2 bed flat to rent

Golborne Road, North Kensington W10

Minutes from Trellick Tower, Ern? Goldfinger’s brutalist masterpiece, this home takes a similarly considered approach to design. An inverted layout creates a bright and inviting atmosphere throughout.

In the top-floor reception room and kitchen, an abundance of natural light filters through four skylights in the vaulted ceiling. Neutral tones and restrained interior design courtesy of Golborne 44 produce an uplifting feel. Completely bespoke, the kitchen’s Arabescato rose marble worktops unite a Smeg hob, Abode sink and Studio Ore tap. Smooth micro-cement flooring flows into a comfortable living area filled with modernist design classics, including Charlotte Perriand wall lights and an original 1970s Mario Bellini sofa. When you need to take a breather, a trio of doors lead to an L-shaped roof terrace with cityscape views.

A curving ash wood staircase leads down to two peaceful bedroom suites below. Recalling the aesthetic of the upper floor, the principal bedroom features matte walls and an Arabescato rose marble bedhead, while its en suite is finished with Zellige tiles by Bert & May and The Watermark Collection brassware. The guest bedroom unites form with function – think integrated storage and calming tones and textures, plus a hand-crafted basin and walk-in rainfall shower in the en suite.

Location:
Famed for its antiques dealers, vintage fashion offerings and global food scene, enjoy having the best of the neighbourhood on your doorstep at Golborne Road. Weekends were made for browsing the stalls and refuelling at Layla Bakery or Lisboa. Come evening, book a table at local newcomers Straker’s or Caia, or head to Laylow for live music. The buzz of Portobello Road is also within walking distance, as is fine dining institution The Ledbury.
