Are you a struggling writer looking for literary inspiration?

Then perhaps renting a flat that Jane Austen once called home might do the trick.

If not, how would you like to live in a stunning red brick property, just a short stroll away from Harrods?

Either way, you're in luck.

The stunning two-bedroom flat in Knightsbridge is available to rent and benefits from two bathrooms, two receptions rooms, a cinema room and communal gardens.

We can just imagine the famous author taking a turn in the greenery before retiring to a reception room to pen her thoughts.

Aside from a blue plaque outside the building which denotes someone of historical significance once lived there, you would never guess the flat was lived in by Jane Austen and her brother more than 200 years ago.

The property's modern furnishings and decor give it much more a 21st century vibe.

But you do need to be Mr Darcy-level rich to rent the flat, as at £1,395 per week it's not cheap.

However, it is a 1,428 square foot property in between Knightsbridge, Sloane Square and Hyde Park Corner Tube stations.

The Pride and Prejudice author lived at Hans Place with her brother Henry between 1814 and 1815, a couple of years before she died and shortly after Mansfield Park was published.

It's even possible that she wrote some of Emma sitting in this very flat.
