Villa Rental In Hyde Park

Description

Jack-in-the-box



To stay in or to step out? At London Home 495, we can’t decide which. Bright and contemporary, this is a home that joyously overflows – there are no less than three private terraces (a tempting patio, picture-book balcony, and plentiful roof terrace) – and in the summer months you can opt to shower outside in your own private courtyard. When it’s time to close the Venetian shutters, turn instead to the radiant walls, the glowing artwork or the cast-iron Victorian staircases that spiral from floor to floor. Right across the road from Hyde Park, and with all of Oxford Street, Kensington Gardens and Notting Hill to explore, you won’t have to keep your happiness contained, either.

Another door opens







Step inside, and don’t be downcast at leaving London behind – you’ll see it again. Whether on the patio, the roof terrace or the flourishing balcony, this home can’t help but mix the world outside with that within. But before you sit back to enjoy a spot of coffee, be sure to explore. The interiors are dreamily modern, from the whisper-quiet bedrooms to the wondrously white sitting room, while the spiral staircases thrill with every step. So find a favourite corner and cosy up, or flow free. Yes, with the city waiting outside, we don’t think you’ll stay locked away for long.
