Amberley Road

A calming and contemporary two-bedroom duplex apartment for rent, overlooking the Grand Union Canal.

Arranged over two storeys of a private apartment block on the Grand Union Canal, this two-bedroom home is set to soothe. Capitalising on its fifth-floor vantage point, the open-plan kitchen, reception and dining room is a bright and uplifting setting.

Sunlight fills the space through dual-aspect windows, with a neutral tonal palette affording a tranquil atmosphere. At one end of the room, the kitchen pairs glossy worktops with mosaic tiling; at the other, a cosy and inviting living area awaits. From here, full-height glazing slides open to reveal the roof terrace — an unrivalled spot to view the waterway.

Downstairs, the bedrooms have been crafted with natural tones and textures to echo their surroundings. In the principal suite, sand-coloured walls instil a feeling of calm, while floor-to-ceiling rattan wardrobes make for a minimalist storage solution.

The adjoining en suite bathroom is similarly considered, complete with Tadelakt plaster surfaces. The guest bedroom suite – which can also be used as a home office – is served by an en suite shower room, also featuring Tadelakt finishes.
