London, 5 Bedrooms - 262 m² House for rent

Spanning multiple floors, this five-bedroom house on Holland Park Avenue pairs a restrained exterior with playful, characterful interiors by Studio Malaqueen and Caroline Pillot François. Inside, period proportions are reimagined with thoughtful detailing: a light-filled reception room with herringbone floors and French doors opens onto a wisteria-draped balcony, while a navy-toned study offers a cosy retreat.

At its heart, the lower ground floor unfolds as a sociable, open-plan space. A full-width extension brings together kitchen, dining and living areas beneath skylights, with bifold doors framing views of the garden. Shaker cabinetry, a central island and a banquette seating area anchor the kitchen, while outside, a terrace, lawn and cedar-clad studio – currently a gym with sauna – extend the living space.

Upstairs, the principal suite features garden views, a dressing room and an en suite, with three further bedrooms above and an additional guest suite on the lower level.
