Beautiful features and location but a bit of an odd layout and with a strangely unlived-in vibe:

That is nice, isn't it.  Comes with everything one might want and all done to a high standard.  The only concern is service charges, which aren't mentioned in the agent's bumf.  

and "original sash windows" - howling gales?

Why would original windows be a concern? Surely cheap plastic replacements would be more of a concern.

I lived in a house with original sash windows.  Definitely wouldn't be approved of by "Insulate Now" protesters.

You ought to tell 'Insulate Britain' all about it; a few protestors are bound to glue themselves to your window frames, which would solve the draught problem free of cost.  

That house was demolished in the 1970s.  
But I like your insulation solution.

Fabulous idea.  I wonder if you could patent it and make money?

This made me proper laugh  Post of the day!

Unfortunately, the human body is not a particularly good material to use for insulation. If you really want to compare, this table provides a few numbers - https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Thermal-Properties-of-the-Human-Body_tbl1_228625768

As a draught excluder, if you can squish it up enough to seal the gaps, the material should work in the short term. But over time, expect it to putrefy, shrink, and fall out.

A better solution would be to convert the body in to energy to heat the property. Andrei Molodkin has perfected a process to produce a crude oil - No idea how much would be liberated or if the process yields more energy than it uses. Alternatively, put the protesters on a treadmill or exercise bike linked to a generator - If feed in tariffs were still a thing, it could have been quite profitable.

I don't think that is a real flat. The Rightmove entry only really talks (vaguely) about the complex as a whole, no floorplans, and the view from the window doesn't seem to fit Google Street View. The show home isn't even available to view yet. And 2 baths in a one-bedroom flat?

The towels look very 1960s!

Two bathrooms seems a waste in a one bed flat. A bit of a rush job cobbling together cgi for the advert!

I agree. More of a 'representation' as advert refers to studios, 1 & 2 bed apartments. Photo of 2 bathrooms probably relates to the 2 beds. 

Position of cooker is an accident waiting to happen though

You mean even a computer render stretches the pictures like most estate agent protography?
