3 rooms flat of 488m² in London

In the heart of Notting Hill just minutes away from Portobello Road, this interior-designed, three-bedroom home is a lesson in calming minimalism. Thanks to the expert eye of 1508 London, spaces are characterised by natural materials and neutral colours, sunlight and a harmonious atmosphere. From the peaceful residential street, a set of steps leads through a portico entrance into the home’s raised ground floor. An entirely open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room occupies this storey, crafted with whitewashed walls, pale floors and dual-aspect fenestration. At one end, rich wooden cabinetry breathes warmth into the kitchen, complemented by the golden marbled splashbacks. Contemporary pendant lights illuminate the eating area, with plenty of space for hosting. In the living room, discreet storage frames a television, while French windows lead out to the terrace – acting as an extension to the interior setting. Featuring split levels and an abundance of greenery, the garden is a tranquil spot that’s tailor-made for warm weather gatherings. Stone steps lead down to the lawn, which is surrounded by verdant hedge planting and mature trees. Another set of steps descends to the lower-ground floor storey, with direct access into the principal bedroom suite. Maintaining the home’s signature pared-back palette, the principal bedroom is in every sense soothing with reams of natural light, whitewashed walls and wardrobe and bespoke wood joinery. Its en suite bathroom bears a creative streak with greyscale stone walls that wrap around a rainfall shower, plus a bathtub and dual vanity crafted from smooth marble. A sliding pocket door opens into the corridor, from which the two additional bedrooms and family bathroom can be accessed. Location With the diverse offerings of Portobello Road, Westbourne Grove and Ledbury Road just a stone’s throw away, Powis Gardens is embedded in the vibrant heart of Notting Hill. Start your morning with an artisanal pastry at Buns From Home before perusing the antiques stalls that line the stretch of Portobello Road, getting your endorphins running high at SoulCycle or catching a film at the iconic Electric Cinema. Groceries are best from Notting Hill Fish and Meat Shop, Sally Clarke’s and Daylesford Organic; if you’re eating out, local favourites include Gold, Core by Clare Smyth and the Ledbury. It’s not far to reach the lawns of Hyde Park or Holland Park, perfect for runs, dog walks and summertime picnics, and you’re well-connected by the tube to get you across the capital.
