Maison

We live in a comfortable semi-detached bungalow in Staines near to the Thames River. My wife and l are both non-smokers and like to keep our home clean and tidy.

Our house has 3 bedrooms comprising two double bedrooms and a single bedroom. We have just one bathroom with a shower over bath arrangement. We have added a large conservatory to the back of the house. This extends the time the garden can be used in Autumn, Winter and Spring.

We have a 60’ back garden (large by UK standards) and our house has an open (gas) fireplace, cable TV, ADSL broadband wireless internet access and all of the typical modern conveniences (but no dishwasher).

Within the area boarderd by the M25 Motorway (Greater London area) most houses only have on-street parking which means it is often difficult to find a parking space. Our house has off-street parking which is convenient for guaranteed parking of up to 2 vehicles as well as lay-by parking in front of our house. This makes it very easy for friends to be certain they can find a parking space when visiting.

We have one car (a 1990 4 door 5 speed manual Ford Fiesta Flight) that we can include in the home exchange.

We also have 2 bicycles (mountain bikes) which we use to ride around Staines, often to go shopping in the Staines town centre which is a 15 minute walk away or to the railway station which is 20 minute walk away. These bicycles can also be included in the home swap.

We live on the outskirts of Staines and we are ideally located near supermarkets & petrol stations.

For any tourist the most important thing about where we live is the easy the access to the M25 motorway which is only 2 miles (3 kms) from our house.

The M25 motorway both orbits the whole of London and it is the easiest link to the M1, M3, M4 and M40 motorways as well as A30, A40 & A41 highways. This makes our house ideally located for access to the south east and south west of England as well as the Midlands and north of England.

We live on the outskirts of Staines and we are ideally located near supermarkets & petrol stations.

For any tourist the most important thing about where we live is the easy the access to the M25 motorway which is only 2 miles (3 kms) from our house.

The M25 motorway both orbits the whole of London and it is the easiest link to the M1, M3, M4 and M40 motorways as well as A30, A40 & A41 highways. This makes our house ideally located for access to the south east and south west of England as well as the Midlands and north of England. For example Oxford and the Cotswolds are less than a 1 hour drive away, Stratford-upon-Avon just 1.5 hours drive away and Cardiff (Wales) is just 2.5 hours away.

Because of where Staines is located it is an ideal place for anyone to use as a base to visit on a day trip many places in the South and Midlands of England as well as central London which is just a 45 minute train ride away.

We are a 1 mile walk to the Staines Railway Station which has 6 trains an hour during off peak, (one every 5-10 minutes during peak times) providing excellent easy access to central London Waterloo Station by train which is what l use to travel on into London every day for work.

The 441 Route bus is just 500 yards (485 metres) from our house and that bus will take you directly to London Heathrow Airport (all Terminals) where it is possible to catch the London Underground (Tube) to London King Cross-St Pancras Station which is also the current London terminus for Eurostar (www.eurostar.com), the high speed TGV trains to Belgium and France, including a train directly to central Paris, Brussels, Lille and Bruges including cheap offers such 3 star accomodation weekend trips to Paris from £89pp and Disneyland in Paris from £95pp. Kings Cross-St Pancras is also the station for direct trains to Luton and Gatwick which are the 2nd and 3rd largest of London's 5 airports so this opens up the whole of Europe for budget flights and holidays.

À propos de nous

We are Philip & Amanda, a married couple in our late 40's. We love to travel and plan to retire at 50 and start travelling the world. Whilst we have travelled extensively there is still much more to see and we still enjoy travelling the world.

We both enjoy going to the gym, music and reading. We also enjoy camping, boating and a whole host of other things. We just love life and exchanging is a great way to make new friends.

We live in the Borough of Runnymede where the signing of the Magna Carta took place in 1215.

There are numerous old fashioned pubs in the Staines village which abounds in buildings built in the 1700 and 1800's as well as well as being near other historic towns such as Egham and Chertsey villages.

We are also situated close to the River Thames (130 yards / 125 metres away). If you like to either walk or ride a bicycle then the Thames Path is ideal for it will enable you to walk from Windsor to London (www.thames-path.org.uk/thames_staines_windsor.html).

Being located near the Thames River there are numerous boat trips available (www.nationaltrail.co.uk/ThamesPath/downloads.asp?PageId=26).

There are numerous sources of details on Staines such as:

as well as many sites with photographs of the Staines area such as:
