Wimpole Street

Moments from Marylebone High Street, this two-bedroom apartment for rent pairs fourth-floor calm with a generous balcony.

Set on the top floor of a handsome period townhouse, this two-bedroom apartment rises above Wimpole Street with a welcome sense of quiet. From here, Marylebone’s independent shops, restaurants and cafés are moments away, with Regent’s Park, cultural institutions and the West End all within easy reach.

Inside, the smartness of the façade gives way to interiors that feel composed and contemporary. Natural light is a constant presence, drawn through sash windows and French doors that open the living space onto a broad, curved balcony – a generous extension of footprint, with room for outdoor dining and far-reaching views across the rooftops.

The open-plan kitchen, reception and dining room has been carefully arranged for everyday ease. Parquet flooring runs underfoot, while bespoke joinery and streamlined cabinetry bring a sense of order to the room. Tucked neatly into one corner and lit from above by a skylight, the kitchen is highly functional, with integrated appliances, Corian worktops and open cubby shelving for crockery. A circular dining table anchors the centre of the space; beyond it, a sofa and armchair create a relaxed seating area beside the double French doors.

The principal bedroom is bright and well proportioned, with dual sash windows and two sets of built-in wardrobes. The second bedroom is equally versatile, currently arranged as a quiet study with an integrated desk and storage. Both bedrooms face east, catching the morning light.

The bathroom continues the considered approach, with geometric tiles in a spectrum of neutral tones lending subtle character. A separate bathtub and large walk-in shower make the room as practical as it is polished.
