Communal garden
Tucked away between lively Bayswater and Notting Hill, Leinster Square is a pocket of peace within strolling distance of restaurants, bars and boutiques. On the fourth floor (note the lift) of a Grade II listed stucco townhouse, this lateral apartment brings contemporary verve to its period framework. 
Colour and character converge in interlinked living spaces, which flow between sitting and dining rooms into a standout kitchen. There’s a real sense of ease and comfort throughout; drift between movie marathons on the huge sofa in the mint-toned lounge, and the eight-seater dining table next door. Positioned beneath two huge skylights, you can dine under the stars. For another perspective on your surroundings, enjoy the views over the award-winning communal garden square from the row of south-facing sash windows. 

The apartment’s bright tones take a temporary back seat in the kitchen. Natural light bounces off the white walls via skylights carved into the impressive butterfly vaulted ceiling, illuminating an immaculate culinary setting. Integrated Miele appliances, ample storage space and a marble-topped island take centre stage here.  

Eclectic design permeates both bedrooms. Zoned by a partition wall that separates a walk-in wardrobe from the peach-toned sleeping quarters, the spacious principal suite is a restful space. A mottled blue effect adds a playful feel to the en suite, which comes with a deep freestanding bathtub, a large rainfall shower and dual vanity. Intricately painted vine wallpaper envelopes the guest suite, giving the feel that you’re sleeping under a tree canopy. The botanical theme continues in the en suite shower room, finished in floral print wallpaper. There’s also a convenient study that can be used as an occasional bedroom, served by another en suite bathroom with a bathtub. 

For a breath of fresh air, the apartment enjoys access to leafy Leinster Square Gardens, an oasis of calm that’s perfect for picnics or a morning stretch.

Notting Hill’s most fashionable street Westbourne Grove is also on your doorstep. Brunch at Beam, stock up on essentials at Daylesford Organic or work out at Bodyism. Drinking and dining options are in plentiful supply too, from sushi at Sumi to Michelin-starred dining at The Ledbury and laid-back neighbourhood vibes at Greek taverna Aphrodite Taverna.
