About
A short walk from the picturesque enclave of Neal's Yard, this beautiful two bedroom apartment would ideally suit two sharers.
Featuring high ceilings, the apartment was recently refurbished to a contemporary style with a smart open-plan kitchen with grey units, light beech wooden flooring and a modern shower room with white brick tiles.
Both bedrooms have useful fitted storage and secondary glazing is fitted for tenant comfort. Shaftesbury Avenue boasts a convenient location with much of Central London easily accessible on foot.
Buses operate along Shaftesbury Avenue itself, while Tottenham Court Road (Central, Northern and Elizabeth Lines) and Covent Garden (Piccadilly Line) are within a short walk for travel within London and as far as Heathrow.
Mayfair, St James's. Soho and Fitzrovia are all easily accessible on foot. The apartment is available late November on an unfurnished basis. Subject to contract and satisfactory references.
