3 rooms house of 260m² in London

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 into the sofa to switch off. 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 a Mercury oven – bystanders note the sofa for observing. Meals are best enjoyed from the dining table, 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 Bodyism, 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 round the corner, together with neighbourhood favourite, Dorian.
