Linden Gardens W2

There’s a stately feel to Linden Gardens. Step inside and explore three-bedroom maisonette in Notting Hill that strides into the 21st-century with every floor.

The third floor is an immaculate backdrop for the theatrics of modern life. Mornings pouring coffee from the integrated coffee machine, afternoons settling down in the open-plan reception and dining room. Evenings around the dining table – a built-in bunker can seat extended family. An open archway makes the living space dual aspect, following the arc of the sun. Soft-toned interiors and a minimalist aesthetic – a retreat from city life. Keep it restful or let your personality shine with open shelving. The oxford-blue and pearl-grey kitchen is anything but traditional. Polished granite counters, quality appliances and an integrated breakfast bar make it a thoroughly ergonomic space to cook in.

Three bedrooms share the fourth floor. The master is all duck-egg blues, integrated wardrobes and a laid-back atmosphere. Note the feature fireplace. The en-suite bathroom, dressed in marble, has a waterfall shower and curved, freestanding bath. Two further bedrooms share an equally sophisticated
family bathroom. From here, a winding staircase leads to a versatile roof extension. It’s the perfect home office, studio, lounge – a blank canvas. Slide back the door to the spacious decked roof terrace, backdropped by views across the city.
