2 bed terraced house to rent

Ladbroke Grove, London W10

The dark grey stucco façade of this end of terrace property gives nothing away regarding the colourful accents and playful angles that await up on the third and fourth floors, where personality and playfulness define an eclectic duplex apartment.

Through the private entrance and up glass-sided stairs, the open-plan reception room and kitchen unfolds. The walls are awash with peach tones, contrasted by bold black cornicing and window frames. Custom-built shelves ensure the room enjoys plenty of storage. A glass door leads to the home’s private south-facing terrace, where box seating and rooftop views make for an idyllic al fresco setting.

Back inside and through the magenta-hued hallway, the kitchen is a culinary haven. A dark turquoise island with gold hardware and a butler sink, sits centrally to the space, subtly separating the cooking and dining areas. Duck egg blue cabinetry conceals integrated appliances, while mirrored alcoves on the opposite wall emphasise the sense of space.

Ascend once more to the principal bedroom suite, a top-floor sanctuary where colour and texture work in harmony. The room is bordered by sage green cabinetry, its sunshine-yellow inlays offering a playful counterpoint to the natural tones. Sisal carpet runs underfoot, and three Velux windows above cast light over the space, while a ceiling fan ensures comfort through the warmer months. The adjoining en suite bathroom is pared-back and peaceful – white metro tiles and natural light setting a calming tone. This sense of tranquillity continues into the second bedroom suite, where a bank of blush-toned wardrobes ensures the space is serene yet practical.
