2 bed terraced house to rent

Godolphin Road, Shepherds Bush W12

Paying homage to Godolphin Road’s commercial heritage, Coupedeville Architects restored the building’s façade in reclaimed London Stock brick to harmonise with its neighbouring terraces. Black aluminium-framed windows make a bold statement against the pale brickwork; such visual contrast is continued inside.

Engineered-oak floors draw you into a spacious open-plan kitchen and reception room. The industrial edge of the steel ceiling girders is softened by a whitewashed finish, whilst green cabinetry injects a soothing colour to the space. The British Standard kitchen has a quiet sophistication, with wooden worktops and Bosch appliances. The expansive Crittall-style frosted windows channel reams of light to fill the room – without compromising privacy. Speakers are set for evenings of entertainment. There’s cleverly-integrated storage beneath the staircase, set behind white tongue-and-groove panels.

An immaculately-finished oak staircase with a monochromatic balustrade leads to the first-floor bedroom suite. The pared-back palette is uplifting and soothing, illuminated through large black-framed glazing. Its ensuite bathroom is all white metro tiles, with an inviting bath for long soaks. Upstairs, a guest bedroom continues the serene atmosphere, with a full-width panoramic window flooding the space with light. Its floor-to-ceiling wardrobes and ensuite bathroom epitomise stylish functionality.
