Sunderland Terrace

Moments from Westbourne Grove, this three-bedroom duplex apartment for rent is bound by neutral tones and minimalist design.

Sunderland Terrace, lined with leafy trees, cast-iron balustrades and soaring Georgian townhouses, is one of Notting Hill’s most handsome streets. Spread across the second and third floors of this historic building is a calming three-bedroom apartment drawn with neutral tones and natural materials.

Introduced with pale wood floors, the home opens into a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room. There’s an uplifting atmosphere to the whitewashed setting, with reams of natural light that pour in through dual-aspect fenestration. Two tuxedo sofas are arranged for conversation, a circular marble table is complemented with mid century-style dining chairs and open shelving showcases statement pieces of art. An exposed timber beam brings textural charm and works to delineate the kitchen beyond. Smooth worktops, handless cabinetry and integrated appliances make for a sleek and streamlined culinary environment.

Upstairs, three bedrooms continue the restful ambiance. With its gently sloping butterfly roof, wall-to-wall storage and pared-back colour scheme, the principal bedroom is a tranquil scene. Next door, an en suite bathroom is a modern affair, with its clean lines, minimalist sink and inviting walk-in shower. Two guest bedrooms – one of which is currently configured as a nursery – are served by a shower room on the half landing. During London’s warmer months, head out to the suntrap terrace which overlooks the neighbouring roofscape.
