A home in what surely must be one of the most picturesque settings in London has gone on the market.

Lions Gate Lodge is located within the grounds of Kew Gardens.

The “stunning and very rarely available” four-bedroom property is being let for £4,200 per month.

The lodge was originally built as staff accommodation during the late 19th century.

Available through Carter Jonas, its description says: “The delightful accommodation comprises spacious entrance hall with cloakroom and utility room off. Newly fitted kitchen with appliances, reception room with double doors opening out to the garden, dining room and reception three/bedroom floor again with double doors opening out to garden.

“On the first floor are three double bedrooms and a bathroom with shower over bath. The property has been newly refurbished throughout and benefits from wood flooring, feature fireplaces, off road parking and private gardens. Available unfurnished.”
