Flat to rent in Upper Addison Gardens, London W14

With its well-maintained heritage properties and rows of mature trees, Upper Addison Gardens exemplifies all the sophistication of its Holland Park postcode. Spread across the second and third floors of a stock-brick townhouse is this three-bedroom apartment, crafted with a fine-tuned palette of contemporary materials and sleek design details.

Making a stylish first impression, a staircase with a blush-red bannister and pale sage panelling leads up to the home’s social heart — an open-plan kitchen, reception and dining room. Situated on the upper level, it capitalises on the high vantage point and natural light that pours through dual-aspect fenestration. The spacious footprint can be neatly delineated; an open archway crafted with whitewashed vertical beams is a striking feature that creates zoned dining and living areas. The culinary setting is eye-catching with a wood-wrapped central island, immaculate cabinetry and a range oven. From here, a pair of French windows open onto a sunny stretch of balcony.

Downstairs, the modern aesthetic character ensues in the bedrooms. The principal suite has a tranquil atmosphere, with pared-back colours and a row of fitted wardrobes. Its adjoining shower room is a sleek affair, with marble surfaces and gilded hardware. Both of the guest bedrooms feature full-height storage and jet-black period fireplaces, served by an additional bathroom.

Location
