A stucco-fronted townhouse to rent with a Scandi feel. Streamlined simplicity plays out across four floors.

Form meets function in the considered kitchen. Clean lines and uncluttered marble surfaces allow the considered craftsmanship to shine. Keen cooks should take note of the range cooker. A house tailor-made for entertaining, a second dining space features impressive proportions, with a double-height ceiling lined with clerestory windows that enhance the light and airy feel. A bubble-shaped chandelier forms a striking centrepiece, suspended over a circular dining table that seats six.

Above, a picture window in the upstairs library looks out over the space, emphasising the volumes at play. Painted in a dramatic red with an Eames lounge chair, it makes for an atmospheric reading spot.

The bedrooms revert to a more neutral colour palette. The principal suite is finished in soothing tones and warm wooden furniture. Its streamlined en suite features a crisp white roll top bath and walk-in shower. Two further bedrooms are found on the top floor – one with access to a balcony – served by a shower room featuring an inviting sauna.

French doors from the dining room and open effortlessly out onto the leafy, tree-lined garden. A shade-dappled is a peaceful spot for a quiet moment with a book or an al fresco meal with friends.

A further reception room, kitchen and en suite bedroom is found on the lower ground floor. With its own entrance, this level is perfect for nannies, teenagers or guests who appreciate their own space.
