3 bed flat to rent

Westbourne Gardens, London W2

On a quiet, leafy street moments from Westbourne Grove, this first-floor apartment occupies a white stucco terrace. Spanning two adjoining buildings in an unusual lateral layout, the home has been woven together into one continuous run.

At its heart is an open-plan kitchen and reception room. Four tall sets of French doors welcome daylight inside, while a curved dark wood island anchors the kitchen. Integrated appliances, a Gaggenau wine cooler and Zanussi induction hob sit discreetly behind custom cabinetry, ready for quiet weeknights or culinary affairs. The lounge opposite is gallery-like and relaxed, with doors that open to a wrought-iron balcony. Settle in for a front-row view of the turning seasons, or head to the rear decked terrace to catch the afternoon sun.

Three bedrooms sit tucked away from the main living space, each calm and pared-back. The principal bedroom is fitted with bespoke wardrobes and an en suite family bathroom, plus direct access to a decked terrace. A second bedroom suite lies alongside, while the third – currently dressed as a study – is served by a neighbouring bathroom.

Throughout, the apartment is quietly wired for modern living: Underfloor heating runs beneath every room, a sonos system comes integrated and a smart home panel manages it all.

Location
Nestled between the brunch spots and boutiques of Westbourne Grove and the thrum of Paddington, Westbourne Gardens enjoys an enviable west London location. Pick up freshly baked bagels from 101 West Deli or start the day slowly with brunch at Beam. On Saturdays, peruse the market stalls on Portobello Road, then stroll along the picturesque streets of Little Venice. Head towards Hyde Park for stretches of green, stopping at the newly reimagined Whiteley – home to an Everyman Cinema, Third Space gym and Six Senses Spa. Come evening, choose between local favourites The Cow or Cépage[s] Wine Bistro and be home in a matter of minutes.
