Your kitchen/diner offers a wealth of social space, opening up the possibility of your front reception serving as a sleeper. Kitchen cabinets are cream, seamless and glossy with dark, timber effect worktops and a smoky grey metro tile splashback.

The dining area and social space is smartly marked out by one counter, with engineered blonde hardwood running underfoot and a sash window framing a leafy green view.

Finally, climb the second staircase for the 180 square foot loft room, twin skylights sit in the vaulted ceiling and there's a welcome wealth of storage under the eaves, always a welcome bonus in London apartment living.

One end of the space is composed entirely of exposed brick, while artfully distressed original timber floorboards run underfoot, perfect as an extra bedroom, extra reception, or study.

Yardarm beneath you is one of the finest, a cafe, deli and wine shop offering a selection of expertly curated vintages, coffees and deli products to enjoy on site or take away. Great neighbours to have.
