3 bed flat to rent

Talbot Road, Notting Hill, Westminster W2

Along Talbot Road, rows of stock-brick, portico-fronted façades speak of the area’s esteemed period heritage. Spread across three floors of one of these townhouses, this three-bedroom apartment breathes contemporary calm into its heritage framework. Bound by reams of sunlight, a pared-back palette and sculptural architecture set a tranquil scene for modern Notting Hill living.

The home opens into a spacious kitchen and dining room, with natural light beaming through dual-aspect fenestration. Glossy stone floors run underfoot, while a wall of curved cabinetry and whitewashed worktops adds a sense of rhythm to the space. A bold staircase runs to one side, leading to a second living area.

Upstairs, the reception room maintains the minimalist interior scheme. Large sash windows illuminate the pale walls and floors, which lead to an area with integrated shelving. French doors open onto a private balcony; a south-facing suntrap that overlooks the streetscape below.

The lower-ground floor contains three bedrooms – all finished with restrained colours and materials. The principal bedroom is a serene affair, with an en suite bathroom that contains a built-in bathtub. Two guest bedrooms are versatile spaces that can be reimagined for work, storage or exercise, and both lead onto a private patio garden.
