Foss House is a handsome, purpose-built apartment building on the corner of Carlton Hill and Hamilton Terrace. Wrapped on all sides with beautifully maintained communal gardens and imitatively Georgian in its feel, this is your chance to rent a contemporary two-bedroom apartment inside it.

Upon entry, sweeping wooden floors of dark brown carry you forward and throughout the property, collaborating lovingly with the brick buildings and old trees that stand proudly outside. Boldly, the owners have opted for a monochromatic kitchen—black on white—which feels redemptively functional and workable in comparison to the all-white kitchens that dominate London: easy to clean, plenty of surface space to prepare, and fitted throughout with industry-leading Miele appliances. The south-facing reception dining room is spacious and bright, with two large sash windows and concealed storage. The property further comprises a master bedroom with fitted wardrobes; a second double bedroom/ study; and modern bathroom.
