This Notting Hill rental strikes a balance between industrial and organic

London’s Portobello Road is home to one of the world’s most famous antique markets, attracting over 100,000 people every weekend. This light-filled industrial loft is a sanctuary away the crowds, a quiet haven with lofty ceilings, painted brickwork, and huge arched windows.

For rent exclusively as a short let via Domus Nova for £2,500 per week, the two-bedroom Notting Hill  mews is close to all the action but is located down a private gated mews with an on-site porter until 4 pm. (The property also comes with a private covered parking space.)

Its L-shaped interior is 886 sq ft and centres around the double-height reception room, with exposed brick and painted black beams overhead, which jibe with the frames of the large, double-arched windows.

The furniture is modern and organic: acacia dining chairs with woven seats, a plump armchair with a dark walnut frame, and a floating midcentury-style shelving unit in white that heightens the London rental’s soft industrial vibe.

Two bedrooms are located on the upper level of the mews, and here, you get a better view of the steel beams, which feature in both spaces. Like the downstairs, these private spaces are minimalist and white-washed, with timber accents.

Work-from-home needs are covered on the mezzanine, which is accessed by a ladder from the second bedroom. It offers a snug space to work—or perhaps a cosy snug.
