Or the apartment might be low and intimate with deep-set windows and comfortable window seats. A flight of steps might take you high into a hidden love-nest that sprawls amongst the eaves. There might be a hearth, a timbered ceiling or a Mary Poppins vista over chimney pots. Some apartments surprise with a curved bath, 4 have privately-owned gardens. All have a trendy sense of comfort: space, handsome looks, sleek furniture and accessories. Muted colours are mixed with bold wallpaper and shots of pink, aubergine or turquoise; fun but not too startling.
