Seller Insight “It was the fact that Chatsworth Road felt more like a street than a road, being quiet and more neighbourly, that attracted us to this house. We loved the high ceilings and all the period features, and because it’s so near to the park and playground it’s perfect for our children too. When we’re at home we love to spend time relaxing as a family in the second reception room listening to our daughter playing piano while our son plays. Location-wise it’s perfect, as we both commute to London so we only have a short walk to the station and having all the shops and cafes of Seven Dials so near is fantastic. We’ll really miss the proportions of this house with its high ceilings and the convenience of everything. We can walk everywhere with the children from here and it’s such a nice family street to live on.”* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
