As eccentrically shaped as the 19th century building in which it sits, the top floor flat on offer was originally an artist’s studio and now features a double height reception space with a kitchen and bathroom to the rear and a bedroom on a mezzanine level. It totals just 603 square foot in size but is described as having “commanding views over the square and towards the Victoria & Albert Museum”.
