Located on a charming Regency street just a six-minute walk from Bayswater, this modern home is the perfect base for a couple or solo traveller looking to explore London. Bright, stylish and comfortable, there’s an air of boudoir chic in the living room with its wood floors draped in a fluffy carpet, colour-popping chairs and hot pink desk space. We love the large French doors here that open out onto a private garden. Sit here first thing in the morning with your morning coffee, listening to the birdsong and enjoying the sweet perfume of the jasmine plants, then set out to explore the sights. Soak up the serenity of leafy Porchester Square – just across the street – or walk fifteen minutes to wander around colourful Notting Hill and famous Portobello Road. Little Venice’s beautiful canals and waterways are also a fifteen-minute walk away, while Hyde Park is reachable in twenty. After a day of sightseeing, come back home for a soak in the tub, then head back out to your peaceful outdoor haven for sundowners and an alfresco meal.
