2 bedroom apartment to rent

A 1930s apartment provides the framework for this imaginatively renovated home. Stripping it back to its core, architects Feilden Fowles exposed steel columns and structural concrete beams, while reinvigorating the space with contemporary touches.

Palladian symmetry and a considered palette of materials combine to create a sense of calm sophistication. Wrapped in walnut, the entranceway is a warm, welcoming space to enter. Blonde herringbone floors create seamless flow as the space expands into a whitewashed living area with gallery proportions.

Riveted steel columns give texture and a reference to the building’s history while carefully restored sash windows provide triple-aspect fenestration, flooding the space with light. Pared-back cabinetry and an undermount sink create clean lines in the stylish white kitchen, enhancing the sense of serenity. A polished concrete island, illuminated by pendant lights, separates the kitchen and dining area.

Herringbone floors continue into the two bedrooms, one served by an en suite with a freestanding bathtub and the other by a neighbouring shower room. Details such as the sliding bookcase exemplify the compelling design lexicon exhibited in this home.
An industrial space reimagined with a contemporary eye, this apartment is a tranquil city sanctum and the epitome of open-plan living.

To the north of Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, Queens Court puts you at the heart of Bayswater at its most cosmopolitan. Hop between bistros on Queensway and you’ll pass the former site of Whiteleys, London’s first department store, as well as the Turkish baths of Porchester Spa – the city’s oldest of its kind. Elsewhere, Moscow Road is an enclave of Greek culture. Westbourne Grove gives way to Notting Hill. Queensway and Bayswater underground stations are both one minute away.
