A spacious duplex apartment set on the fourth floor of a handsome period building, once home to George Orwell. The interiors make the most of the building’s height and tall studio windows, creating bright, loft-like spaces with a warm, contemporary feel. The main living area has generous volume, its open layout arranged for cooking, dining and easy entertaining. Pale timber flooring and crisp white walls keep the focus on light, while the kitchen is finished with white lacquered cabinetry, Italian Basalt stone worktops and Viola taps. The mezzanine level is arranged as a peaceful principal suite, reached by a private staircase and screened by a soft run of curtains. This upper floor includes a dressing area with fitted wardrobes and a large ensuite bathroom with twin basins, a walk-in shower and a deep bath. The second bedroom sits quietly on the lower level, also a comfortable double, with its own bathroom opposite. Both bedrooms have excellent storage and a calm, pared-back aesthetic. Located at the top of Market Place, Orwell Studios sits in a pocket where Fitzrovia, Soho and Marylebone meet. Cafés line the surrounding streets, with boutique shops, galleries and restaurants only a few minutes away. Regent Street and Oxford Circus are within easy reach, as are the green spaces of Cavendish Square and Regent’s Park. It is a spot that combines lively city energy with the feeling of being tucked above it all.
