Hello and welcome !
This lovely flat was originally designed for one or two people.
Four people can fit if they are willing to squeeze around each other.
Six people can fit too if they accept to really squeeze tightly around each other.
Whilst designed and built in a contemporary and functional style, the exposed brickwork of an original wall confers a warm and homely feeling to this unique place.
Apart from the secluded, well looked after shared patio garden, this flat is totally self contained, and is accessed by its own independent entrance.
Generous insulation and modern central heating make this space warm in winter and cool in summer.
The sleeping area is on a mezzanine floor. The remaining area has a wonderfully high ceiling reaching over 5 metres at its highest point and is well lit by large skylights.
The shower room is fully tiled, spacious and bright.
The sleek galley-style kitchen has a 4m long worktop, double sink, double oven, microwave oven, gas hob, fridge, freezer and plenty of cupboard space available. It is well equipped with cutlery, crockery and quality utensils.
The flat has a washing machine, iron, ironing board and hairdryer.
Bath towels and tea towels are provided together with quality linen.
There are two single beds in the sleeping area which can either be used separately or put together to form a 1,4 x 2 m double bed. The double bed takes up the full width of the mezzanine, so access will be from one end of the bed.
Any guest after the second will sleep on mattresses made up as beds and laid on the floor either next to each other on the mezzanine or on the ground floor at your choice. If you are in six, effectively, four people will sleep in two double beds.
Although located in a working class neighbourhood amidst private and gracefully refurbished local authority houses, this smart mezzanine flat lies within the elegant Marylebone area.
The area is very close to the centre of London and well served with bus routes to the main attractions. The closest bus stop only 200 metres away. Marylebone underground and railway station can be reached with a 5 min walk. Baker Street and Edgware Road underground stations are 10 min walk away. All these stations are in pricing zone 1.
Should you be too tired to cook, you will never be short of options for places to eat in the West End or in the nearby St John's Wood High Street.
The flat is also very close to the Grand Union Canal, where it is nice to stroll, jog or cycle all the way to Little Venice and Paddington one way or Camden and beyond the other way. You can relax in the lovely open spaces of wonderful Regents Park again only 5 min away and enjoy the views of the boating lake, the rose garden, London Zoo, all surrounded by magnificent John Nash designed terraces.
Also 5 to 10 mins away are Church Street market with the famous Alfie's antique store, Madame Tussaud's waxwork museum and Lord's cricket ground where the Olympic archery events will be held next summer.
