The inspirational living spaces are dressed in a rich colour palette layered with velvets, British tweed and wool, and feature a panelled sitting room and a fully equipped kitchen/ diner with dishwasher, microwave/oven, fridge freezer, crockery and all the necessary utensils. Bedrooms have plenty of wardrobe space, luxurious linens, and Hypnos mattresses to settle into, and an elegant shower room. Stay As You Choose The Other House has also just launched a ‘Stay As You Choose’ option, making it the ideal pied-à-terre for people who make regular trips to London. The very first offering of its kind, residents can come and go as they choose by purchasing packages of 25 up to 150 nights, for use over a 3 to 12-month period, with all the benefits of an extended stay booking.
