About this house rental

This is a large house with 5 bedrooms two of which are en-suite. On the ground floor there is a large kitchen with oven, hob and dishwasher and washing machine, a dining room, a lounge, and a downstairs wc. Ground floor - en-suite bedroom with shower and king size bed. (sleeps 2) First floor there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. One large double with a king size bed and folding single bed (sleeps 3) One large double with king size bed, small sofa and a roll out single bed. (sleeps 3) Third room on the first floor is a smallish double room which has a single bed with a pull out trundle underneath. (sleeps 2) On the top floor (loft room) there is an en-suite bedroom with two single beds. This has an en-suite with bath tub. It has a sloping roof and is more suited to someone who isn't so tall. The garden is mostly lawn. Please feel free to ask us if you need something that you can't find. There may be bikes available to use if you want to explore the local area - you just need to ask us! Guests will have private use of the main house and garden. We (the owners) have a independent annexe to one side/front of the house and have our own private entrance to the side. We may be there from time to time. Guests enter via the main front door and are completely independent. West Wickham is a lovely area of London and still relatively unknown to tourists. Guests have described it as 'what they expect' of a traditional English town. It's peaceful, the supermarkets and shops are nice and there are plenty of cafe's, restaurants, pubs and parks. Most people say they 'took a chance' coming to an unknown town but all have liked it and have been pleasantly surprised. A few guests even decided to move to the UK and at least 3 separate guests have ended up living in our area. We are on the doorstep of Kent 'the garden of England' with its many stately homes, castles and pretty towns and villages so if you have a car you will be able to visit lots of interesting places in the countryside. Surrey is also close, and you can get to the south coast seaside towns like Brighton in about an hour. West Wickham train station is 6 mins walk away. There are usually 3-4 trains an hour into central London. Trains go to London Bridge, Waterloo East and Charing Cross in 35 - 45 minutes. We are London zone 5. The last train home is around midnight but if you want to stay in London late into the night you can get a train to East Croydon all night long (15 mins journey) and then the N119 night bus (15 mins). The nearest large town is Bromley which is at most 10 mins by car. We have bus stops near our house. East Croydon is also a short bus ride away and has a very large important station from where you can get a train to Gatwick Airport and the South Coast seaside resorts. There are fast trains (15mins) to all London stations from nearby Bromley South which is 8 mins on the bus. Opposite our house there is a park with large area of grass, football pitches and swings, and there is plenty of woodland and nature nearby. Not far away there are golf courses, swimming pool, gym, library and Gambado children's play centre should you get tired of visiting London. Please report any damage, and remember that people live nearby, so no parties or gatherings with people other than those booked! Important to remember is to be quiet on the drive when coming in late at night, not to rev engines early morning or late at night and not to talk loudly on drive (even on phone) or pavement at night or early morning.

Very Good

Very Good

Really a good location to visit London and whereabouts if you need to use trains / buses. House was really big and had all we needed. Will definitely recommend it especially if you have kids as they find lots to do and park is just opposite the road Will surely stay again when we visit again.

Dated property needs updating

Dated property needs updating

We had a very responsive host but found the property to be a little dated. Locks were missing on bathroom doors and our fundamental problem was with the hot water availability. The water was tepid at best and cold. The boiler is in a room not accessible to guests. The owner was responsive and sent a plumber who confirmed there was a problem. A British Gas engineer was finally sent who managed to sort out the issue but not before we had already stayed there 4 days. The property could also benefit from things like a tumble dryer. We could use the washing machine to wash our clothes and had to spread them around the house to dry them. Small touches make a huge difference. I was not looking for a five star experience but the basic needs that one has at home should have been met.

Great house for large family

Great house for large family

Home was great! Clean, as described, great space for kids indoor and outdoors. Lots of activities for kids in the home. Short walk to the train station and multiple bus lines near the home. Park across the street with playground another positive for travelers with family. The kitchen was well stocked with all needed equipment - not scarce at all.

We had a few family members over from overseas who stayed at this property for a few days during my daughters wedding. Everyone stayed very comfortably and the property was nice and clean. It was also very spacious and well furbished. The landlord was also very helpful throughout.

Safe upscale property close to all conveniences. Comfortable.

Safe upscale property close to all conveniences. Comfortable.

This house took in all seven (7) of us with two bedrooms to spare. Huge family and living room with a well equipped kitchen. Excellent parking. Convenient connections for trains, tube and travel to Gatwick, Heathrow and Paris. Quiet, private and comfortable. I will like to rent it again in the near future as there is so much we were not able to see in London, Cambridge, Oxford and Paris.

Wonderful place in South London

Wonderful place in South London

We really enjoyed our stay at Wendy & John's place in south London. We were there for a family holiday (adults and children). The children loved that there were toys and a trampoline outside. The patio was great to sit and talk after a day of touring. The bedrooms placed over three floors were comfortable, and allowed privacy for everyone. The train station was a short walk away to provide easy access for London touring (30-35 minute train ride). Any questions we had, Wendy and John were both very helpful.

Lovely house - a brilliant find!

Thanks Wendy and John! we really enjoyed our stay and appreciate your hospitality. The house was so homely and clean and had everything we needed with a very well equipped kitchen. My friends and I really felt at home and relaxed. We found the location very convenient and so easy to get the train into London but also enjoyed hanging out locally. We found a gem and will book again.

Great Place, Great Price

Great Place, Great Price

When planning our trip to London and Edinburgh, my husband and I were shocked at how expensive hotels in Central London can be! Thankfully, we found John and Wendy’s place in West Wickham and it was perfect for us. Yes, it’s located outside the city center but it’s a very easy walk to the train station for a 30 minute ride that stops at major stations (Waterloo East, London Bridge, Charing Cross, and Cannon Street) that are connected to the Underground. We found the train ride in the morning to be a good way to wake up and in the evening a good way to “detox” after a busy day in London. It was nice to stay in a quieter town! There’s also a bus stop across the street in case your travels should require a bus. The apartment itself has its own separate entrance and is basic but practical. Included are a basic kitchen and the utensils required to cook if you so desire, two comfortable beds (a full and a twin) and enough room to hang clothes and store your belongings during your stay. John was very quick to help us when the refrigerator didn’t work (turns out it just wasn’t turned on!) and was kind enough to keep our newly-purchased milk in their fridge until ours was cold enough. Grocery stores, shops, and restaurants in West Wickham are also within easy walking distance if you should choose to stay in town.

Unclean and rundown

Unclean and rundown

Very disapointed! If they didn't have a pre-pay/no refund policy we would have turned right around and left. We stuck it out but had to wash the greasy filmed dishes before we could use them. The counter had not been wiped off from the previous guests and the floor hadn't even been swept. Thankfully the sheets and towels were clean or we would have forgone our pre-paid rental. We didn't notice until the day before we left that when you flushed the toilet the water bubbled to the top of the shower drain. The bathroom smelled musty with a bit of sewer odor. I could go on some more but I'm sure readers will get the message in this review. The whole property is unkept and in need of regular maintenance.

Lucky we found it!!!

Lucky we found it!!!

We (3 people+dog) stayed there for two months so had all the time to explore London and give a full positive feedback. Highly recomended as we viewed many apartments in London and unfortunately there are lots that wouldnt worth a pound. It is in one of the most beautiful and safe locations in London. Just 3min to the train station with direct link to central London and also a bus stop outside the house.There's a Park just opposite the house and shops in a short walk. The apartment is very spacious and clean .Much better than in the pictures!There's a double and a big single bed in the bedroom and there's a sofa-double bed in the conservatory. The conservatory with access to its own big garden, has a big dining table and all kitchen facilities you'll need. The best of all were the landlords, who we feel lucky we've met. Very friendly, funny and helpfull and always available when we would need them. Highly recommended!!!

Pleasant stay with loads of toys for kids

Pleasant stay with loads of toys for kids

Our families (3 kids, 8 grown ups) stayed at the place while they visited us in the UK and we spend the evenings with them there. Two of the bed rooms are quite spacious, so ideal for the kids and parents. There were plenty of toys for the kids and also enough space for a large group to use the kitchen and sit at one table. If we needed anything from the owners, they were really quick to respond. They are really friendly as well. Thanks again:) We'll return for the next family event.
