2 bedroom apartment to rent

Nestled on a leafy street lined with heritage homes, this airy apartment features honey-hued floors and an elegant neutral palette. The kitchen and living room, although not directly connected, have an open feel. Sleek cabinets, integrated appliances and plenty of storage make the kitchen a practical space to cook. A bay window with French doors makes an eye-catching first impression as you enter the living room. Reams of natural light floods the home’s spacious nucleus, accentuated by lofty ceilings and generous proportions. The custom-made shelving and TV unit dominates one wall, bringing character and a stylish feel to the room. Eclectic art and furniture fill the space; a tapestry hangs on one wall, while a yellow sofa and armchair are a playful addition.

Through the patio doors, an al fresco dining area complete with outdoor furniture awaits sunnier months. Beyond, there’s a grassy private garden and sizeable shed.

Back inside in the principal suite, a large window channels natural light into the south-facing room. Custom-built wardrobes offer an understated storage solution, while a majestic chrome bedframe holds centre stage. Wooden floors and light-toned walls bring a sense of warmth and calm. The marble-wrapped en suite pairs a dual vanity with a substantial bathtub.

Calming pared back-back tones continue into the guest bedroom, striking a similarly peaceful note. White walls and large wardrobes create a restful setting, while large sash windows invite an abundance of natural light. The family bathroom serves the guest bedroom and features a rainfall shower and marble tile décor.

Location
With its strong literary associations and village-like character, Hampstead is defined by its elegant charm, local amenities and proximity to the green oasis of the Heath. Head to the high street and pick up supplies from The Hampstead Butcher or grab a sweet treat from Lola’s Bakery – sister of Lola’s Cupcakes. Venture further into Hampstead where Sunday roasts are best at The Holly Bush or the Duke of Hamilton. Stretch the legs on a walk around the Hill Garden and Pergola before a swim in the serene bathing ponds. End the day with dinner at H?m, or a takeaway from London-famed Moxies Fish Bar.
