General overview
Spacious 4 bedroom house, two bathrooms upstairs, ( one ensuite to master bedroom) downstairs WC & and office. Definitely useful to have a car for places like Harry Potter but it you don't mind walking a bit it's fine. We have a large lounge and dining table that seats 6. Bright spacious kitchen with breakfast bar and bar stools. House is in a quiet suburban setting, no sounds of traffic only the birds chirping. Also have a downstairs toilet and a separate office. We never wear shoes in the house so we would really appreciate it anyone that stays could do the same 🙏
We are on the ULEZ ( Ultra low emission zone) border but travelling only a mile away falls into a ULEZ zone. If you want travel by car into the ULEZ areas then a charge of £12.50 per day ( correct as of now) applies if your car is NOT ULEZ compliant. If an exchange booked then happy to check if charges apply depending on where you want to travel to via car if your car isn't compliant. Details here about the scheme. https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/ultra-low-emission-zone

Getting around
10-15 min walk from our house to two tube stations (Moor Park and Northwood both in opposite directions) both are on the metropolitan tube line that takes you all the way through the city centre to Aldgate station near East London. You will pass many central stations along the way such as Baker Street and Kings Cross for many London attractions . If you wanted to you can also park at both stations ( have ample parking if you didnt fancy the walk ) , this would cost approximately £5 a day or is free on weekends.
The main high street in Northwood where the tube station is located is called Green lane. It has shops, restaurants & a main supermarket called Waitrose & and a Tesco express. The main restaurants/ places to eat / drink are a very good Argentinian, an excellent Turkish, a kebab House, few pizza places including pizza hut delivery, a Chinese takeaway, few Indian restaurants, a desert cafe, bubble tea house & ice cream parlor. The rest is a bakery, post office, a pound shop betting shops, Northwood tube station, numerous hair dressers and beauty salons and of course a pub!! There are a few bus stops on green Lane that take you to Harrow on the Hill, Eastcote, Ealing & Pinner..harrow on the hill has a wider selection of restaurants, a shopping centre as cinema ..this journey will take approximately 30min by bus or 15 min via car.

Hello 👋! We are a family of 4 myself, my husband and our two little girls ( 2016 & 2019 born). Previous to getting married and having children we lived and worked in Southern Africa, New Zealand & Spain for a few years for work but decided to come to my family home In Hertfordshire ( outskirts of London)on a more permanent basis to give the children more stability. We have left stressful city jobs and now run a travel company together along with a team of people. We have been super adventurous in the past but we are simply after interesting places to discover with them now. We have a modern spacious 4 bedroom house in a little suburb outside london. It's still on a London tube line so within easy access of reaching central London within 30 min. The famous Harry Potter studios are within a 20 min drive. Lots of restaurants , cafes within walking distance as well as pretty country parks driving distance. Baker street station is home to Madame Tussauds, Sherlock Holmes museum and numerous beautiful parks. We have a large back garden and are located on a very safe quiet cul de sac. Lots of cafes , restaurants, amenities within a 10 min walk. beautiful country parks accessible. As both of our kids are in school we are looking for simultaneous exchanges during UK school holidays only. Destinations we keen on are within the UK lake District, peak District, Wales( close to a beach) Devon, Cornwall Norfolk (beach locations), York during Christmas market. Also interested in Spain , Portugal, Greece, Italy , Switzerland, Scandinavia USA and Australia in the near future once we have hopefully got into the swing of house swapping 😁. We don't have any pets currently but we used to have dogs and cats in Africa so.we are happy to do an exchange looking after animals. 🙂
