Light and lateral living converge at this five-bedroom home for rent in family-friendly Brook Green.
This imposing double-fronted villa knows how to make a statement – both inside and out. Spanning two conjoining properties, with two separate portico entrances, Caithness Road’s impressive scale is matched by its bold design. Inside, the property’s traditional Georgian framework is slowly dismantled, as pale wood, minimalist finishes and architectural interventions usher in a decidedly contemporary feel.
Completely reconfigured by Urban Future Org Architects, natural textures and sweeping lateral living spaces unite all four floors. The double reception room is carved into two distinct zones thanks to a partition wall engineered with a contemporary fireplace. Design classics, including Eero Saarinen chairs and coffee tables, compete for attention with a voluminous double-height void that floods the space with light via soaring picture windows.
The lower-ground floor is tailor-made for entertaining. Form meets function in the Italian-crafted Boffi kitchen, with integrated Miele appliances and a row of wood-panelled cupboards that delineates the space. On the other side, find a reclaimed dining table, state-of-the-art Flos Parentesi lighting and an integrated Sonos sound system. From here, access the private garden. One of the largest in West London, it encompasses an array of seating areas, a lawn and a Weber barbecue.
The principal bedroom suite occupies the entire first floor. Crafted with a calming Scandi aesthetic, white walls and wood flooring run from the sleeping area into a dedicated dressing area – complete with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes. There’s an inviting spa-like quality to the bathroom. At its centre, a rectangular freestanding tub bordered by twin vanities and a rainfall shower.
