5 bedroom terraced house to rent

An unexpected find in Kensal Rise, this three-storey home sits back concealed beyond an electric gated entrance. Inside, steel beams and multi-panelled windows make a feature of its industrial heritage, working in harmony with modern design. A former warehouse building initially united by architects Michaelis Boyd, a more recent renovation by Powell Tuck Associates celebrates the staggering proportions found throughout.

Through towering glass doors, contemporary touches elevate a striking framework. A sprawling open-plan living area is tailored for family life, featuring interconnected zones that allow space to spread out. To the left, a stainless-steel island sits at the centre of a chef-worthy WoonTheater kitchen. Old oak cabinets, painted brick walls, and state-of-the-art integrated appliances render a striking culinary environment. Engineered oak floors with underfloor heating tie the living spaces together. From the lounge area opposite, Crittall-style doors give way to the patio. Hosting comes naturally here – opt for a grand backdrop and free-flowing layout in the first floor reception, brightened by a trio of floor-to-ceiling windows and warmed by a Neville Stephens gas fireplace, or a more intimate ambiance in the cinema room. From the latter, concertina doors create a seamless transition to the suntrap garden.

On the first floor, pink plaster walls lend a cosy feel to the generous proportions of the principal bedroom. Featuring light and space in spades, a sliding door draws back to connect a dedicated dressing room. In the luxurious en-suite bathroom: a dual vanity, a curved freestanding tub and a walk-in shower with fixtures by Vola.

On the floor above, a pared-back palette amplifies natural light in the guest bedroom suite. Enjoy access to a standout en suite, plus a roof terrace. Two further bedrooms can be found on the ground floor, both considerately styled and with direct access to a patio garden. One features an en suite bathroom, while the other is served by a shower room opposite. Found adjoining the cinema room is a versatile space that could be used as an additional bedroom, study or lounge.
