The reception room is defined by its generous scale. A sweeping bay window anchors the space, its floor-to-ceiling glazing forming a dramatic backdrop for dining. Soft cinder rose walls are framed by ornate cornicing, while artful lighting draws attention to a considered collection of paintings – including portraits of Lady Dorothy Nevill herself and Robert Walpole, Britain’s first Prime Minister. Versailles-inspired sofas invite lingering afternoons; discreetly integrated televisions are concealed behind mirrored panels. In warmer weather, step out onto the wraparound balcony for a breath of fresh air.
Tucked away on Pembridge Square, this one-bedroom apartment to rent brings a cinematic sense of occasion to period grandeur.
Overview
Set among Notting Hill’s sleepier streets, this elegant home brims with aristocratic charm and remarkable provenance. Past a door knocker once owned by Lady Dorothy Nevill, a sense of history begins to reveal itself. The Nevill family lineage traces back to medieval and Tudor royalty, with echoes of this past found throughout the apartment. Time-worn wooden floors, antique portraits and carefully layered details lend a feeling of lived-in refinement.
The living spaces
Next door, the kitchen is compact yet considered. Storage is neatly concealed, appliances tucked away and every inch thoughtfully used. Colefax & Fowler green offsets bespoke blush-toned cabinetry, while a marble worktop and Miele oven introduce a contemporary counterpoint. A study with an antique French writing desk and muraled wall is primed for homeworking.
Bedrooms & bathrooms
In the principal bedroom, the mood deepens. Teal-toned walls and a Mediterranean-inspired mural create an enveloping backdrop for curated artwork and a king-sized bed. Tall windows draw in natural light by day, with heavy drapery offering privacy when evening falls.
Serving the bedroom, the family bathroom is unapologetically indulgent. A copper roll-top bath faces a discreet television, while a bespoke vanity with a London Basin Company sink adds a tailored touch. Hand-blown tiles, antique brass fittings and underfloor heating complete the experience.
Outdoor space
Alongside a small balcony, guests also enjoy access to the square’s award-winning communal gardens. There’s a fine woodland area, wild flowers and a children’s play area.
The neighbourhood
Perfectly located to enjoy the buzz of Notting Hill and the calm of Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, Pembridge Square has a best-of-both-worlds feel. Stop by Guillam Coffee House for a morning brew; then wander along to Westbourne Grove for lunch at Beam, Sumi or the Barbary. In the other direction, ever-popular Portobello Road awaits. Browse the market, catch a film at the Electric Cinema or dine at Gold.
