A sprawling stucco-fronted townhouse with contemporary finesse, just around the corner from Notting Hill’s lively Portobello Road.
Set over five floors of an imposing Notting Hill townhouse, this immaculate four-bedroom home draws on its ample volumes to deliver generous living spaces designed for family life. A sense of opulence reigns throughout, elevated by a sophisticated palette of finishes.
The double reception room is an atmospheric space for entertaining or curling up with a book in front of the fire. Divided into two distinct seating areas, its generous period proportions are accentuated by slate grey accents. Access to a cast iron-fronted terrace invites the outside in.
The open-plan dining room and kitchen is similarly expansive. Stretched across the lower ground floor, it’s a pristine backdrop for gatherings. Streamlined cabinets and a white marble-topped island offer ample cooking and preparation space. Seat a crowd at the large dining table; pendant lighting overhead sets the mood.
When the weather obliges, slide back the bi-folding doors to the smart patio garden, lined with olive trees that shade cushioned outdoor seating. Tucked away at the back, there’s a separate office that’s an ideal spot for catching up on some work.
Log off in the basement media room – a moody space with a cinematic quality. A large-screen TV sits on a panelled wall for the ultimate silver screen experience; kick back in the large L-shaped sofa. A guest bedroom and bathroom are also found on this level.
Occupying the entire first floor, the principal bedroom is the definition of luxury. With its soft carpets, inviting king-sized bed and working fireplace, every detail has been considered. Past a row of fitted wardrobes, the en suite bathroom is just as enticing. Featuring a freestanding bathtub, floor-to-ceiling mirrored wall and double basins, it offers a restorative start to the day. On the second floor, two further bedrooms with fitted storage share a shower room.
The beating heart of west London, Portobello Road’s antique traders and vintage stalls are a few paces away.
