Egerton Gardens

Double-height volumes, minimalist tones and access to highly-sought-after communal gardens. This three-bedroom South Kensington duplex to rent sets the tone for refined city living.

In the heart of South Kensington, moments from the world-renowned Museum Quarter, rows of stately red-brick mansion blocks define the area’s distinguished architectural character. Occupying the lower-ground floors of one such building, this three-bedroom duplex apartment presents an elegant, minimalist backdrop for interior creativity.

A generous double reception room sets an immediate atmosphere of calm. Natural light pours through twin bay windows, highlighting a period fireplace that anchors the space with warmth. Whitewashed walls and pale timber floors reflect the light, creating an uplifting feel.

Beyond, a glass-fronted hallway offers a striking vantage point over the living area below, courtesy of a ceiling void. To one side sits a streamlined kitchen, where white cabinetry and integrated appliances form a clean, architectural composition. To the other, smart wood floors set the scene for a dining area. From this level, enjoy leafy views of the communal gardens – a verdant retreat for residents, especially in summer, when the manicured lawn comes into its own.

Descending to the lower level, a double-height living room unfolds with a voluminous, inviting presence. Floor-to-ceiling glazing welcomes in abundant natural light, while a contemporary fireplace is neatly recessed into the wall. From here, doors open directly onto Egerton Gardens, a cherished neighbourhood enclave punctuated by mature trees and quiet seating spots.

The bedrooms continue the home’s tranquil aesthetic. The principal suite is spacious and considered, a second bedroom suite offers comfort for guests, while a third bedroom provides flexibility – ideal as a study, studio, or dressing room. One additional bathroom completes the layout; throughout all three, marble surfaces envelop indulgent tubs and rainfall showers.
