1 room flat of 81m² in London

A double fronted villa makes a handsome first impression on Hamilton Terrace, one of Maida Vale’s most esteemed addresses. Set on the second floor of this heritage building is a newly-refurbished one-bedroom apartment, where a smart period framework lets modern details come to the fore. There’s a welcoming feel to the entrance hallway, crafted with tall ceilings and herringbone wood floors. A classic curved archway leads into the bright reception room, which is filled with sunlight through a sash window. Pale walls are met with decorative ceiling cornicing, while the floor space is split between an inviting L-shaped sofa and glass-topped dining table. Next door, the kitchen is a sleek affair with marble floors and worktops, muted mirrored splashbacks and hi-tech appliances. The home’s refined aesthetic continues in the spacious double bedroom. Its neutral colour palette is softly lit through a large sash window, while two full-height wardrobes provide neat storage. The bathroom is wrapped in oversized marble tiling, complete with a walk-in rainfall shower. Location St John’s Wood is one of the capital’s most picturesque neighbourhoods, characterised by its ornate heritage architecture and independent shops, with easy access to peaceful walks along the Grand Union Canal. It’s a ten-minute walk to the High Street for coffees, groceries and boutiques. Little Venice is replete with colourful barge boats, interspersed with cafés and bars for welcome pit stops; in the springtime, enjoy the blooming flowers at Rembrandt Park followed by a show at the Canal Café Theatre or Puppet Theatre barge. Further up the canal, you can reach one of London’s oldest sporting venues, Lord’s Cricket Ground. The Elgin pub is a local favourite, just moments from your front door.
