Cosway Mansions, Shroton Street, London, NW1

Elegant one-bedroom apartment in Cosway Mansions, offering generous living space, a bright kitchen, and a quiet bedroom with courtyard views. Ideally located in the heart of Marylebone, close to Regent’s Park, independent shops, dining, and superb transport links across London.

Tucked into the quieter streets of Marylebone, Cosway Mansions has a presence that feels both historic and homely. Its red brick frontage, softened by trees and sunlight, hints at the life inside: apartments with generous proportions, tall windows and a sense of calm that is rare in the centre of London. Here, history meets everyday ease, and the result is a home with true character.

This one bedroom apartment is found on the third floor, its position affording both brightness and a sense of seclusion. Every room feels purposeful, yet together they create a home that flows with a quiet harmony.

The living room sets the tone. Wide and inviting, it is a space that immediately conveys presence. Two large windows draw daylight across the room, framing views of Shroton Street and its rooftops. The tall ceilings heighten the sense of volume, while the generous floor area gives the room an openness that lends itself to both lively gatherings and quieter evenings.

The kitchen is equally impressive in its breadth. It easily accommodates both practical workspace and a dining corner. Pale cabinetry pairs with dark counters, while white metro tiles provide a crisp finish. Modern appliances, including a gas hob, dishwasher and washing machine, are neatly integrated. The large window fills the room with light and makes the kitchen feel like a place to enjoy, not merely to use. Its scale allows for relaxed dining, turning the kitchen into a sociable hub as much as a working space.
The bathroom continues the theme of natural light and thoughtful design. White tiles and neutral tones lend clarity and ease, while the combination of bath and overhead shower ensures versatility. A heated towel rail and mirrored cabinet add practical touches. Importantly, a window ensures the room feels bright and well ventilated, enhancing its comfort.

The bedroom, positioned at the far end of the apartment, offers quiet retreat. Windows look onto an internal courtyard, creating a calm outlook and reducing any intrusion from the street. Soft neutral walls allow the space to be shaped to personal taste, whether with classic touches or a more contemporary feel. Its proportions give it a sense of stature, something rarely found in apartments of this size.

Connecting these spaces is a long central hallway, a feature often absent in modern homes. Here, it creates a sense of progression, allowing the apartment to unfold gradually. The effect is one of balance and proportion, enhancing the impression that this is not simply a one bedroom flat, but a home of scale and presence.

The wider setting is equally compelling. Cosway Mansions sits moments from Regent’s Park, with its expanses of green, formal gardens and sports facilities.

The open air theatre, boating lake, and tranquil pathways all become an extension of daily life. To the south, Marylebone High Street provides refined cafés, independent boutiques and restaurants, while to the west St John’s Wood offers further character and charm. Baker Street, a few minutes’ walk away, connects across five Underground lines, while Marylebone station provides rail services beyond London. This centrality, combined with the relative peace of Shroton Street, creates a balance that few addresses achieve.

Life here is about more than convenience. It is about the enjoyment of space, the reassurance of solid Edwardian architecture, and the pleasure of living in a neighbourhood that feels both established and vibrant. The apartment offers not only light and comfort, but also a sense of distinction.

Cosway Mansions is a building with history, and this apartment is a rare opportunity within it. Every room is marked by clarity of design and abundance of light. It is a home that adapts to modern living without losing the character of its era. Whether as a London base or a primary residence, it offers something enduring: a place where everyday life is framed with grace and proportion.
