2 bed flat to rent

Colville Road, London W11

Beyond its azure front door and classic stucco façade, this Notting Hill home is defined by gallery-white walls, bold electric-blue accents and a refined sense of flow. The entrance – a discreet utility-meets-hallway – conceals a washing machine and tumble dryer behind seamless cabinetry, underscoring the balance of form and function throughout.

From here, a corridor stretches towards the heart of the home – an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room that opens directly onto a private garden. A Statuario Ceramic-topped island subtly separates the John Lewis of Hungerford kitchen from the living area, its sleek lines mirrored by the vivid blue beams that tie the space together. Integrated Fisher & Paykel and Miele appliances along with a Quooker tap, Bora Pure induction hob and wine fridge complete a kitchen built for entertaining.

The adjoining reception area pairs design with comfort: A Cozmo sofa and Knoll Saarinen tulip table with Normann Copenhagen chairs create an understated and relaxed atmosphere. Through Crittall-style doors, the manicured garden beckons – a serene retreat framed by mature trees and vivid blue fencing, offering rare privacy amid Notting Hill’s hustle and bustle.

The sleeping quarters continue the home’s thoughtful palette and textural rhythm. Blue beams guide the way to the principal suite, all crisp walls, reclaimed French shutters and bespoke rattan wardrobes. The en suite, accessed via pocket doors, is wrapped in aqua onyx-effect marble tiles and fitted with underfloor heating, a dual Artelinea basin and a rainfall shower – a space of quiet indulgence. A second door connects it to the rest of the home.

The guest bedroom mirrors this sense of considered luxury. With built-in storage and a large internal window that draws in natural light, it feels open yet intimate. Its stone-clad en suite, finished with gold hardware and an Artelinea vanity, completes the home’s curated blend of function and finesse.
