Striking family home in Notting Hill

The heart of the home is the dual-aspect open-plan kitchen and dining room, which lies on the lower ground floor. Here, a contemporary aetheric reigns, with a concrete island matching the cabinetry. This complements Crittall doors that open out to the garden, blurring the boundary between inside and out. Parquet flooring runs underfoot throughout this floor, adding a touch of warmth.

The reception room lies on the raised ground level. Also dual aspect, this room is especially bright due to a combination of a bay window, French doors and soaring ceiling heights. Original features in this space include fireplaces and beautifully ornate cornicing, and the room can be divided by double wedding doors. There is access from the back to a pretty terrace overlooking the garden. A powder room completes this level.

The principal suite takes over most of the first floor, with a generous double bedroom overlooking St Luke’s Road, beautiful mirrored wardrobes, and a large ensuite bathroom with a freestanding bath. A study lies next door. Four more bedrooms lie on the third and fourth floors, two of which are ensuite. The property is topped by an exceptional roof terrace, with 360-degree views over neighbouring rooftops and the London skyline.

St Luke's Road is a pretty tree-lined street, a short walk from the eclectic shops, restaurants and bars of Westbourne Grove and Portobello Road. Westbourne Park (Hammersmith & City and Circle lines) is the closest station although Notting Hill Gate (Central line) is also nearby.
