Flat to rent in Talbot Road, Bayswater W2

Talbot Road bears all the hallmarks of its esteemed Notting Hill postcode; stucco-fronted heritage townhouses with decorative cast-iron railings line the leafy street. Behind its handsome period façade, this three-bedroom duplex apartment takes design cues from its peaceful neighbourhood.

Optimising its third-floor positioning, an open-plan kitchen and reception room is bathed in sunlight through a multitude of Velux windows and concertina glass doors. Blonde wood floors and pale walls are accented with blue furnishings across the sofa and dining areas – it’s a thoroughly tranquil living space. There’s streamlined flow around the kitchen island, complete with breakfast stools. Its smooth whitewashed worktops and sleek integrated appliances balance form with function. Nestled beneath a vaulted ceiling, the reading nook nods to mid-century modern furniture design with an Eames chair and wooden sideboard. From this floor, head out to the west-facing roof terrace with far-reaching views across the neighbouring roofscape.

Downstairs, three bedrooms are all natural light and hushed tones. Minimalism is the order of the day in the master bedroom suite, maintained by the spacious walk-in dressing room. Its en suite bathroom is a masterpiece of Carrara marble, with a sculptural freestanding bath backdropped by a wall of mosaic tiling. Two additional bedrooms are served by an en suite and family bathroom respectively.

Location:
A peaceful street with the thrum of Portobello Road and Westbourne Grove on your doorstep, Talbot Road is set for quintessential Notting Hill living. Sunday in Brooklyn or Beam are local brunch favourites. Pick up fresh fruit and vegetables from Ben’s and Daylesford Organic Farm Shop, before refreshing your wardrobe at Sézane, Reformation or Sandro. Coveted pubs such as The Pelican and The Oak are a stone’s throw away for evening drinks with friends and family.
