1 room flat of 90m² in London

Linden Gardens bears the architectural hallmarks of its esteemed Notting Hill postcode: Rows of stucco-fronted townhouses with ornate columns line the residential street. Spread across the first floor, this lateral one-bedroom apartment makes a contemporary stamp on the heritage building. From the entrance hallway, an archway introduces the galley kitchen. It’s a sleek and functional space: On one side, smooth black worktops contrast against pale cabinets; on the other, Miele appliances are seamlessly integrated. From here, warm timber floors draw you into the open-plan living and dining room beyond. Proportions impress at once, with a double-height ceiling accentuated by intricate cornicing and two large French windows. The design is pared-back yet deliberate: The whitewashed walls and dining area, black leather sofa, clean-line fireplace and free-standing television paint a thoroughly modern picture. The room’s centrepiece is a silvery spiral staircase that winds upwards to the mezzanine level – a quiet spot to be imagined as an office or reading nook. Plus, there’s direct access to a private balcony to make the most of London’s sunny days. The home’s minimalist palette is continued in the double bedroom suite. The whitewashed scheme lends attention to a trio of arched stained glass windows that sit above the bed. Echoing the living and dining room, there’s a voluminous feel to the soaring ceiling heights and mezzanine level – offering plenty of additional storage. Positioned underneath, the bathroom is finished with oversized granite tiling, a fitted tub and curved sink. Location: Located just off Notting Hill Gate, Linden Gardens – a tranquil, tree-lined street – is a springboard to and from west London. Make your way to Portobello Road for global eateries and vintage stalls; Westbourne Grove for luxury boutiques and invigorating workout spaces. The vast lawns of Hyde Park are a few minutes’ away, a year-round setting for weekend strolls. Notting Hill Gate – 4 mins (Central, Circle, District)
