Just beyond the principal suite, a paved terrace offers a private pocket of open air – enclosed, peaceful and set up with low outdoor seating for morning coffee or evening digestifs.
An escape-worthy setting at the heart of South Kensington. Period proportions and a private collection of art uplift this two-bedroom apartment to rent.
Overview
Cornwall Gardens sits in a sweet spot between culture and quiet. The museums and Hyde Park are a short stroll away; the street itself has a tucked away feel set apart from the city. Behind a period façade, a thoughtful reworking by Disa Horn Design unfolds: contemporary artworks by Hyeyon Kwon Allen punctuate interiors, while a secluded terrace and communal gardens amp up the peace.

The living spaces
The reception room draws people in naturally – a setting to gather over drinks around the marble coffee table or settle in for intimate dinners beneath low-hanging lights. Tall proportions lend the space an easy sense of grandeur, while sheer curtains temper the daylight so everything feels diffused and easy on the eye. Sculptural chairs and soft upholstery are ready to sink into, primed for admiring the artwork or a movie night in.
An arched opening artfully frames the kitchen and dining area, where bespoke design by Triptych and Disa Horn Design is streamlined and structured; stone worktops and an aged brass sink by Olif add warmth. The island naturally becomes the place people drift towards – morning coffee, work calls or a glass of wine while dinner cooks. Appliances are all fully integrated, leaving the materials to do the talking.
Bedrooms & bathrooms
The bedrooms continue the home’s quiet sensibility. Calm and cocooning, both enjoy soft finishes, considered storage and a sense of retreat from the social spaces. The principal suite is all neutrals and natural light, with an en suite bathroom truly designed for indulgence. Refresh in the Zellige-tiled rainfall shower or soak away in the sky-lit bathtub. The second bedroom follows suit, sophisticated and served by a neighbouring shower room.
Outdoor space
The neighbourhood
At the centre of the cultural action, some of London’s most revered museums along Exhibition Road are within walking distance of Cornwall Gardens. Coveted local restaurants such as Macellaio RC, Cambio De Tercio and Margaux are just over 10 minutes away, perfect for get-togethers after a stroll around Brompton Cemetery – one of the capital’s seven historic burial grounds. It’s not far to reach the retail offerings along High Street Kensington either, followed by an evening of live music at Troubadour.
