1 room flat of 293m² in London

Set behind a whitewashed archway and traditional brick façade on a quiet St John’s Wood street, this ground-floor studio apartment unfolds with an unexpected sense of scale. Enter into a sprawling reception room – defined by its double-height vaulted ceilings. Warm wood floors run underfoot, while large, warehouse-style windows draw in a steady wash of natural light. Whitewashed beams and panelled walls set a calming feel, with pops of colour introduced through bold artwork, verdant greenery and a denim-toned L-shaped sofa that centres the television area. Behind, there’s an uplifting office setting backdropped by a tall bookcase and additional glazing. Gazing across the space, a mezzanine level traces the upper edge of the room, reinforcing the capacious atmosphere and offering versatile space for storage, study and sleep. The kitchen is set neatly beneath, composed of muted grey cabinetry, smooth worktops and integrated Siemens appliances – complemented by the timber dining table that sits alongside. The principal bedroom feels like an extension of the main space – accessed through a wide timber-framed archway at the end of the living room. Vaulted ceilings afford a capacious feel, while a wall of glazing draws garden greenery into view. A separate dressing room and adjoining laundry space are set discreetly through an archway behind. The minimalist sleeping area faces the bathroom directly: Complete with oversized tiling and glass-enclosed rainfall shower. Outside, the private garden is a verdant, textural suntrap to make the most of London’s warmer months. Raised beds bring structure, while a timber pergola sits at the far end, threaded with soft climbing greenery. Location Tucked off Abbey Road, there’s a peaceful quality to Hill Road that belies its enviable central London postcode. Nearby 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. It’s not far to reach Primrose Hill for panoramic views of the London skyline, as well as one of London’s oldest sporting venues, Lord’s Cricket Ground. The Elgin pub is a local favourite, just minutes from your front door. St John’s Wood - 8 mins
