A long queue forms annually outside this family home’s kooky orange door during the Open House London event, with design fans keen to admire its architectural quirks. Now so can you. The mews house has won awards for its adaptable-living concept and multi-purpose shared spaces, merged with bright, bohemian design. There’s ‘stuff’ everywhere, and a palpable sense of homeliness. Look out for the leafy roof garden and retro Aga cooker, then stroll off to the Charles Dickens Museum once you’ve finished exploring. Home truths: *This is a family home so you will be sharing the space with some of the owner's personal belongings *The home is set over several floors with narrow staircases – something to bear in mind if you have limited mobility or are travelling with large luggage *The master bedroom starts at the top of the stairwell leading up from the kitchen/dining room *This home is all about communal living, sharing and adaptable living – if personal and private space is an absolute must for you, we suggest looking elsewhere *The AGA is switched off during the summer months, meaning there is no oven *There is just one main bathroom, with a separate WC *The seventh guest can sleep on the single bed in the living area
