1 bed flat to rent

St Stephens Crescent, Westminster W2

On one of Notting Hill’s most picturesque crescents, this second-floor apartment strikes a balance between character and comfort. Its elevated setting brings exceptional light and far-reaching views over St Stephen’s Church – a rare vantage point in Notting Hill.

The open-plan living space is the heart of the home: Inviting, tactile and full of personality. Heritage features – original wooden floors and an ornate period fireplace – set a timeless tone, while neutral walls keep things calm and contemporary. South-east facing sash windows draw in natural light, framing the architecture of the street below. The kitchen adds a burst of vibrancy: Bright blue cabinetry and a matching splashback make a confident statement, softened by wooden countertops. An island doubles as a breakfast bar – a casual spot to eat or entertain.

Opposite, the bedroom continues the apartment’s considered approach – light, neutral and neatly arranged with floating shelves and fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom takes a more tonal turn, wrapped in beige tiling with a bathtub and overhead shower.

Location
St. Stephens Gardens has a best-of-both-worlds appeal, enjoying the quiet serenity of its residential location, but with fantastic proximity to the rest of Notting Hill. Just a five-minute walk away, Westbourne Grove is lined with celebrated eateries. Caffeinate at Beam, then work up a sweat with a session at Psycle. Brunch at Granger & Co., then grab groceries from Daylesford Organic. For a long weekend stroll, wander down to Kensington Gardens and the sprawling lawns of Hyde Park. Dine at The Ledbury or Dorian, then head to one of Notting Hill’s most coveted pubs, The Cow, for a digestif.
