Chesterton Road

A masterclass in materiality, this reimagined one-bedroom apartment for rent comes complemented by a sun-soaked roof terrace.

Conceived by creative masterminds Valerie and Felix von Bechtolsheim, this inspired North Kensington home vaunts design that distinguishes it from its conventional counterparts. Beyond its traditional façade, find a soaring butterfly-vaulted ceiling, steel beam girder, and an authentic log burner.

In a generous open-plan living area and kitchen, pristine parquet floors are bathed in natural light from sash windows and skylights. Positioned to the side of a sleek white kitchen, integrated banquette seating adds a welcoming touch to the dining area. Above, a cosy mezzanine level serves as a snug living area or an additional alcove to sleep in.

Beyond, organic textures and tranquil hues afford a calming ambiance to the principal bedroom suite. Echoing the living space, an exposed brick wall serves as a backdrop to the double bed. Serving this room, an en suite bathroom comes with a marble-clad rainfall shower.

From here, descend stairs to discover a spacious decked roof terrace. Complete with a vintage outdoor shower, it’s an idyllic spot to spend summer days.
