1 room apartment of 138m² in London

Cross the discreet threshold into Primrose Hill Studios and calm descends. Just off Fitzroy Road in the heart of Primrose Hill, this tucked-away courtyard of buildings was once home to an artistic community, from Proms founder Sir Henry Wood to the illustrator Arthur Rackham and the pre-Raphaelite painter JW Waterhouse. The same sense of openness and creativity that inspired its predecessors lives on. Step inside this low-slung red-brick house and the vertical footprint unexpectedly soars. If it’s space you crave, the double-height living area will satisfy. Amplifying the sense of volume, a towering window faces northwest, making the room a magnet for soft natural light. Despite its scale, the space feels inviting. Centred around a fireplace and overlooked by a mezzanine level, it’s zoned between seating and dining areas that flow seamlessly into a separate kitchen. Finished in neutral tones and featuring ample preparation space and a breakfast bar, this is a room you’ll want to cook in. The bedroom continues the minimal mood, with white walls, wooden floors and fitted storage. The accompanying bathroom is generous in size, featuring a bathtub with a shower and twin towel rails. Surveying it all, the standout mezzanine level can serve as a peaceful study area or occasional guest bedroom. Below, a large basement level extends the footprint, offering valuable storage space.
