2 bedroom penthouse to rent

Found within a redbrick Art Deco building right in the heart of Queen’s Park, this fourth-floor penthouse epitomises contemporary style. Spacious interiors are complemented by an equally impressive exterior footprint. At almost 10-metres wide, a terrace spans the width of the apartment. It’s accessed from the living space and both bedrooms via bi-folding doors, keeping connections with the outside seamless.

Brilliant white walls and dark wooden floors sit in contrast in the open-plan reception room and kitchen. Bookshelves line two sides of the room, carving up the space into different zones. There’s a large sofa and armchair for relaxing or leafing through a paperback, and a piano to provide the soundtrack.

Glossy handle-less cabinets and integrated appliances ensure a streamlined finish in the kitchen. Enjoy the sightline out to leafy Paddington Old Cemetery beyond as you cook. For an even better view, step onto the glass-fronted terrace. Its east-facing position makes it the perfect sunrise spot – pull up a wicker chair and catch the first light with your morning coffee. With a vantage point over the treetops, revel in the feeling of privacy.

Neutral walls and pastel-toned soft furnishings keep both bedrooms soothing and inviting, with ceramic lamps and upholstered headboards adding warmth. Doors take you from bed directly out to the decked terrace. The principal comes with an en suite complete with a walk-in shower. There’s also a separate family bathroom illuminated by a skylight.

Location:
A hub for creatives and families, Queen’s Park has a welcoming sense of community. Salusbury Road sits at the heart of the neighbourhood, awash with much-loved independent haunts. Join the locals for morning coffee at Dark Habit and browse the page turners at Queens Park Books before picking up lunch at Michiko Sushino or refreshments from The Salusbury Winestore. The eponymous Queen’s Park is on your doorstep, with tennis courts and a petting zoo. On Sunday mornings, head to the farmer’s market.
