Studio Flat, London, WC1H

Spacious, well-equipped, purpose-built second floor studio flat in an elegant 1930s residential building in a garden square in central London. Very close to the British Museum, British Library, London University and major teaching hospitals.

Despite being so central this flat is surprisingly quiet - overlooking the small private garden to the rear of the block. It has been furnished and decorated to a very high standard. The large, light, square bed-sitting room has a wall-bed, which can be folded out of sight when not in use, without removing the bedclothes, leaving a comfortable sofa when in the folded position. There is also a large, leather armchair, ample shelves, a glass dining table with beech dining chairs, a large pine drawer and cupboard unit, bedding chest/coffee table. The mirrored entrance hall has a built-in cupboard containing a washing machine and ample wardrobe space. The bathroom has a bath, an over-bath shower, wash-basin and lavatory. The tiny but well-equipped kitchen has a white granite worktop, a dishwasher, a fridge, a two-ring high-speed electric black glass hob and a combi-oven (micro-wave and fan oven combined). There are also many excellent restaurants and take-away establishments in the area for those who prefer not to cook! Hot water and central heating are included in the rent.

The apartment block was built in the 1930s. The decoration and amenities are maintained to a high standard, both inside and out. There are two lifts and a resident porter. At the front the building overlooks Tavistock Square gardens. Secure storage is available for bicycles in a locked outbuilding. Residents’ car parking permits are available from Camden Council.

The building is extremely well situated for public transport. It is within a short walking distance of Euston, Euston Square and Russell Square stations and within perhaps a 10 minute walk of St Pancras (for the Eurostar), Kings Cross, and Goodge Street stations. There are many useful bus routes in the area, too.

As well as being close to London's major academic and medical centres, it is within easy reach of commercial centres. The high-tech shops of Tottenham Court Road are very close and the fashionable Brunswick Square shopping centre is even closer: this hosts a Waitrose supermarket, many other well-known high street stores, restaurants coffee bars and book shops, as well as the independent art-house Renoir cinema. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to Oxford Circus or Soho and about the same to walk to the Inns of Court and the financial district of the City of London. The King's Place concert hall and exhibition space is about 15 minutes walk away.

There is a health club (gym and pool) on the opposite side of the square and several other very good value pools and gyms in the area, including the YMCA and the University of London Union.  The property is suitable for visiting academics or post-graduate students but no undergraduates, please.
