Flat to rent in Linden Gardens, Bayswater, Westminster W2

Soaring ceilings, ornate cornicing and polished French Versailles parquet floors lend a sense of grandeur to this two-bedroom apartment in a leafy enclave of Notting Hill. A large open-plan living space greets you as you enter – the sitting area considerately zoned at one end between the alabaster fire mantel and large shuttered sash window. Floor-to-ceiling fitted bookcases make the most of the room’s generous proportions. A dining nook bookends the kitchen, with a fitted bench lit by antique ormolu chandeliers. The kitchen anchors the other end of the room, centred around a broad Carrara marble-topped island and with another large, shuttered sash window flooding light into the space. Finished with ink-blue cabinetry and brass details, the space comes equipped with a dual fridge and wine cooler. To the rear of the apartment, the two double-bedrooms. A generous master, roomy enough to house a four-poster bed, benefits from a good portion of fitted storage and another large, shuttered sash window. Both rooms are serviced by a generous family-sized bathroom, a separate shower room and addition WC.

A stone’s throw away from the heart of Notting Hill, Linden Gardens is a quiet enclave with the vibrant city on its doorstep. Take your pick from a whole host of walkable restaurants and bars for impromptu dining out: Brunch at Granger & Co, dinner and drinks at Gold. Treasure hunt at Portobello at golden hour. A morning’s walk to the Serpentine will offer welcome respite from the throng of Notting Hill or incorporate Kensington Gardens into your morning run routine – just a 5-minute walk away. Notting Hill gate (3 mins) Queensway (8 mins).<br /><br />
