3 bed flat to rent

Hill Road, London NW8

Across the first and second floors of this four-bedroom Maida Vale duplex, there’s a minimalist, material-led interior scheme that sets a calming atmosphere. Outside, the white archway, verdant trees and smart stock brick façade set a refined tone – which is effortlessly continued inside.

A glass and wood framed staircase leads up to the home, opening into a light-flooded living and dining area. Clean lines make up the fireplace, cubic shelving and large sash windows – which are softened by textural furnishings, velvet upholstery and carpet underfoot. An archway leads to the adjoining kitchen, complete with pale wood cabinetry and smooth worktops. Above the sink, leafy views cast a tranquility throughout the space.

In the second-floor principal bedroom suite, exposed wood floors, woven rugs and exposed shelving create a laid back, welcoming atmosphere – bound by reams of natural light. Head through to the en suite bathroom; there’s a coolness to the muted blue metro tiling that wraps around the space.

Also on this level, a guest bedroom balances heritage and modernity – pairing a decorative fireplace with sculptural lighting and crafted wooden storage. It connects directly to the family bathroom, where a generous freestanding bath is a sculptural centrepiece.

On the first floor, the twin bedroom is finished with fern-green upholstered beds, softly gilded details and a capacious pale wood wardrobe. A fourth bedroom offers flexible use: Currently imagined as an additional living space and study, complete with a dusty-pink sofa and marble-topped table
