Stafford Terrace

Exuding tranquillity inside and out, this three-bedroom Kensington home for rent pairs calming tones and Victorian character.

Set between the leafy lawns of Holland Park and lively Kensington High Street, this lateral apartment is positioned to enjoy the best of both worlds. Arranged across the first floor, interiors here are as characterful as its pristine stucco façade suggests.

Through an airy entrance hall, soaring 3.4 metre-high ceilings pair with detailed architrave to form a regal social setting. To one side of the room, an ornate fireplace serves as an elegant centrepiece for the lounge. Soft light filters through a tall sash window, casting calming rays across cool cream carpet and two linen sofas. To the other side, the kitchen and dining area’s understated palette allows period features to shine through.

Light wooden flooring subtly distinguishes the kitchen, fashioned from sleek cabinetry and marble countertops. An intricate chandelier crowns the dining space opposite, backdropped by a grand bay window with built-in seating.

Calming hues extend into the principal bedroom suite, where pared-back design produces a haven for relaxation. A continuation of the home’s exceptional attention to detail, integrated wardrobes and floating bedside tables complete the room’s refined feel. From here, ascend steps to an indulgent en suite bathroom, fitted with a rainfall shower and free-standing roll-top bathtub.

Sat opposite, a guest bedroom wears soft sandy tones and benefits from a large bay window, while a final third bedroom is an ideal space for rest or study. Both bedrooms are served by a sleek spot-lit shower room.
