4 bed terraced house to rent

Keslake Road, Queen's Park, London NW6

With its sculptural pediments, bay windows and stock brickwork, the façade of this four-bedroom home sings in harmony with the rest of Keslake Road. Beyond the front door however, a masterpiece of material creativity tells a different tale. Three spacious storeys are composed with innovative, tactile design and an abundance of natural light.

From the entrance hallway, a set of steps leads down into the reception room; its sunken aspect lends a capacious feel to the space. There’s an organic look to the brushed plaster walls and stone floors, which are softly illuminated through a bay window. The built-in sofa is as inviting as it is stylish, crafted with a wood base and green upholstery. Above, a contemporary chandelier captures attention, while vintage wall lighting casts a warm glow as night draws in.

Reclaimed wooden doors open into the kitchen and dining room beyond - an inspiring setting drawn with a bold palette of colours and materials. Inky-toned ceiling beams and cabinetry contrast with the natural floors and walls, while sunlight pours through two skylights and a wall of rear glazing. A kitchen island sits at the centre of the space, with a smooth graphite-coloured worktop and gilded panelling below, complemented by six metallic breakfast stools. With a large dining table, built-in bar and dj station, hosting and entertaining is streamlined here.

Beyond the eating area, find a cosy lounge with plush seating. There’s synergy between the indoors and outdoors through the wall of bi-folding glass; when the weather is sunny, leave the Crittall-style panels open for a sense of flow. The private garden is beautifully manicured, with a lawn bordered by wooden seating and painted fencing.

Things take a minimalist turn in the bedrooms upstairs. The principal bedroom suite has an uplifting feel with natural light that filters through a bay window. The pale walls, timber floors and full-height wardrobes set a refined tone, lending attention to the sculptural lighting and reclaimed chest of drawers. Next door, the en suite bathroom gleams with whitewashed metro tiling in the walk-in rainfall shower.

Three additional sleeping spaces are spread across the first and second floors. One of the double bedrooms features integrated storage, a dressing table and modern pendant lighting - plus a south-facing balcony overlooking the garden. A staircase with exposed brickwork leads up to the second double bedroom suite, which is brightly lit through a trio of sash windows. On the first floor, a calming study also contains a single bed. Completing the property is a spacious family bathroom, with an inviting bathtub and black-framed shower.
