4 bed terraced house to rent

Hereford Road, Bayswater, Westminster W2

This four-bedroom townhouse puts a contemporary twist on its handsome period framework. Step inside a dual-aspect open-plan kitchen and dining room, where Carrara marble surfaces and stainless-steel finishes make for a stylish culinary environment. A muted sage leather bench and a wooden dining table is a relaxed place to eat. From here, head down steps to a cosy sky-lit living space with an inviting L-shaped sofa. Through double French doors, a terrace is complete with a canopy and cast-iron railings which lead to the garden below. Part patio, part lawn, its envisaged for alfresco entertaining with an enviable south-west facing position.

The first floor houses a formal double reception room, with uplifting light emanating through dual-aspect sash windows. Period accents – an ornate fireplace, decorative cornicing and wainscoting – are a backdrop for minimalist furniture; the neutral palette and exposed wood floors are thoroughly soothing. Through an archway, a grand piano sits opposite a wall of white-framed mirrors – amplifying the sense of space and light.

The master bedroom suite unfurls across the second floor. Its stone-coloured tones, sweeping wood floors and wall of floor-to-ceiling wardrobes afford the space a tranquil feel. Next door, the ensuite bathroom is a showpiece of considered design featuring a clean-line double vanity, free-standing bath and reams of natural light. Two further bedrooms and a family bathroom are located on the third floor, whilst a third bedroom and music room can be found on the basement level.
