A Bright and Cozy One-Bedroom Apartment in London

This light, one-bedroom apartment is located on the first floor of a handsome Victorian building close to Newington Green in London. Despite having a floor size of only 39 square meters, the little home feels spacious thanks to its light color scheme and large windows.

The apartment has two rooms: an open-plan living room and kitchen at the front of the plan, and on the opposite side of the hall, a bedroom facing the greenery outside.

The sitting room is centered around a brick fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves. Despite the modest size, there is space for a desk in one of the niches, a large comfy sofa, and a leather armchair.
