Reading by the Window London

Property Description

A simply stunning apartment in a grand Georgian building, this home has an enviable location on one of Bloomsbury's pretty squares. Overlooking park-like gardens and filled with natural light thanks to its vast period windows, it's a real charmer. Eclectic, maximal and with a warm, lived-in feel, it's a stylish and comfortable home from home.

As soon as you walk in, you'll be bowled over by the character features here, with high ceilings, black wood floors, fireplaces and unusually tall windows – even for the Georgian period. The way the light fills the space, especially in the late afternoon, is pretty magical and thanks to its peaceful location, this place really feels like an oasis of calm. Flick through the huge collection of books, play a few tunes on the piano or cook in the new high-spec kitchen. There's a more industrial look in this room, which continues into the bedroom, with its black four-poster bed.

And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, there's a private balcony just a few steps down from the living room – perfect for a glass of wine in the evening or a coffee in the morning. But despite its quiet setting, this home is just a few minutes from Kings Cross, with cafes, shops and restaurants nearby, and most of London's landmarks are within striking distance.

Home truths:
*The square's communal garden is sadly not to be used by guests, but there is an equally beautiful garden on Brunswick Square
*You'll need to keep the noise down here
*There's laptop-friendly workspace
*You'll have a shared entrance into the building
*There may be some paid street parking available nearby but it can't be guaranteed – as this home is a six-minute walk from Russell Square tube and around ten minutes from Kings Cross/St Pancras, you really won't need a car
*Two guests will be sleeping on the comfortable sofa bed in the living room
