Horbury Crescent

A light-flooded two-bedroom duplex apartment for rent, set in a Notting Hill period conversion.

Set behind a porticoed porch and elegant stucco façade, this refined duplex apartment sits on one of Notting Hill’s most prestigious crescents – a compelling blend of architectural heritage and contemporary living.

Inside, the open-plan reception and dining area makes a striking first impression. Period features – intricate cornicing and a marble fireplace – provide a sense of gravitas, while modern interventions introduce a feeling of effortlessness and ease. Bookended by generous sash windows and brightened further by a skylight stairwell, natural light flows throughout. A sculptural floating staircase with a glass balustrade creates a dramatic focal point, while a panel of antiqued glass mirrors enhance the sense of space.

To the rear, the kitchen unfolds in a palette of soft pastels and refined textures. Shaker-style cabinetry in green tones pairs with marbled worktops and a sunken butler sink, positioned beneath a sash window that captures leafy views. Integrated appliances are carefully concealed, reinforcing the kitchen’s seamless aesthetic.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite evokes timeless elegance. Hardwood floors and decorative cornicing honour the building’s heritage, while a wall of bespoke wardrobes combines form with functionality. The en suite bathroom is a serene space, with a rainfall shower lined in neutral veined tiles. French doors open from the bedroom onto a private terrace, revealing a tranquil outlook over neighbouring gardens.

A second bedroom suite offers equal comfort and style, complete with its own bathroom featuring a rainfall shower over the bathtub.
