Every inch of space is used to masterful effect

Occupying the fourth and fifth floors of a handsome mansion block on Great Portland Street, this two-bedroom apartment is a calm and quiet retreat in London's West End. A comprehensive renovation by architect Ping-kern Ng has made deft use of space, with a series of cleverly conceived partition walls allowing for flexible division of the primary living areas. The apartment's Fitzrovia setting brings some of London's most iconic neighbourhoods within easy walking distance, including Soho and Bloomsbury.

The Grand Tour

Entry to the apartment is from the third floor, via a communal stairwell. A second staircase leads up to the main living area - a naturally well-lit space with space to accommodate a dining table and a sitting area. Bespoke bookcases are built into one side of the room.

A simple and modern integrated kitchen sits opposite, with white units and worktops. White painted walls and oak floorboards continue throughout the interior.

The adjacent second bedroom, or office space, is situated on this floor, screened for privacy by an adjustable partition wall that can be easily opened out to reconfigure this area of the room. The main bathroom is also on this level, with white tiles and a shower over the bath.

A second carpeted staircase leads to the principal bedroom, where dual-aspect windows draw in uninterrupted natural light. An en suite bathroom has been ingeniously concealed, with the bath and a sink tucked behind one wall.

Above, the eaves of the building offer a generous provision of storage space. A resident parking permit is available on application.

Out and About

Great Portland Street connects the residential areas of Regent’s Park and the West End. The area provides an excellent concentration of celebrated restaurants and bars, while the shops and boutiques of Bond Street and Oxford Street are within easy reach.

The Remedy wine bar, Daunt Books, The Wallace Collection, and The Ginger Pig butchers are proven highlights for Great Portland Street residents. The Soho, Bloomsbury, and Coal Drops Yard are also a short walk away, with a great choice of independent art galleries, restaurants, and shops.

The area offers plenty of state and private schooling opportunities. St Vincent’s Catholic Primary School and All Souls CofE Primary School are well-regarded by local families. For secondary education, the St Marylebone CofE School, Francis Holland School, and Jeannine Manuel are excellent.

Transport links for the area are exceptional. The street is served at the northern end by Great Portland Street station, six minutes away on foot and served by Hammersmith and City, Circle and Metropolitan lines. Oxford Circus and Bond Street underground stations are less than a 15-minute walk away.
