The Town House, Covent Garden, WC2N 4EA

Filled with character, offering fantastic proportions and a wonderful sense of light and volume, 'The Town House' is a completely unique property on the western edge of Covent Garden with views along the charming Cecil Court opposite.

From it's own front door on the street, the building is entered via an imposing original hallway featuring original doors, period fanlight windows and carriage lights, with a useful boot/cloak room at the foot of the staircase to the rear.

Half way up the first staircase is a generous and very useful storage cupboard, and from the first floor landing there is access to a large, modern utility room and guest cloakroom.

The grand central staircase from the first floor landing is the central focal point, connecting the remaining two floors, with a skylight at the top allowing plenty of natural light through the centre of the home.

The primary living spaces are located on the second floor, with a generous reception room to the front overlooking St.

Martin's Lane with views directly along Cecil Court from three beautiful original sash windows.

The adjacent dining room is separated by wonderful full-height bi-fold doors with a seperate door to the hallway, so could be used as a third bedroom if required.

To the rear, the lovely modern kitchen is finished with a mix of contemporary finishes and high quality appliances, featuring an island unit and breakfast bar, with exposed brick on one wall adding texture and warmth, and French doors opening onto the first of two private terraces.

The sweeping central staircase continues to the third floor, with the principal bedroom overlooking St. Martin's Lane to the front and featuring a generous dressing room and en-suite shower room.

The second bedroom is another well proportioned double situated at the rear, with access to a family bathroom.

Continuing to the roof, the staircase finishes within a glazed sun-room, opening on to a completely private and exceptionally generous terrace occupying the entire roof of the building, with far reaching views east and west over the rooftops of London's West End.

St. Martin’s Lane can be traced back as far as the 13th Century when it linked the two churches of St. Giles-in-the-Fields and St.Martin-in-the-Fields.

The modern incarnation is Covent Garden’s western border, a bustling boulevard with a cafe culture reminiscent of continental cities, Ian Schrager's St.

Martin's Lane hotel and numerous restaurants including vegan favourite Mildred’s and the legendary J. Sheekey.

This bustling thoroughfare links Seven Dials with Trafalgar Square and is a gateway to the wider West End, boasting numerous venues including The Duke of York’s and Noel Coward theatres and the London Coliseum, home of the English National Opera.

The neighbourhood offers everything from river views at the tranquil Embankment Gardens, world class theatres, to green open space and some wonderful pedestrianised streets such as New Row and Cecil Court, offering a true village atmosphere in the heart of the city.

Leicester Square (Northern and Piccadilly lines), Embankment (Bakerloo, Northern, Circle and District lines) and Leicester Square (Northern and Piccadilly lines) Underground Stations are all within walking distance, as well as Charing Cross Station for mainline and suburban services out of London.

The apartment is available from October on an unfurnished or furnished basis. Subject to contract and satisfactory references. Westminster Council tax band: E.
