London, W10 6ER

Beyond a powder-blue, stucco-fronted façade, this one-bedroom apartment is a calming sanctum in the heart of residential North Kensington. An entrance hallway, laid with parquet wood floors, leads into the open-plan reception and dining area. Natural light beams through a large bay window, illuminating the whitewashed walls and tall ceiling. To the rear of the home, a galley-style kitchen pairs form with function. Glossy stone worktops and pale cabinetry are complemented by integrated appliances and a butler sink, while large glass-framed double doors open out to the private garden. Bordered by exposed brickwork and timber fencing, the smart patio is complete with garden furniture and a hi-tech barbecue to make the most of London’s warmer months. Tranquility ensues in the bedroom, which is flooded with sunlight through an oversized sash window. Soft carpet runs underfoot, while an integrated wardrobe stretches up to the ceiling. Next door, the bathroom has a stylish edge with harlequin floor tiles, a large rainfall shower and gilded hardware. *Images feature CGI staging and are for illustrative purposes only Location Characterised by a community of committed localists, Chesterton Road enjoys enviable proximity to some of Notting Hill’s best eateries and shopping spots.
