2 bed Flat For Rent £3,250
Leamington Road Villas, Notting Hill, Kensington & Chelsea, W11

Hidden within a blonde-brick, portico-fronted townhouse, this apartment is all pared-back design and laid-back style. Through a gated entrance, enter this property on the first floor, which is given over to a white, honeycomb-tiled bathroom.

Storage is discreet and a freestanding bath makes the most of the light that filters through the west-facing window – the treetops create a layer of privacy here. The second storey is carved into zones. A traditional fireplace is the focal point in the reception room, where cut-out, corniced walls add depth and keep it connected with the storage-lined hall and dedicated study area toward the back. Past the curved sofa and open shelving, French doors that open on to a west-facing Juliet balcony.

The kitchen is a fuss-free space, fitted with integrated appliances – note the wine cooler – reams of storage, polished counters and metro tiles. Two bedrooms are arranged at the front of the property. The monochrome master, with a built-in wardrobe and decorative cast-iron fireplace, is lit by a big sash window and a glass chandelier. The second bedroom is equally as serene, with modern lighting, a dressing table and another feature fireplace carved into an Aegean-blue chimney breast.

Location:
One of a string of period townhouses, Leamington Road Villas is lined with quintessential Notting Hill architecture, charm and sense of community. From here, the thriving throughfares of Notting Hill are within easy reach. Good days start with a stroll along the canal or sifting through vintage wares at Portobello Market. Pick up a loaf of tangy sourdough at Fabrique or dine out at Caractère. End the evening at the Electric Cinema or The Cow. Be back home in six.
