6 bed terraced house to rent

Barrowgate Road, London W4

On a leafy residential street in Chiswick, this three-storey home by architect Abraham Sandoval balances expressive contemporary design with considered family-orientated features – from off-street parking to generous living spaces and a versatile garden annex and gym.

The ground floor is defined by a sweeping open-plan configuration, where polished Italian ceramic flooring and a muted colour palette channel light through to the heart of the home. The Leicht kitchen combines functionality with finesse. Matte taupe cabinetry and gold hardware, are offset by Ice Black Compac quartz worktops and a clean-lined white glass splashback. Gaggenau appliances are seamlessly integrated, while overhead, ornate chandeliers lend a touch of opulence. A bespoke window seat below the front-facing window offers an inviting spot for a morning coffee.

A set of sliding glass doors lead into the living room – a bright space animated by twin skylights, and a wall lined with bespoke shelving and cabinetry. Adjacent, Fineline sliding doors blur the boundary between inside and out, opening onto an immaculate patio. At the opposite end of this open-plan expanse, a dining area can comfortably accommodate eight. A dark marble fireplace creates a focal point, with herringbone flooring and dual-aspect glazing adding to the sense of proportion.

The home’s private garden is equally refined. Timber fencing provides privacy, while the rak-tiled terrace and salmon-hued flowerbeds bring softness and structure. A stepping-stone path leads to a striking wood-clad outbuilding – part wellness hideaway, part living space. One half houses a fully equipped gym and sauna; the other features a bespoke kitchen and guest bedroom, making it ideal for visitors or remote working.

Back inside, the upper floors are devoted to rest and rejuvenation. The principal suite is a serene sanctuary, complete with sliding glass doors that open onto garden views and invite natural light to flood the space. A dressing room features full-height mirrors and abundant storage, while the adjoining en suite blends indulgence with sophistication: Think Crosswater brassware, dark-veined floor tiles and a freestanding bathtub poised in a bay window.

Two further guest suites occupy the first floor, each with its own bathroom and distinct character – one enjoys garden-facing French doors. A sky-lit staircase ascends to the top floor, where two additional bedrooms are bathed in light, their cast-iron radiators and minimalist aesthetic evoking quiet charm. A family bathroom serves this level, finished with rak ceramic tiles and a freestanding bathtub.
