Take your pick from numerous living spaces. On the ground floor, reception rooms flank either side of the wide hallway – all intricate cornicing, high ceilings and working marble fireplaces ready for cosy evenings. Floor-to-ceiling bay windows flood both rooms with natural light. One comes with a desk for homeworking, the other with an inviting configuration of armchairs – grab a page turner from the bookshelves to enjoy.
Bright, spacious and welcoming in feel, this elegant heritage house to rent is the ultimate family home from home.
Property information
Overview
Standing tall at the end of a row of stucco-fronted townhouses, not far from Kensington High Street and Holland Park, there’s plenty to explore within walking distance of this impressive west London base. Grand inside and out, lofty proportions and characterful period features define five floors of social settings.
The living spaces
Family living continues downstairs with a third reception room finished in atmospheric royal blue alongside an open-plan kitchen and dining room – both more intimate and relaxed in feel than their more formal counterparts upstairs. The kitchen is designed for congregating in. A breakfast bar takes centre stage with its own sink, while integrated Miele appliances and a Lacanche oven, stove and extractor hood create an elegant, and well-equipped, culinary setting. Beyond, a dining table sits within a bright conservatory that opens onto a patio garden.
Bedrooms & bathrooms
Back inside on the first floor, period features continue into the sleeping quarters. The neutral-hued principal bedroom suite sits behind sliding doors, with a wall of custom-built cabinetry and an expansive bay window overlooking Argyll Road’s impressive façades. A study, dressing room and bathroom with a walk-in shower and double vanity completes the suite.
Up the impressive staircase, two further guest suites await with the same soothing tones and light-flooded interiors. The remaining two bedrooms crown the home on the top floor, with views out across Kensington’s rooftops, and served by a shower room. Skylights illuminate period features in the hallway and bathroom, and a Juliet balcony sits off one of the bedrooms.
Outdoor space
Outside, al fresco dining is an inviting possibility. With privacy provided by a veil of bamboo and shrubbery, the manicured setting is an oasis amid London’s hustle and bustle, with plenty of outdoor furniture for entertaining.

The neighbourhood
Immerse yourself in all the neighbourhood has to offer at Argyll Road, a springboard to Holland Park and Notting Hill.
Just around the corner from Kensington High Street’s variety of shops and delis, while Holland Park Avenue’s string of independent retailers is a 20-minute walk away – there’s everything you could need on the doorstep here. Pick up a paperback from Daunt Books and spend a leisurely afternoon in Holland Park or Kensington Gardens. A walk in the other direction brings you to the award-winning Design Museum. Stretch your legs further with a stroll to Portobello Road, stopping for a drink at The Hillgate on the way.
