Egerton Gardens

From behind a traditional red brick façade in the heart of South Kensington, pristine interiors blend with period architecture at this two-bedroom apartment for rent.

Moments from one of the area’s liveliest streets this second-floor apartment feels calm and expansive. Defining features preserve the home’s period heritage, from oak floors to cornicing-trimmed ceilings and soaring windows.

The open-plan reception and dining room is a showcase of light: a run of sash windows and French doors opens onto two private balconies overlooking leafy surroundings. Ornate fireplaces sit at either end of the space, anchoring a room destined for entertaining, while cast-iron radiators and intricate cornicing reveal a sense of craftmanship. Double doors draw the eye through to the kitchen, where integrated appliances and streamlined, handleless cabinetry create a contemporary scene. A sash window ensures the room remains bright throughout the day, and a discreet door offers direct access to the lift.

A second doorway from the reception leads to the sleeping quarters. The principal suite occupies the quiet rear of the apartment, complete with built-in wardrobes, a large cast-iron radiator and an elegant bathroom featuring a tiled bath, separate shower and twin basins. The guest bedroom suite mirrors the home’s understated feel, enjoying its own bathroom and tranquil views across the gardens.
