Effortlessly cool and beautifully bright, this apartment in Ladbroke Grove offers a calm retreat from the vibrancy of the city outside. We love the focus on wood in the decor that gives the open-plan living area a modern vintage vibe, along with the industrial pendant lighting and freestanding spotlight. Warm tones combine with cool neutral shades in the furnishings to create a striking contrast, while light streams in from the large glass doors that open out onto a private patio garden. This outdoor space is where you’ll want to start mornings with sunny breakfasts over chats about the day’s activities, or end evenings with a celebratory alfresco barbecue before curling up on the sofa with your favourite streaming service. When it’s time for bed, you’ll find the large comfy beds waiting to drift you into a peaceful night’s sleep with the promise of a relaxing wake-up courtesy of the bathroom’s luxurious rainfall shower. As for exploring nearby, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to cute coffee shops, cosy gastro pubs and independent boutiques galore. Explore Portobello Road Market’s rows of antique stalls (an eight-minute walk away), stroll in the footsteps of your favourite rom-com characters from Love Actually in St... Lukes Mews (a thirteen-minute walk), and enjoy an afternoon amble through leafy Holland Park, twenty-five minutes away on foot.
