1 room flat of 51m² in London

Available while we travel for a year, this is a rare opportunity to live in our much-loved London home—a stylish, character-filled apartment where scented diffusers and candlelight sit alongside artwork, books and bottles of wine, creating a warm and relaxed setting for city living. Set within a handsome Victorian building on the edge of Telegraph Hill, the apartment blends original period charm with warm, contemporary interiors. Artwork, books, carefully chosen furniture and thoughtful details give the home a distinctive personality that is difficult to find in a typical rental. The heart of the apartment is the bright and spacious open-plan living area, where the kitchen, dining room and lounge flow seamlessly together. The six-seater dining table creates the perfect setting for long dinners with friends, while the comfortable lounge enjoys far-reaching cityscape views of both the City of London and Canary Wharf. Above the main living space, a cosy mezzanine snug offers a second place to retreat and unwind, ideal for film nights, reading or simply relaxing at the end of the day. There are two comfortable bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and the other with a double bed. Both provide clothes storage, while one bedroom also includes a desk, creating a practical and attractive space for working from home. The luxurious bathroom feels like a private retreat, with a freestanding bath for long soaks and a separate walk-in shower for everyday convenience. A washer-dryer is also located within the apartment. Residents have access to a communal garden, while two parks sit at the top of the road, one with public tennis courts. Free unrestricted on-street parking is available. The location offers the best of both worlds: a leafy, neighbourhood feel with exceptional connections into central London. New Cross Gate station is around five minutes’ walk away, with direct trains reaching London Bridge in approximately eight minutes. New Cross, Brockley, Peckham and Telegraph Hill are all within easy reach, offering an excellent choice of independent coffee shops, restaurants, pubs, bars and green spaces. Arranged across several levels, the apartment has a wonderfully individual layout that adds to its character. Steps lead to the building entrance, followed by stairs to the apartment and through the different living levels. There is no lift, so the property is best suited to those comfortable with stairs. This is a home for someone looking for more than simply a place to stay: a beautifully furnished, welcoming London base with space to entertain, work, relax and enjoy everything the area has to offer.
