3 bed flat to rent

Park Close, Ilchester Place, London W14

Perched high above Kensington’s elegant streets, this three-bedroom apartment commands sweeping views across Holland Park and beyond. Flooded with natural light, its sixth-floor vantage point transforms every room into a calming city sanctum.

From the entrance lobby, take the lift to the home’s front door – which opens into the kitchen, dining and reception room. Pale wood floors and whitewashed walls form a quietly sophisticated backdrop, allowing light to pool and shift throughout the open-plan living space.

An island in polished black marble anchors the kitchen and doubles as a breakfast bar, while a trio of silver pendant lights hang overhead. The handleless cabinetry and hi-tech appliances balance clean-lined minimalism with functional precision. Next to it, the dining area offers a hit of colour: Deep blue velvet chairs gathered around a circular table, set beneath a striking cluster chandelier.

Beyond, the living area unfolds with understated elegance. A soft grey L-shaped sofa faces a minimalist media wall, while sheer gauze curtains filter the daylight. Through full-height glazing, the space extends seamlessly to a private balcony – the perfect vantage point to take in Kensington’s rooftops and the verdant expanse of Holland Park.

The principal bedroom suite maintains this sense of tranquility, with pale walls and floors gently lit through a sash window. Rows of whitewashed cupboards offer a neat storage solution, while the en suite bathroom lies through a doorway – with a rainfall shower and dual vanity backdropped by vast marble tiling. Two guest bedrooms offer versatility for sleeping, home working or additional dressing spaces, both served by an additional guest bathroom.

Location
Tucked away in a cluster of residential streets that border Holland Park, Park Close has a serene feel. Yet some of West London’s most coveted spots are just moments away, from the independent grocers along Holland Park Avenue, to the beloved retail and cafe offerings of High Street Kensington. Venture north to reach Notting Hill and its famed antiques market, or south for world-class exhibitions at the V&A, Natural History and Science museums. Dining options are plentiful here, from Six Portland Road for modern European cuisine, or The Belvedere for a taste of Tuscany.
