Cornerstone effortlessly blends modern design with original Victorian features and mid-century aesthetics, and feels stylish, cosy and welcoming all at once. Striking the perfect balance between comfortable and cool, a casual sofa and armchair sit alongside a contemporary grey rug and a bright pink velvet ottoman. The bay windows and parquet flooring are also offset by a modern, fully-equipped kitchen and two luxury en-suite bathrooms. We loved the unique moulding on the living room ceiling, and the private terrace – an added bonus for London homes.

Home truths:
* The living area isn't huge - it would most comfortably sit three guests on the sofa and armchair
* While there is a lift, it stops a half a level up from the flat so you don't really avoid many stairs as the flat is on the first floor
* There is a low railing on the terrace so it's not a home for those travelling with young children
