3-bedroom Flat for rent at Cubitt St, London, WC1X

Spacious & light-filled 3 double bedroom, 4 bathroom apartment with private garden, first-floor balcony, home office and garage. Quiet street, just 10min walk from King's Cross St Pancras. To be offered newly redecorated.

This is a unique, light-filled and spacious three-bedroom, four-bathroom family home arranged over two floors. It features a private garden at ground level, a first-floor balcony, a mezzanine home office and a private garage.

The current photographs were taken at the very beginning of a redecoration project (now underway), so the finished standard of the apartment will be higher than shown in these photos.

The Ground Floor is dedicated to living space, with an impressive double-height reception room that draws the eye upward and creates a sense of openness and light. The dining area comfortably seats six, while the open-plan kitchen is centred around a large island, ideal for casual family breakfasts. The living space connects to a private, low-maintenance patio garden - a manageable outdoor space perfect for al fresco dining, summer barbecues or simply enjoying a quiet moment outdoors. A guest WC and shower room are also located on this floor.

Upstairs, the three bedrooms are all spacious doubles with built-in wardrobes, and are all fitted with both privacy blinds and blackout blinds. The exceptionally large master bedroom and the very generous second bedroom both benefit from en-suite shower rooms, while the third double bedroom has its own private balcony and is served by the adjacent family bathroom (with bathtub). The mezzanine level offers a workspace with expansive views over the garden, or additional space for visiting family and guests.

A particular advantage in this central location is the private garage, accessible directly from the entrance hallway of the apartment. It provides secure parking for a small vehicle or bicycles, and doubles as a utility room, housing the washing machine, tumble dryer and boiler - keeping these practical elements out of the main living spaces.

Residents are eligible for the Congestion Charge residents' discount, delivering a substantial ongoing saving, while the apartment’s impressive energy efficiency further helps lower running costs.

Location

Ideally positioned on a quiet side street just half a mile (approximately 10 minutes' walk) from King’s Cross St Pancras, widely regarded as London's best-connected transport hub. The station offers six Underground lines (Piccadilly, Northern, Victoria, Circle, District and Hammersmith & City), two major mainline terminals, and direct high-speed international services via Eurostar. The original station is a historic 1852 Victorian landmark designed by Lewis Cubitt (after whom the street is named) and is famously home to Platform 9 3/4 from the Harry Potter stories.

The wider King's Cross area beautifully blends Victorian heritage with contemporary architecture, where Michelin-starred restaurants sit alongside traditional British pubs, and vibrant food markets coexist with established award-winning venues.

At its heart is Granary Square, a large pedestrianised space featuring delightful sensory fountains and framed by cafés and restaurants with generous outdoor terraces. Wide steps sweep down to Regent’s Canal, offering a popular spot for open-air cinema in Summer and relaxed people-watching throughout the year. Coal Drops Yard provides a thoughtful mix of independent boutiques, designer stores and street-food stalls showcasing the latest food trends. The neighbourhood maintains a year-round programme of events, performances and activities, from artisan markets to weekend-long family festivals and more.

Even closer to the apartment, Exmouth Market is just a 4-minute walk away, next to the charming Wilmington Square Garden, one of several traditional garden squares open to the public. The nearest full-size supermarket is a Waitrose, less than 10 minutes away on foot. The pleasant walk can take you through St George’s Gardens or the peaceful Brunswick Square Gardens, passing Coram's Fields with its popular adventure playground. Here you will also find the Brunswick Centre, an attractive open-air destination that, in addition to Waitrose, offers other shops, restaurants, cafés and a cinema - providing everyday convenience and entertainment in a pleasant setting.

The iconic British Library is within a 10-minute walk, and the world-renowned British Museum is approximately 15 minutes away on foot. The location is also convenient for a range of well-regarded local schools and within easy reach of several of London’s leading universities.

With this distinctive combination of history, culture, excellent international connectivity and everyday convenience, it is difficult to imagine a more appealing location for a discerning family looking to enjoy the very best of London.

Presented fully furnished (with the option to remove furniture), the home will be available from 29 August. By this date it will have been completely repainted and fitted with brand-new mattresses throughout, ensuring a fresh and welcoming arrival for its new family.
