House in Orpington - Greater London, Great Britain

Dear Intervac friends, our house will be available for exchange for two - three weeks in summer 2025.
 
Our house is located in Orpington, a suburb in South London benefiting from great transport links into central London - less than 30 minutes to Trafalgar Square. We have a good range of shops, restaurants and supermarkets in easy walking distance, and are also close to the M25 motorway with access to tourist sites in Kent and South-East England. The house itself is large Edwardian house which is comfortable and welcoming. We have internet access and have cable television in the living room and kitchen.

There are three comfortable double bedrooms which can accommodate up to 6 people, and a comfy sofa bed. There are 2 bathrooms - one on the ground floor and one on the first floor.  We also have a lovely large, peaceful garden that's a really nice place to relax. There is an outside dining table for 6, 2 sun loungers and a BBQ. You are welcome to pick fruit and vegetables from the garden during your stay.

We have a friendly cat, Lucy, and would like our house exchange guests to feed her while we are away.

We have done 6 exchanges previously (2 with a different company) and all have been very successful and enjoyable. We look after other people's homes as we expect them to look after ours. We are happy to feed your pets - and have fed cats in the past.

Miguel and his wife are very quick and responsive at communication and answering questions, which is always a good sign. One of their family members was on hand when we arrived at their flat and explained keys, refuse recycling etc. We were able to contact him when we had questions and he was a fount of local knowledge and was very kind. Their very comfortable, clean and beautifully decorated flat is in the perfect location for the beach and for walking to the historical centre of A Coruna, and had everything we wanted for our stay. We had a wonderful holiday, and Miguel even sent us pictures of our cat during the exchange, reassuring us how well she was being looked after! Our house was immaculate when arrived home, and Miguel and his family have been lovely throughout the exchange. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Miguel and his family as exchange partners, and we would love to return their flat in A Coruna one day.

We are a family of four - Mikhail and Elizabeth and 2 sons, Nik and Henry. We have a cat, Lucy, who is friendly when she wants to be fed but a bit independent otherwise. Elizabeth works for a health charity and Mikhail is retired. Nik and Henry are in their twenties and working.

The garden is large and a special place to spend time. The house was completely redecorated with new bathrooms and kitchen a few years ago.
