3 bed flat to rent

Inverness Terrace, London W2

There’s an immediate sense of ease to this first-floor apartment in Bayswater. Set opposite the reimagined Whiteley building – soon home to destination dining, boutique shopping and world-class amenities – its lateral layout creates a natural flow between spaces while preserving a reassuring sense of privacy.

Airy and composed, the reception room paints a welcoming picture with warm wooden flooring and intricate cornicing. To one side, open shelving frames a log burner; to the other, a dedicated dining area opens onto a balcony overlooking the Whiteley’s landmark façade. A contemporary kitchen continues the clear and calm aesthetic: Glossy white cabinetry and Miele appliances meet a glass-topped breakfast table, while an adjoining utility room discreetly manages the practicalities. From here, step out onto a generous private terrace. Bordered by planters and grounded in greenery, it’s a rare city retreat to bask in the summer rays or host in warmer seasons.

The principal bedroom echoes the soothing palette, complete with extensive storage, a dedicated dressing room and direct access to the balcony. In the monochrome en suite, find a large soaking tub. Two further bedrooms share the same understated elegance: Both with integrated storage, one served by its own en suite shower room.

Location
Set just a stroll away from Hyde Park, green space galore awaits at Inver Court. Jog around the lake, stroll through the Italian Gardens or – if you’re feeling brave – take a dip in the Serpentine Lido. The bars and restaurants of Queensway and Paddington Basin are in easy reach, together with Westbourne Grove and The Whiteley – the soon to be completed lifestyle destination that will house a Six Senses Spa. Hop on the tube to Bond Street and Marylebone for art hunting or evenings at Home House members’ club. In the other direction, spend the weekends perusing vintage treasures and antiques at Portobello Road Market.
