Set above one of west London’s most characterful streets, this two-bedroom apartment to rent pairs minimalist design with a front-row seat to the best of Notting Hill.

Occupying the first floor, heritage proportions are reworked through a contemporary lens. Original architecture forms a calm backdrop for curated artwork and understated finishes, while the generous footprint lends itself naturally to hosting. Light pours through the reception room’s bay window, illuminating a relaxed seating area centred around a deep navy velvet sofa.

At the opposite end of the space, the kitchen and dining area balances utility with restraint. Pebble-toned cabinetry and cool marble worktops bring texture and polish, while pendant lighting hangs above a large dining table.

Just beyond the bay window, the reception room’s balcony frames a direct view towards Electric Cinema – one of Notting Hill’s enduring landmarks. From here, the movement and character of Portobello Road plays out below. To the rear, the kitchen spills seamlessly onto a private paved terrace: a quieter counterpoint to the street beyond, with a high-spec barbecue and outdoor seating.
