1 room house of 60m² in London

Set on the raised-ground floor of a tall stucco-townhouse, there’s an immediate sense of volume to this lateral home. High ceilings, detailed cornicing and a working fireplace establish the Victorian framework, while thoughtful styling keeps things light, layered and contemporary.The reception room is arranged around an original fireplace, with an expansive sash window that draws in natural light. White walls and wood floors create a gallery-like backdrop, softened by woven textures and mid-century accents. Elsewhere, the kitchen takes a more rustic turn: shaker cabinetry, butcher’s block worktops and a Belfast sink sit against painted brick, while open glass shelving lends an airy, unfussy feel. It’s practical, but considered, with direct access to the communal gardens extending the space outdoors.In the bedroom, calm prevails. Generous in scale and gently styled, it retains its original fireplace and benefits from reams of natural light. The bathroom sits adjacent, with a deep-set bathtub and overhead shower.LocationWith Portobello Road only a couple of roads away, life on Ladbroke Grove puts you right at the beating heart of Notting Hill.
