London, W2 5RT

Arranged over the top two floors of a picturesque period terrace, this apartment sits high above the shops and boutiques of Westbourne Grove – a coveted setting in the stretch where Notting Hill loosens into Bayswater. Inside, interior architecture by Camu & Morrison brings a playful edge to the design: from the galvanised steel staircase to the pops of colour threaded throughout. The top floor is the heart of it: an open-plan reception room that capitalises on its position. Sash windows draw in daylight from the front and side, amplifying light across an all-white palette. The kitchen and dining room sits alongside, lit from above via a large central skylight. Green worktops are set against brushed steel; a snug banquette offers easy dining. From here, stairs climb to a roof garden – a private run of decking among potted planting. There’s room to dine, relax and soak up the skyline views. Two bedrooms take the home’s lower level, both restful and restrained. Three bathrooms serve the apartment – a mid-century inspired family bathroom, a shower room and cloakroom. Location With Westbourne Grove’s boutiques and brunch spots within seconds of the front door, you’re spoilt for choice here. Pick up groceries from Bens, or ease into the day with coffee at Prezzemolo e Vitale. Kickstart the weekend with brunch at Beam or Granger & Co., followed by a stroll around Hyde Park. Make a pit stop at the recently regenerated Whiteley, complete with restaurants, Everyman Cinema and Six Senses spa. On weekends, Portobello Road’s antiques dealers and food stalls are just a 10-minute walk away. Bayswater – 10 mins Royal Oak – 11 mins Queensway – 13 mins
