Donne Place

A four-bedroom townhouse for rent in South Kensington, where period features pair with original artwork and a serene atmosphere.

Tucked on a peaceful cul-de-sac just moments from the pulse of South Kensington, Donne Place feels quietly removed from the city around it. Behind a pale green façade with traditional shutters and three terraces, interiors by Kube unfold with a sense of calm and thoughtful restraint.

Glass doors open directly into the reception room, where natural light brightens a series of heritage details. A fireplace defines the more formal seating area, while a softer, more intimate setting to the rear lends itself to slower evenings in. From here, a door extends out to an L-shaped terrace wrapping around the ground floor, blurring the line between inside and out.

Framed by an arched doorway, the kitchen and dining room have been designed with entertaining in mind. Warm neutral tones soften the dining area, while sleek deep-grey cabinetry brings a contemporary edge to the kitchen, with double doors opening onto the terrace.

Upstairs, the bedrooms continue the home’s understated palette. The principal suite is anchored by a marble fireplace and bespoke wooden headboard, with built-in storage adding practicality. In the adjoining bathroom, pale blue tiles, a rainfall shower-over-bath and generous natural light create a calm, restorative feel. Also on this floor, a second bedroom with access to a private roof terrace sits alongside a family shower room.

The upper level adds two further light-filled bedrooms, and a suntrap roof terrace that extends the living space outdoors once again. Complete with lighting, seating and a patio heater, it’s a space designed for long evenings.
