2 bed flat to rent

Amberley Road, Maida Vale, London W9

Arranged over two storeys of a private apartment block on the Grand Union Canal, this two-bedroom home is set to soothe. Capitalising on its fifth-floor vantage point, the open-plan kitchen, reception and dining room is a bright and uplifting setting.

Sunlight fills the space through dual-aspect windows, with a neutral tonal palette affording a tranquil atmosphere. At one end of the room, the kitchen pairs glossy worktops with mosaic tiling; at the other, a cosy and inviting living area awaits. From here, full-height glazing slides open to reveal the roof terrace - an unrivalled spot to view the waterway.

Downstairs, the bedrooms have been crafted with natural tones and textures to echo their surroundings. In the principal suite, sand-coloured walls instil a feeling of calm, while floor-to-ceiling rattan wardrobes make for a minimalist storage solution.

The adjoining en suite bathroom is similarly considered, complete with Tadelakt plaster surfaces. The guest bedroom suite – which can also be used as a home office – is served by an en suite shower room, also featuring Tadelakt finishes.

Location:
This apartment is set in one of London’s most picturesque locales, affectionately known as Little Venice. It’s a neighbourhood brimming with colour and elegance thanks to its vibrant barges and white stucco-fronted townhouses. When the flowers are in bloom, head to Rembrandt Park followed by coffee at The Waterside Café. Further up the canal, reach one of London’s oldest sporting venues, Lord’s Cricket Ground. Complete an evening with a live performance at Canal Café Theatre or wine tasting and French cuisine at local favourite Paulette.
