Looking for sophistication, but still prone to wearing ripped jeans? Set on a nice backstreet close to the punk-spirited Camden High Street, this flat offers the perfect compromise. Best suited to couples, it’s characterised by exotic ebony flooring and gently-stylish fittings. Period details like the filled-in iron fireplace lend a sense of romance, as do strolls through nearby Regent’s Park or posh Primrose Hill. There’s also an excellent kitchen, while the luxury bathroom includes both a tub and rainfall shower.

Home truths:
* The communal area at the entrance of the building certainly does not reflect the care this owner has for his apartment.
* It can take up to four but it's perfect for two, or two adults and two children.
* This apartment stands on the first floor and requires a few steps to access it.
