A Three-Bedroom Lateral Apartment on Westbourne Gardens, Bayswater

On a quiet, tree-lined street moments from Westbourne Grove, this first-floor apartment occupies a white stucco terrace overlooking the leafy gardens of Westbourne Gardens. Spanning two adjoining buildings in an unusual lateral arrangement, the home has been reimagined to create a clever flow between well-proportioned living spaces.

At its heart is an open-plan kitchen and reception room. Four tall French doors flood the space with natural light, each opening onto a wrought-iron balcony overlooking the garden square. A dark timber island anchors the kitchen, where integrated appliances are concealed behind custom cabinetry, creating a space equally suited to entertaining and everyday life. The reception area beyond is defined by high ceilings and detailed cornicing, while a further private balcony to the rear catches the afternoon sun.

Three bedrooms are positioned away from the principal living space, forming a private wing. The principal suite has bespoke fitted wardrobes, an ensuite bathroom and direct access to its own balcony. A second bedroom also has an ensuite shower room, while the third, currently arranged as a study, is served by a separate family bathroom.

Underfloor heating runs throughout the apartment, complemented by an integrated SONOS sound system and smart home technology.

Westbourne Gardens is one of Bayswater's most desirable garden squares, moments from the shops, cafés and restaurants of Westbourne Grove, as well as Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. Residents have access to the communal gardens at the heart of the square, while Lancaster Gate, Paddington and Royal Oak stations provide connections across London and beyond.
