1 Bed Flat, Brownlow Mews, WC1N

Available immediately: lovely one-bed flat on the top floor of a quiet, cobbled mews street. The flat has a large bedroom, with a super king bed and blackout blinds; a living room with lovely views; a fully-equipped kitchen & bathroom; and lots of storage space. A fibre optic cable is installed for very fast broadband. The bedroom is very quiet, not adjoining any other property. The flat is one of seven one-bed flats in a private block, and is on the third floor (no lift). It is central and has great transport links (including the Elizabeth line, via nearby Farringdon). The flat would be suitable for a professional individual or couple, or for a student in post-graduate education.

The flat was occupied for years by my sister and has since had three sets of very nice tenants. It has always been kept in excellent working order, and we have just had it freshly repainted (since these photos were taken, but with the same colour scheme). I am hoping to find someone who likes to live somewhere nice, and will be keen to keep it that way. To help make this happen, I am happy to offer to pay myself for a thorough cleaning of the flat once a month.

So that you know... the main disadvantages we have found to living in the flat were: no residents' parking; no easy bicycle storage (though you are welcome to carefully carry bikes upstairs and keep in the flat); living room can get hot in summer (the velux windows have a shade-screen option that helps a lot with this); and the bedroom window has a not-especially-lovely view of the office building behind, and is somewhat overlooked by the office workers during the day when they are there. But truly, as a whole it is a great place to live in a wonderful area, and my sister, previous tenants and myself have all been very happy there.
