London, W11 2BY

Among rows of heritage candy-coloured facades, a surprising take on the typical Notting Hill home awaits. Past a raised ground-floor entrance, refreshing design unravels across the four generous floors of this family setting. An inviting reception room serves as a welcoming entrance; floods of light from dual-aspect fenestration instantly uplift. A space designed for congregating – gather around the log burner or settle by the far window for patio garden views. Daily routines continue across the lower ground level, where stone tiles sweep through an expansive family set-up. Considerately kitted out, the kitchen combines inky cabinetry with an AGA Mercury oven. Meals are best enjoyed from the dining area, backdropped by views of the patio garden. Slide back the bi-folding doors to make use of the split-level space, bordered by brick and thriving greenery. Upstairs, bedrooms are imbued with understated design. The principal suite takes over the first floor, illuminated by a steady stream of light from two sash windows. Its en suite bathroom embraces a bolder approach, with a bathtub and shower bordered in dark emerald tiling. Two further bedrooms found on the top floor – each considered and calming – are served by a shower room. Right in the heart of Notting Hill, Lonsdale Road is in tune with its vibrant location. Within minutes of your front door – workouts at SoulCycle, grocery shopping at Daylesford Organic, lunch at Ottolenghi and interior design inspiration at Soho Home. Walk a few minutes more and you’ll come to Portobello Road for vintage fashion, antiques and lively food stalls. Restaurants are in plentiful supply; Michelin-starred The Ledbury is just around the corner, together with neighbourhood favourite, Dorian. Notting Hill Gate - 11 mins (Central, Circle, District)
