1 room flat of 376 m² in London

Arranged across the ground and first floor of an impressive period townhouse, this heritage home capitalises on its framework to make the most of light and space. Across the upper level, grand proportions and natural light impress in the open-plan living area. A sleek and stately setting, the room’s pared-back palette lends attention to captivating period details – an ornate marble fireplace, original cornicing and a towering 18 ft ceiling height. Floor-to-ceiling windows bookend the space, neatly zoned into a study space and reception room that faces south towards the communal gardens. A separate galley kitchen keeps culinary endeavours a fuss-free affair, with white granite worktops and fitted appliances. Step out through glass doors to a picturesque balcony positioned for alfresco breakfasts. The bedroom sits on the home’s ground floor, an understated backdrop for rest and rejuvenation. Carved wooden wardrobes offer space for storage, while a tall sash window lends an uplifting feel. A sophisticated marble bathroom on the floor above serves this room, fitted with a bathtub and sleek black hardware. The home additionally enjoys access to the communal Stanley Gardens North. One of Notting Hill’s quieter streets, Ladbroke Gardens epitomises the grandeur of the area's architectural heritage. Within walking distance of Notting Hill’s hotspots, the vibrant thoroughfares of Westbourne Grove and Portobello Road are just a stone’s throw away. Head to SoulCycle or Bodyism for a morning workout, followed by brunch at Granger & Co. Groceries are best from Notting Hill Fish + Meat Shop or Daylesford Organic. Spend an afternoon browsing antiques stalls and boutique shops, followed by a film at the Electric Cinema. Notting Hill Gate – 10 mins (Central, Circle, District)
