Why you’ll like it:

With a Seven Dials, station-side location and a vast amount of scope to add considerable value – this studio flat is a real gem in the city. It resides peacefully to the rear of the second floor of a grand Victorian townhouse, so it is well-proportioned with tall double-glazed windows looking out over the historic landscape.
Stepping inside, there is plenty of built-in storage within the entrance hall and within the main studio room itself which is unique for a conversion property and ensures the flat remains clutter free. The main room is neutrally decorated, creating a blank canvas for the new owner, and there is ample space for a sofa, a bed and a small desk or dining area.

Next door, the kitchen is bijou but has been well-designed for the space to allow for plenty of storage and space for a freestanding under-counter fridge and a cooker. While it has a small window, the glazed door allows for borrowed light from the living room – and these rooms could be opened to create an open plan space if need be.

The bathroom is nicely separate with a shower over the bath, and much like the kitchen, it is dated, so it would benefit greatly from some renovation and modernisation as the space available is great.

Agent’s thoughts:
There may be potential to add value.

Owner’s thoughts:
“The location is simply fantastic. You can pop out to Seven Dials for a coffee and a paper at the weekend, or pop to the beach in the summer. You really feel like you’re living in the heart of the city.”
