2 bed terraced house to rent

Campden Hill Gardens, London W8

Set on the outskirts of Hillgate Village, Campden Hill Gardens is a quiet cul-de-sac with a village-like stillness. Beyond the classic exterior of this four-storey townhouse, a quietly confident take on modern living plays out.

The home opens on the raised ground level, where a bright reception room draws in light through a wide sash window. It’s an elegant backdrop that lets the proportions speak for themselves: High ceilings, white walls and light wooden floors. Delicate cornicing offers a subtle nod to the building’s heritage, while modern updates keep the space decidedly contemporary.

Upstairs, the heart of the home unfolds. An open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room is arranged beneath a mezzanine, its soaring ceiling height creating a sense of lift and lightness. An intuitively designed kitchen runs sleekly along one wall, with handleless cabinetry, integrated Miele appliances and a wine cooler. Opposite, a dining area sits comfortably, while the living space is anchored by a dramatic full-height wall of bespoke shelving, its open grid drawing the eye up to the mezzanine above. Here, a floating staircase leads to a quiet study space – a mezzanine suspended in light. Accessed from the ground floor landing, a south-facing terrace is a private, sun-trap setting to entertain.

Each bedroom has a floor to itself, lending a welcome sense of space and privacy. The principal suite is found on the lower ground floor, unexpectedly bright courtesy of a lightwell. Built-in wardrobes line the walls, while a walk-through dressing area leads to an en suite bathroom with a freestanding tub, rainfall shower and minimalist styling. A private entrance through the lightwell makes this room feel almost self-contained – ideal for guests or independent family members. Below, the guest bedroom mirrors the same sense of calm and space and features an en suite bathroom with both a bathtub and shower.
