Colour, artisanry and curated detail lie behind this impressive townhouse to rent in Notting Hill.

Stepping off the leafy street and through the sage front door, monochrome basket-weave tiles pave the way to the double reception room. A dual aspect outlook accentuates the sense of space, as Farrow & Ball hued walls add further depth to the period proportions, and delicate cornicing adorns the ceiling.

On the garden level, the open-plan kitchen and dining room is the heart of the home, with a large table and wishbone dining chairs to seat six. The culinary setting combines form and function, with sleek black and white cabinetry housing integrated appliances. A rice cooker, Sage Espresso machine and Le Creuset cookware make this the ideal setting for any chef. A rich, earthy red accent wall brings warmth to the space, as arched doorways and wooden floors provide a timeless counterpoint to contemporary flourishes.

Sisal carpet-lined stairs lead the way to the first floor where the principal suite sits as a sanctuary of relaxation. With pale green walls and furniture in an array of pastel hues, the bedroom is calm and considered. Custom-built wardrobes ensure ample storage, illuminated by two full-height sash windows.
