Two bedroom, two bathroom apartment in Marylebone

Art specialist

The Georgian elegance of the living room, with its four sash windows and period furniture is offset by the bright contemporary artwork on the walls. Recline on the slate grey velvet chaise longue and pontificate on your childhood, or sink into the sumptuous cushions of the golden sofa and let your imagination run away with itself. There's a cool blonde of a kitchen, perfect for rustling up a post-theatre supper, crying to be served on the antique table in the dining room. After discussing the evening's dramas, finally slope off up to bed in the master suite with its French artwork, Persian rugs, and ensuite bathroom. Or perhaps you'd prefer the fringe benefits of the second bedroom, with a steely Richard Serra poster and its discreet, offset bathroom. All are filled with our White Company toiletries, crisp linen, and fluffy white towels.

Portland Place is the best of both worlds, with the manicured wilds of Regents Park and its open-air theatre, zoo and Rose Garden just five minutes' walk away, while those souls made of stronger stuff may wander down to Oxford Circus and brave the Saturday shopping crowds. If it all gets too much, venture over to one of the many award winning restaurants on Charlotte Street for a leisurely lunch. And if it's an air of refinement you're after, then Marylebone High Street, with its pubs, bars and designer boutiques is a ten minute stroll away in the opposite direction.
