The townhouse the singer calls home comes complete with a gym, stunning landscape garden, underfloor heating and plenty of off-street parking.
A source close to the star told MailOnline: 'The house has everything Rihanna needs. It has seven bedrooms for her team. It's in a very exclusive area with some very wealthy neighbours so she can come and go as she pleases and nobody really takes any notice.
'She's been there for a year, but has enjoyed living there so much it looks like she'll be there for longer,' they added.
Rihanna - who is dating Saudi billionaire Hassan Jameel - said in a recent interview that she is loving living in London with the anonymity that living in a big city brings - and had been 'keeping a little incognito'.
She told the New York Times: 'I enjoy walking around the block. When I go walking, I try to keep a little incognito.'
The singer – who is worth an estimated $260 million – has revealed she has learned to enjoy the simply things in life, such as satisfying her cravings for Caribbean food.
The singer has been posting subtle clues about her new home on Instagram over the past few weeks like this clip of her with friends larking around making ice cream desserts in the distinctive kitchen with white marble work surfaces and a steel sink
Eagle eye fans spotted the distinctive white marble work surfaces and stainless steel sink, helping them identify the property in North London Rihanna has been renting for the past year at a cost of £16,000-a-week
When Rihanna announced she has been living in the UK, fans said they suspected as much after seeing a clip she put on Instagram featuring a Sainsbury's 'bag for life'

The star gave fans another glimpse inside her London home last week with this clip of her applying make-up to that famous face whilst sat on a silver chair with a distinctive pattern
'The world can really make you believe that the wrong things are priority and it makes you really miss the core of life, what it means to be alive. Like going to the grocery store – you know, there's a cute little Jamaican market near where I live right now,' she said.
However, with five bathrooms and two studies to choose from and with staff, including security guards and a housekeeper on hand, her London lifestyle is certainly out of the ordinary.
The exquisite four-storey property opens out on to manicured lawns in the landscaped gardens. It has an open plan kitchen, a reception room and family room.

The singer was in Paris today as she unveiled her debut collection as the first black woman to head up a major Paris fashion house.
She confirmed her groundbreaking deal with LVMH, the world's largest luxury group, earlier this month.
Unveiling her first fashion designs for Fenty at a pop-up store in Paris, she said: 'This is a moment in history. It's a big deal for me and my entire generation.
'I often walk into stores and I'm like, 'I love this, but I wish it was more like that, or in a different colour or in a different fabric' - and now I get to do it. I love strong silhouettes, and for women to look confident, that's what I want to achieve with this collection.'
