3 rooms house of 587 m² in London

One for the traditionalists, this townhouse is in touch with its period roots. Behind a smart stucco frontage, antique-filled interiors reference the building’s history. There’s a lived-in feeling of comfort and cosiness to the living spaces. On the ground floor, the eat-in kitchen is well-appointed. A range cooker integrated into the chimney breast acts a centrepiece – and works in cohesion with the dark wooden floors, panelled walls and mahogany-toned worktops. Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry runs along one wall, offering ample storage. Towards the rear of the property, there are two single guest bedrooms, served by a shower and cloakroom. Both feature built-in beds, ornate wallpaper and lilac and sage hues respectively, with barn-style doors adding a country cottage feel. One leads out to a small, southeast-facing courtyard. Notably, each floor has access to outside space, meaning there’s exceptional connectivity between inside and out throughout the home. Upstairs, the first floor is devoted to a characterful reception room and study. Rich, ochre tones pop against blue and white fireplace tiles. Several built-in bookshelves lend a library-like atmosphere, while wainscoting adds to the sense of tradition and occasion. When the sun hits, step out onto the generous decked terrace. The principal bedroom also occupies its own floor. An in-room bathroom adds a touch of luxury – complete with a rare wooden bathtub that’s elevated with reclaimed brass mixer taps. An antique cupboard conceals a wash station featuring an ornately patterned ceramic sink and baroque style wallpaper. Location In walking distance of Notting Hill Gate and Kensington High Street, local amenities are in plentiful supply at Peel Street. Bookending the road, there’s the Windsor Castle and The Churchill Arms – both local favourites. Hillgate Village is on the doorstep too, home to food hotspots Mazi, Suzi Tros and Kuro Eatery. Grab a coffee at Lift en route to picking up groceries at Whole Foods Market. Or take a detour through leafy Holland Park. In the opposite direction, peruse the market stalls along Portobello Road.
