A short walk from Primrose Hill’s park and good-life cafés, this old-meets-new home is great spot for small families or friends to enjoy a little R&R, in style. Sleeps five.

You can breathe deep in this beautifully bright apartment. Outside, residential Harley Road is hushed. Beyond that, the wide-open greenspace of Primrose Hill. The cityscape looks especially beautiful from up here.

A recent renovation has embraced and elevated the elegant blueprint of this traditional home. Think industrial furnishings against sweeping bay windows. Top-tier appliances framed by period details.

An oversized archway diffuses the boundary between the open-plan living/ dining room and adjoining kitchen, channelling the light from one side of the apartment to the other. It’s naturally bright, whether you’re perched for coffee on the window seat or gathering for dinner by the red-marble fireplace. The high-end kitchen is well-equipped for home-cooked meals – all you need to do is pick up produce from the nearby delis of Primrose Hill.

The apartment has two bedrooms, including a master suite with super-king bed and shower room. In the second bedroom, a cleverly designed bunk incorporates a double bed on the base and a single above. Kids will love it. And mostly likely adults too. Getting ready feels special in the old-meets-new family bathroom, with herringbone tiles, encaustics, a fantastic arched window and a rainfall shower over the tub.
