Elgin Crescent W11

Stylish and sophisticated lateral living. An eclectic update on a heritage home, this one-bedroom Notting Hill apartment is a serene springboard to and from vibrant west London.

The quintessentially Notting Hill pastel-pink exterior is an uplifting precursor to the charming tones and welcoming character found inside this home. On the lower-ground floor, enter the open-plan kitchen, living and dining room. Light washes over these social spaces through a wall of Crittal-framed windows, striking an industrial chord against the property’s period pedigree. The atmosphere is contemporary and cool, with a palette consisting of muted greys, pinks and whites. Set for culinary creativity, the kitchen is all smooth marble worktops and integrated appliances – accentuated by gold-toned finishes. Outside, a landscaped patio garden epitomises the term ‘urban oasis’, with its climbing greenery set against polished concrete.

The double bedroom uplifts as its soothes; pared-back tones and reams of light make for a thoroughly tranquil setting. Its served by a sleek bathroom, pairing stone-coloured tiling with sage joinery. With access to one of London’s most desirable communal gardens, Elgin Crescent vaunts contemporary chic with an enviable postcode.
