Onslow Gardens

Layered contemporary design energises this two-bedroom duplex for rent.

Modern yet mindful. This is the reigning aesthetic at Onslow Gardens, a duplex that updates its classic South Kensington framework. Behind the white columns and symmetry: grand proportions and period details provide the structure; colour and curated moments bring the character.

Social spaces unfold across the lower level, where grand proportions set the scene for slow mornings to evenings hosting and everything in between. The main living space makes an impact on entrance: tall sash windows line the elevation and lift an already impressive scale. This is a setting for all occasions – sinking back in the lounge, working at the built-in bar or stepping out to the south-west facing terrace. A staircase draws you down to the lower level, where the kitchen is practical and composed, with clean-lined cabinetry, generous worktops and skylights overhead. The dining area sits above, with French doors that open out to a peaceful patio garden.

The bedrooms are set on the second level, lending the duplex a natural sense of separation. Both rooms are peaceful and well-sized, with thoughtful storage and soft finishes, while the principal suite enjoys the addition of a walk-in wardrobe. En suite bathrooms serve both bedrooms.
