in the living room, where an understated palette supplies a cool canvas for that striking period fireplace. The bedrooms are all uniquely styled, seamlessly blending vintage features with contemporary details. This attention to detail even extends to the bathrooms, from arresting charcoal tiles, to cheering tangerine tones. It's all been thought through here, down to the last neon side lamp.

We love...
The mid-century inspired open staircase that floats up from the kitchen fits perfectly with those industrial-styled interiors. It's also impossible not to love that quintessential townhouse exterior, with its warm accents and rose gold front door — creating a home that's comfortingly classic on the outside and expertly unique within.

Home Truths:
No smoking, pets, or parties! There are three floors and steps up to the front entrance. The home is alarmed. You'll find a separate laundry room available. The sofa in the living room can be opened out into a sofa bed suitable for one adult or two young children to share. There's no handrail on the staircase, so may not be suitable for younger children just finding their feet. Parking is free on weekends with plenty of pay and display options nearby. Although we always endeavour for accuracy, there may be rare occasions where the listing photography and description do not provide an exact representation of the home’s amenities.

Located in London, this vacation home is in the city center. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Finsbury Park and Hyde Park, while The British Museum and O2 Arena are cultural highlights. London Eye and Natural History Museum are not to be missed.
