Nick and I are both actors with other portfolio interests- we let some property here in London and also have a stunning house in the Lake District which we rent out for holidays and may occasionally also swap out of season https://www.facebook.com/The-Place-Loweswater-723669907743998/ . See our other listing here. Possibly could combine a swap in London and some time in Cumbria too. Nick is also a joiner and makes lovely bespoke pieces. We are proud of Honor Oak, South East London, where we have lived for 15 years - its fresher air, lovely neighbours, green spaces, artistic sensibility. We think it would make a superb base from which to get to grips with London, offering a haven from it while providing easy access to everything our sensational city has to offer. Our son is still at school locally but we are keen to spread our wings a little. At this stage we would travel with him and a friend and possibly my elderly mother, during school holidays. We are particularly interested in the Rhone-Alpes, Drome, Sicily or Italy for summer 2017 or North America, particularly NYC or upstate NY or Boston. Also a European Ski swap in December 2017 or February half term 2018, but in the future will look to travel further afield. We love to hike in the mountains, and experience the thrill of a new city.
