A stylish, state-of-the-art home set on a serene mews street in Bloomsbury, this two-bedroom apartment is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a peaceful corner that's close to the action. The interior is decorated in a mid-century-meets-industrial style, with Crittall-style windows and doors, a minimalist kitchen and elegant furniture that's sure to appeal to the style-conscious. It's a theme that continues into the bedrooms, with exposed brick walls, ample built-in storage and an opulent en-suite attached to the master bedroom. One of the joys of Bloomsbury is that pretty much everything is within walking or cycling distance. There are plenty of hidden gems tucked away down backstreets and side alleys, too, including plenty of classic English pubs, cool coffee shops and a collection of lesser-known museums. Elsewhere, the nearby Brunswick Centre has an assortment of shops, an arthouse cinema and a Waitrose for stocking up on essentials. There's also plenty of green space nearby at Russell Square, Gray's Inn Gardens and Coram's Fields. Finally, the bars and restaurants of Clerkenwell and Exmouth Market are within a ten-minute walk, while Covent Garden and Soho are slightly further afield. If you don't fancy walking, or the weather isn't playing ball, Chancery... Lane and Farringdon stations are around ten minutes from your front door.
