2 bed flat for sale

50 Bolsover Street, London, London, London W1W5Ng W1W

Most new apartments in London are styled to look like a hotel suite. That works right up until you remember what you do in a hotel. You leave.

Apartment 203 was put together by somebody who was not planning to.

The interior design is the entire point of this one. Not staged for the camera and stripped out on completion - designed to be lived in, and warm in a way that new-build interiors almost never are. You notice it about four photographs in, when you realise there is somewhere to put a drink down in every room.

You are buying somebody else's taste, and we would rather say that than pretend it is a blank canvas. If you like it, there is nothing left to do and nothing left to spend. If you do not, you are changing cushions, not kitchens.

Two bedrooms and two bathrooms, which is the difference between having people to stay and having people move in. The reception runs open-plan to the dining area and kitchen, and the balcony looks down a tree-lined Fitzrovia street rather than into somebody else's window. Comfort cooling throughout.

Fitzrovia Apartments, 50 Bolsover Street, W1W - 24-hour concierge. EPC rating B.

Regent's Park, Charlotte Street, Great Portland Street and Oxford Circus are all a short walk, though the more relevant point is that you will want to be in rather than out.

Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and no checkout time.
