A Hidden Country House in Notting Hill

The ground floor is devoted principally to entertaining. A 25 ft drawing room and adjoining dining room both overlook the garden, with the dining room opening directly outside, while a separate study is also found on this floor. Original cornicing, fireplaces and timber floors provide a traditional backdrop for the owners’ collection of contemporary art.

Family rooms are arranged across the lower-ground floor. The kitchen has dark cabinetry, marble worktops and a large central island. A separate media room opens onto a patio, while a gym, flower room, utility room, extensive storage and self-contained staff accommodation complete the floor.

The first floor contains the principal bedroom, which has a large dressing room, an ensuite bathroom and a further ensuite WC. Two more bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and a 23 ft sitting room and library are also found on this level. A fifth bedroom and bathroom are arranged across the second floor, alongside additional storage and loft space.

Wrapping around the house, the exceptionally large garden extends to approximately 94 ft by 54 ft. Mature trees, clipped hedging and densely planted borders give it a remarkable sense of seclusion, with several terraces providing space for outdoor dining and sitting. Beyond the garden lies the garage, while further gated parking is found at the front of the house. Planning permission has recently been approved for the addition of a large conservatory at ground-floor level.

Campden Hill Place is a discreet private address in Notting Hill. The area’s celebrated restaurants, boutiques and independent shops are all within easy reach, as are Kensington High Street and the green spaces of Holland Park.
