St. Johns Court, Finchley Road, London, NW3

Welcome to this stylish one-bedroom apartment in South Hampstead, set within a well-preserved nineteen-thirties Art Deco building on Finchley Road. The secure building benefits from an attended lobby, while the apartment combines contemporary comfort with warm, individual design. Light wood flooring, soft neutral tones, rich Persian-style rugs and carefully chosen statement furniture create a welcoming home with plenty of character. With Waitrose directly downstairs and excellent transport connections just moments away, the location could hardly be more practical for exploring London.

The apartment accommodates up to two guests and features one comfortable double bedroom and one bathroom with a shower over the bath. Situated on the third floor with lift access, the apartment is positioned towards the rear of the building, offering a quieter and more peaceful setting away from the main road. The bedroom is simply styled for a restful stay and provides generous storage through double wardrobes and drawers.

The light-filled living and dining area has a relaxed, characterful feel, with a comfortable sofa, yellow velvet armchair, television, colourful accents and sleek built-in cabinetry. The furniture is newly installed, and the freshly painted walls give the space a bright, well-presented finish. A round dining table provides an inviting place for meals and can also be used as a laptop-friendly workspace.

The separate kitchen is fitted with modern appliances, including a washing machine and microwave, while warm wood cabinetry and dark worktops create a smart, contemporary look. The bathroom offers a striking contrast with glossy dark Art Deco-inspired tiling, mirrored surfaces and a crisp white suite.
