Modern, chic and brilliantly located, this apartment is an interior designer's dream. Whether you're looking for somewhere to house a corporate guest, a student looking for digs or after a romantic getaway to the city, this home offers a comfortable stay with a host of luxury mod-cons. Set down a traditional English mews, it boasts an exclusive postcode near Chancery Lane. Known for its century-old buildings and flocks of working professionals, you'll find a lovely selection of historic pubs right on your doorstep for a quick bite to eat. Those after something a little more formal can walk to illustrious Covent Garden in less than twenty minutes. Ideal for working, dining out and sightseeing, the position of this Bloomsbury flat immediately caught our eye, but it's the stylish interiors that really packs a punch. Return to the stylish cube-shaped living room, filled with industrial-style features – from stone walls to sleek crittal windows – for a quiet movie night in under the dramatic spotlighting. It's a homely pad too, with high-grade oak floorboards, pale wooden furniture, curated houseplants and on-trend prints. Those keeping one eye on work will also find a dedicated desk space in the corner to make into a... converted home office. Knock up a hearty dinner in the contemporary kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances, before enjoying a restful night's sleep in the comfy bedroom benefitting from luxury bedding, black-out blinds and sound insulation – this one really puts luxury and comfort at the forefront, without compromising a smidge of style.
