1 room flat of 112m² in London

On the ground floor of a handsome period townhouse, this one-bedroom studio apartment is a springboard to Notting Hill. Past its stucco frontage, the open-plan reception room impresses with soaring ceiling height. A pared-back interior palette lends attention to the carefully-preserved heritage cornicing and decorative fireplace. The sweeping blonde wood floors are zoned into sleeping and seating areas, whilst sunlight is diffused through a large bay window. Through an archway, the kitchen is a minimalist setting with wood worktops and a white tile splashback. A French door opens onto a terrace, leading directly to the peaceful communal gardens beyond. Back inside, a contemporary bathroom and floor-to-ceiling storage completes this streamlined home. Location: One of Notting Hill’s peace-and-quiet streets, Ladbroke Gardens epitomises the grandeur of the area’s architectural heritage. Stroll past storied townhouses and reach Westbourne Grove – your go-to for leisurely brunches, uplifting workouts and boutique shopping. Groceries are best from Notting Hill Fish + Meat Shop or Daylesford Organic Farm. A film at Electric Cinema followed by a meal at Core by Clare Smyth – home in just a few minutes.
