The Brook Nook

Equal parts cosy and charming, this basement-level apartment hits all the right notes. The living space is filled with sunlight, and the table in the window makes a great spot for a morning cuppa. Even better, there are two outdoor spaces to take advantage of – one in the front, and another in the back. Location-wise, you'll be based in Brook Green near Kensington Olympia, a short stroll from High Street Kensington's shops and cafes. The neighbourhood strikes the perfect balance – it's close to the buzz of central London and is a ten-minute walk from Hammersmith Station, yet it still maintains a peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere.

Home truths:
*Pets are welcome to join you upon request.
*This apartment is on the lower ground floor of a typical Victorian mansion. There isn't a lift, and you'll need to climb down a set of external stairs to reach the front door.
*We think the patios look a tad tired, but they're still nice spots to enjoy the sunshine.
*The lead guest must be older than 26 years of age.
*The kitchen could do with a few more utensils and cookware, though there is enough to rustle up something light to eat.
