1 bed flat to rent

11 Holland Park Avenue, London W11

Found on the fifth floor of a well-presented apartment block, a bright, south-facing outlook provides a welcoming backdrop here. Radiating warmth, the open-plan living space wraps around like a horseshoe, flowing between various communal areas – from a study corner to a seating nook – all illuminated by an abundance of light. As the natural focal point of the room, an oversized bay window slides back to a Juliet balcony that introduces an inside-out feel.

Amplifying the sense of brightness further, white walls and parquet floors also bring a classic grounding and continuity to the interiors. Tucked neatly to one side, the glossy black kitchen looks and acts the part, with integrated appliances ensuring a streamlined finish.

The bedroom continues the pared-back tone, with integrated wardrobes to maximise the space available. Floor-to-ceiling tiling creates a uniform appearance in the bathroom, complete with a large walk-in shower.

Crowning the apartment, a communal roof terrace with panoramic views over the rooftops offers additional space to unwind.

Location
Along the vibrant artery that connections Notting Hill and Holland Park, independent businesses are plentiful: Source groceries from Supermarket of Dreams, or head to semi-pedestrianised Clarendon Cross for local favourites Melt Chocolates and Buns from Home. Stroll around the eponymous Holland Park, then catch an exhibition at the Design Museum. Further north, the antique stalls of Portobello Road await each weekend. Come evening, the neighbourhood is replete with fine dining spots, from Akub and Juno Omakase to Casa Cruz.
