This is a very terrific, spacious, warm and interesting house.  It is a 4-story period house in a very sought-after residential area in smart, posh Kensington.  When we visited, the enormous wisteria was blooming and the heavenly fragrance permiated the entire block.
Large House Rental in London
London Large House Rental Entry Hall Walk through a little front garden and open the door to a vestibule and then through a glass door into the front hall.  The drawing room is on the right of the hall.  It is furnished with two comfortable sofas covered in white cotton, two easy chairs covered in yellow fabric, a decorative fireplace, a large bay window that looks onto the front garden.  This is all excellent, but what really caught our interest were the many framed antique prints that cover all of the walls.  We wanted to stay for hours examining those beautiful prints.

The back part of the drawing room has a baby grand piano, another decorative fireplace, a chest of drawers and several chairs.  And more of those interesting prints.  A French door opens to a small, private patio.

Return to the front hall and go down to a half-landing where there is a small book-lined study with a large, modern desk.  A window  looks to the back garden.  More framed prints hang on the walls.

Go on down the stairs to the kitchen and dining room – where these rooms always were in the old houses.  What a surprise! The enormous dining room, at the front of the house, is furnished in rich contemporary style.  The long table seats 8 on red velvet chairs.  A book-filled bookcse is on either site of a gas heating stove.  A beautiful rug covers a tile floor.  This extraordinary room is beautiful, colorful and bright.  Prints and original art cover the walls.  Large bay windows and a French door open to a plant-filled staircase that goes up to the front garden.

The big hallway bathroom has a blue claw foot tub with a hand-held shower and there is a a shower over the tub.

Hall Bathroom
A roof terrace, up another level, has a table and chairs and wonderful views over London.  It's like something from a movie.  (Our photograph didn't capture the view so the owners gave us this photo which they took on a snowy day last winter.  It's quite a contrast with the springtime photo that we took of  the front of the house!)

This superb house is on a beautiful street that is conveniently located for the many shops, restaurants and attractions of Kensington High Street and Holland Park.
