2 Bed Terraced House To Rent

Tucked above a characterful square, home to cafés and considered boutiques, this peaceful maisonette is a gentle counter to the urban energy of its setting. Accessed from a private entrance, steps ascend to the first floor. All about light and flow, the reception room is anchored by herringbone floors and a cast-iron fireplace. Navy furnishings and neutral tones soften the feel, while artwork nods to pastoral landscapes.

The kitchen takes a similar aesthetic approach, with shaker cabinetry and stainless steel counters grounded by a Miele oven. A curved banquette in deep brown leather hugs the corner, centred on an oval dining table that invites sociable meals. Overhead, floating storage keeps everyday essentials within reach.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom dials up the serenity with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, an integrated vanity and soft beige walls. The second bedroom opts for restraint – a minimal backdrop given character by a wide west-facing sash window. A contemporary family bathroom ties the two together.

Crowning it all, a decked roof terrace serves up uninterrupted rooftop views. Just inside, a glass-walled study makes clever use of space – a compact, light-filled nook that turns the top floor into a versatile escape or workplace.
