5 bedroom semi-detached house to rent

With its immaculate portico façade and cast-iron railings, Elgin Crescent embodies Notting Hill’s handsome architectural heritage. A sense of grandeur continues inside this four-bedroom home, spanning four spacious storeys.

Off the entrance hallway, a large double reception room makes an immediate impression. Dual-aspect bay windows bookend the space, inviting ample natural light inside. Twin ceiling roses, marble fireplaces and ornate cornicing have been carefully conserved, creating a striking backdrop.

A carpeted staircase transitions to chequered floor tiles as you reach the lower-ground floor. Here, the kitchen and breakfast room are a contemporary affair, with glossy black worktops and white cabinetry. Next door, the formal dining room sets a sophisticated scene with a fireplace and French doors that open wide onto the private courtyard garden – a peaceful spot for summertime entertaining. Also on this floor, an additional living space would make an ideal study or snug, with doors out to the garden.

There’s a peaceful feel to the principal bedroom suite, accentuated by neutral tones and fitted wardrobes. Calmness ensues in the en suite bathroom, complete with mosaic tiling and a bronzed mirror wall. Three additional bedrooms are spread across the first and second floors served by a trio of bathrooms and a convenient walk-in closet.
