Along Ladbroke Gardens, period townhouses speak of Notting Hill’s esteemed architectural heritage. Beyond a towering Victorian façade, this two-bedroom apartment sees heritage proportions energised with contemporary design.
Found on the fourth floor, lateral living spaces are elevated with light. A pared-back canvas for creativity, the dining and reception room is primed to be reconceived as your own. Soothing white walls, a restrained material palette and reams of natural light create a handsome framework for modern design. Sash windows span the width of the space, lending a peaceful feel to this social setting. Connected through an opening to the rear of the room, a kitchen comes backdropped by a mosaic backsplash in tonal olive hues. Stainless steel counters pair with minimalist cabinetry, while a picture window offers a leafy outlook.
Elsewhere, a subtle palette ensues through two calming bedrooms. There’s a restful feel to the principal, featuring two generous windows, soothing neutral tones and a wall of fitted wardrobes. A sophisticated family bathroom, featuring a bathtub and overhead shower, completes the apartment.
