Wheatstone Gardens

In a sleek North Kensington development, this two-bedroom apartment for rent enjoys a wraparound balcony and far-reaching views across the London skyline.

Wheatstone Gardens is a contemporary new development in North Kensington, its warm brick façade defined by clean lines, deep-set windows and private balconies. Set on the sixth floor, this two-bedroom apartment has a spacious footprint and far-reaching views over the surrounding roofscape and beyond.

The kitchen, dining and living room is the heart of the apartment — a generous, light-filled space with dark wood flooring running throughout. At one end, a run of concrete-effect cabinetry in pale grey sits beneath a dark composite worktop; handleless throughout, with integrated appliances including a double oven tower and induction hob.

Wide floor-to-ceiling glazed doors open the full width of the living space onto the wraparound south-facing balcony, which follows the building’s corner to offer views in two directions — west across the rooftops of North Kensington, and south toward Trellick Tower, Ernő Goldfinger’s Grade I-listed Brutalist landmark. During the warmer months, make use of the residents’ communal gardens.

Both bedrooms are finished in grey carpet against white walls, each with a fitted sliding wardrobe with mirrored and frosted glass panels. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en suite bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower and dark wood cabinetry; the second bedroom is served by a separate bathroom with a soothing tub.

*The council tax for the property is currently unbanded.
