2 bedroom apartment to rent

Set on the ground floor of a quintessential Notting Hill townhouse, there’s a distinguished feel to this period apartment, recently refurbished with contemporary sensibility. Original features and a 3.4-metre-high ceiling elevate the kitchen and reception room – a sweeping, open-plan space of generous proportions. Large sash windows bookend the room, facing east and west, ensuring a steady stream of natural light throughout the day.

To one side, a wall of fitted cabinetry keeps the seating area streamlined. To the other, a shaker-style kitchen has a polished finish, complete with dark cabinetry, marble worktops and smart parquet flooring. An in-built banquet and island give options for dining, depending on the occasion.

A hallway separates the communal areas from the bedrooms, both of which feature convenient fitted storage. The principal is a considered space painted in sage green tones. Two bathrooms serve the home – one with a mosaic-tiled walk-in shower, the other with a bathtub – plus a separate cloakroom.

A stone’s throw away from the heart of Notting Hill, Linden Gardens is a quiet enclave with the vibrant city on its doorstep. Take your pick from a whole host of walkable restaurants and bars for impromptu dining out: brunch at Granger & Co, dinner and drinks at Gold. Treasure hunt at Portobello at golden hour. A morning’s walk to the Serpentine will offer welcome respite from the throng of Notting Hill or incorporate Kensington Gardens into your morning run routine – just a 5-minute walk away.
