Portland Road

In a handsome corner of Notting Hill, a design-led home quietly redefines city living. From a private ground-level entrance, stairs lead to the first floor. Soaring to the ceiling, a large door grants access to an uplifting open-plan kitchen and reception room. Expansive sash windows draw in natural light which diffuses across whitewashed wall panelling and period proportions.

Accented with brass handles, a modern kitchen stretches across one wall. Prepare a meal using integrated appliances then pull up a Little Tulip dining chair at the round table, crowned with an oversized burnished brass light fixture. In the living area, pops of pattern and colour break the minimalistic aesthetic while a wall hanging adds an organic texture. Spend evenings entertaining or grab a good book and sink into a mid-century boucle armchair.

The tranquil principal bedroom takes the second floor and features calming tones, hardwood flooring and an ensuite bathroom with a dual vanity, a freestanding bath and a walk-in shower. A skylit staircase leads to the third floor where a guest bedroom enjoys built-in storage, stylish wall lights and a tiled en suite bathroom that benefits from a bath with an integrated rainfall shower. This bedroom also enjoys direct access to a decked roof terrace – the perfect spot for alfresco dining or simply gazing over the Notting Hill roofscape.
