Mid Century Yellow

Design hounds will purr at this apartment’s unusual furniture, funky flooring and clever interior touches. All of those quirks blend seamlessly with modern luxuries like a huge walk-in shower. Our favourite hangout, however, was the south-facing balcony – perfect for reading the morning papers with a coffee on sunny mornings. And while the location on a semi-main road brings some slight traffic noise, you'll love being within strolling distance of glamorous King’s Road and cool museums like the V&A.

Home truths:
* The nearest tube stations (both South Kensington & Gloucester Road) are a 15 minute walk away
* This home is on a fairly busy road (Beaufort Street) so there might be some associated light traffic noise
* Access to this home is up a flight of stairs so be prepared to do a bit of lugging of your suitcases on arrival
*Unfortunately the fireplace is out of action
