Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Not only does this home have an enviable postcode in London’s famous Notting Hill neighbourhood, but it’s in a classic white-columned townhouse typical of the area too. Rare for this part of London, there are two private roof terraces and two balconies lined with classic wrought-iron railings, so you can enjoy meals outside and cocktails overlooking the leafy green street below. Inside, you’ve got high ceilings and long French windows leading to the outdoor spaces from every room. The decor is modern and plush, with faux fur blankets draped across tufted velvet sofas and ottomans. The master bedroom in cherry-blossom pink has a bed fit for royalty, and French windows opening out onto a private balcony with a suspended egg chair. Then there are the little details, like the mezzanine snug for family movie nights and laptop-friendly desks in both bedrooms. In terms of location, you’re a ten-minute walk from the antique stalls of the famous Portobello Road. While restaurant-lined Westbourne Grove with its fine-dining establishments and trendy eateries galore is just five minutes away on foot. For a bit of greenery, the sprawling expanse of Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park is a fifteen-minute stroll away too.
