1 Bedroom Apartment in West End Gate, London

Some places just have that slow comfortable feeling when you walk in and honestly this one bedroom apartment at Westmark in West End Gate does exactly that. The moment you step inside you get this sense that you are away from the rush even though the building is right in the middle of Marylebone. It almost feels like you have stumbled into one of London's best kept secrets the sort of place you hear about from a friend. I remember stopping just by the door and looking straight through the living space to those larger balcony doors daylight spilling in and making you forget you are right in the heart of the city. It is not one of those compact apartments where you always feel like you need to clear out your things just to move around. There is real space here space to spread out and breathe a bit.

The living and dining area sort of flow together in a way that actually works not echoey or strange like some newer places get. The kitchen is just off to the side and you can see it was built for people who actually use their kitchen. The composite stone counter tops are not just pretty but solid and easy to keep clean. There is that nice feeling you get when you shut the new soft close cupboards and they do not make a sound. Every little bit gives a sense of quality. Picture yourself making pasta or prepping breakfast while friends talk at the table just steps away. The flooring feels good too. Engineered timber underfoot in all the main areas it has that sense of warmth while in the bedroom the carpet is so soft you almost miss your own footsteps crossing it. There are these lived in details that make it easy to picture coming home at the end of the day and just relaxing.

If you ask me the real highlight is the balcony. Proper double glazed sliding doors open off the living room and you get this full city skyline view that makes you want to just stand there for a while taking it in. It is not one of those awkward little ledges either. You could put a table and two chairs out here and actually use it. That morning coffee spot right outside or dinner while the sky goes pink in the evenings. The bedroom has those floor to ceiling windows that keep everything light and bright to the point where you sometimes forget you are in London at all. Waking up with all that natural light is the kind of thing you only realise you missed once you have it.

On the ground floor West End Gate has gone all out to make life here more than just about the apartment. There is this lovely wellness suite I really noticed it because of the eucalyptus scent as soon as you go in. There is a proper steam room a sauna all tucked away like your own quiet hideout. The treatment room too if you ever feel like a massage or just switching off. The gym is no afterthought either plenty of space plus the kind of equipment people actually use you see folks working out properly not just passing through. The private dining space downstairs is bigger than you might expect and I have seen people celebrating birthdays or just hosting a laid back Sunday brunch there. Next to it there is a private screening room for watching films with friends. Honestly it all feels really usable not just for show. The concierge is on hand all the time which has to be one of the best parts for anyone who travels a lot or always has parcels arriving.

The community feel is something else. Step out and you are in Marylebone which means cafés on the corner and neighbours who spend mornings outside with coffee. In the evenings you see couples wandering out for dinner or folks reading on benches. The Underground is just up the street so getting anywhere in London is never a hassle you might find you just leave your car parked for ages. And the best thing is everything you might need is just a walk away no matter if you want food groceries or a good book.

Whether you are searching for your first home in London or want that perfect base in the city West End Gate makes sense. I honestly think seeing it in person gives you the best feel for if it is right or not. If you want to take a look or just ask a few things let me know.
