Full-height glazed doors lead into the open-plan kitchen and dining room. Its dual-aspect fenestration casts sunlight across its spacious proportions, cladin golden Stereo grass wallpaper. The Boffi kitchen makes a bold industrial statement with its stainless steel island and cabinets. High-spec Gaggenau appliances, including a large wine refrigerator, are neatly integrated. The large oak dining table is tailor-made for entertaining, illuminated by a crystal and brass drop-pendant chandelier. Playful accents include the Art Deco-inspired birdseye maple sideboards and green 3D chain rug. Next door, the breakfast room is a calming space with fernwallpaper and views out to the garden beyond.
A soaring townhouse to rent imbued with avant-garde glamour. Six curated floors and a landscaped private garden.
Overview
Just around the corner from Notting Hill Gate, a mid- 19th century Italianate stucco townhouse has been brought to life with the expert eye of interior design tastemaker, Peter Mikic. Across six voluminous floors – connected by lift – layers of colour and texture make for a design-forward environment. Outdoors, award-winning landscaper Tom Stuart-Smith has shaped a private garden that’s awe-inspiring in scale and design.
The living spaces
The tone is set from the entrance, where the hallway wears hand-painted de Gournay wallpaper and restored cornicing features festoons of leaves and grapes. The double reception room occupies the entire first floor: light pours in through three floor-to-ceiling windows and scatters across antique mirrored tiles. Silk-covered walls, fine plasterwork and two marble fireplaces set a traditional register, a backdrop for eclectic art and artisanal furniture. Just outside, a home bar faces the lift lobby.
The lower-ground floor turns to family life. A television snug is carpeted and anchored by a deep L-shaped sofa; alongside it, a study lined in wood and bookshelves. A yoga room, with its own contemporary bathroom, completes the level.

Bedrooms & bathrooms
The open-plan principal bedroom and en suite bathroom exudes refined luxury. Bronze silk wallpaper is complimented by chocolate velvet curtains, whilst reclaimed mirrors and a cast-iron door frame add a storied quality to the space. The marble dual vanity and oversized shower by Dornbracht are opulent and eye-catching, behind which a dedicated dressing area features glossy walnut wardrobes.
A guest bedroom once cited by Elle Décor as their “favourite spare bedroom inthe world” is located on the third floor. Its en suite bathroom is a sophisticated affair, with a free-standing tub and marble-clad oversized shower. Another bedroom suite, with similarly haute interiors, sits next door. Two further bedrooms on the top floor are served by en suite shower rooms, both finished with colourful mosaic tiling.
Outdoor space
Crafted by award-winning landscaper Tom Stuart-Smith, the private garden is awe-inspiring in scale and design. A large stone patio ascends to a large stretch of lawn and a calming display pond. Well-maintained ash, marigold and birch trees frame the space, whilst a Jamie Forbert pavilion is positioned at the rear – perfect for alfresco dining in warmer months.
The neighbourhood
Just minutes from Notting Hill Gate and Westbourne Grove, the best of the neighbourhood is at your doorstep. Start your day with an energising class at SoulCycle, followed by brunch at Farm Girl or Beam. Local produce is best from Daylesford Organic Farm or Bens. Portobello Road vaunts a dynamic gathering of antiques traders and market stalls, with the well-loved Electric Cinema at its centre. For weekend strolls, Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens are close by. Spend an evening at Gold or Core by Clare Smyth and be home in just a few minutes.
