Behind a monochromatic stucco and traditional brick façade, this four-bedroom London house to rent is a stone’s throw from vibrant Notting Hill.

Through the blue front door, a double reception room unfolds from behind a wall of Crittall-style glazing. At one end, a sash window framed by dark shutters illuminates the room, allowing light to dance across period cornicing, glossy herringbone floors and an ornate fireplace. A curved cream sofa offsets the sharper architectural features, establishing a space that’s both refined and welcoming. At the other end, another large window overlooking the garden ushers in more natural light. A second fireplace takes centre stage, surrounded by Victorian campaign chairs – a nod to the home’s period character.

The sleeping quarters continue with the home’s neutral palette. Spanning the entire first floor, the principal suite is elegant and restful in feel, with two sash windows overlooking the pretty street. Cast iron radiators and wooden floors add warmth and retain heritage, while fitted wardrobes bring day-to-day ease. Above the bed, a Japanese screen landscape emphasises the sense of calm. The en suite bathroom is sophisticated and serene, finished with a marble-clad bathtub, a dual vanity and a rainfall shower. A dressing room sits along the corridor.

The relaxing palette continues upstairs where three further bedrooms are found on the top floor, served by a family bathroom.
