2 bedroom flat to rent

Behind a pale-blue period façade, characteristic of its Notting Hill postcode, Westbourne Grove pairs timeless interiors with a welcoming atmosphere.

Streamlined and sunlit, the open-plan kitchen and reception room is an uplifting space in which to be social. With a whitewashed framework, the eye is drawn to a feature wall at one end of the room, with layers of natural tones and textures. At the other end, two glass roofs crown the kitchen and dining areas, affording conservatory-esque brightness and volume. Light subtly plays against a stainless steel splashback, with a rangemaster oven envisaged for culinary creativity. At its centre, a curved marble island doubles as an informal breakfast bar. Two sets of French doors open to the paved terrace: a secluded suntrap for a breath of fresh air.

The principal bedroom suite is all hushed tones, grounded with dark wood floors. Open the windows to a cast-iron balcony that overlooks Westbourne Grove. Its ensuite bathroom is complete with a large waterfall shower and inviting bath. Mirroring the principal bedroom, there’s also balcony access from the tranquil guest bedroom – a space which could be reimagined as a home office. An additional shower room sits next door.

Location
Running between Kensington and Queensway, Westbourne Grove is the vibrant artery that feeds Notting Hill. A place for leisurely café lunches after sifting through Portobello Road Market or picking up local produce at The Notting Hill Fish & Meat Shop just below the apartment. Favoured brunch spots include Beam, Granger & Co. or Farmacy; for dinner, head to Gold or Core by Clare Smyth. Hyde Park awaits long strolls or morning swims at the Serpentine Lido.
