Pembridge Crescent W11

Contemporary minimalism in a heritage home, this two-bedroom apartment in Notting Hill exudes the refined air of its sleek stucco façade.

Situated on the first floor of a picturesque period townhouse, Pembridge Crescent is a tranquil retreat just seconds from the bustle of Portobello Road. Beyond a cast-iron gate, an elegant Georgian façade conceals a lateral home that puts a twist on a contemporary minimalist aesthetic.

Accessible via stairs or lift, wooden floors pave a path to the open-plan kitchen and reception room, where heritage proportions construct a light-filled space for living and lounging. Echoing the elegant stucco exterior, bright white walls are gently contrasted by pale grey doors and skirting. Bathed in natural light, a row of five sash windows subtly divide the space. Against the neutral backdrop, a black feature fireplace with stone surround creates a striking contrast. A sense of symmetry materialises across the room, continuing in the kitchen where tall cabinets flank white countertops. Integrated appliances and a large island complete the refined culinary space.

The principal bedroom exudes tranquillity, with a pared-back palette and full-height sash windows. An elegant storage solution, the adjacent dressing room is lined with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes. Serving this room, an arresting spot-lit bathroom finished with stone and dark bronze accents features a bathtub and walk-in shower.

Bespoke fitted storage marks the entrance to the guest bedroom, where neutral tones create a serene character. White tiles line the rainfall shower in the en suite bathroom, creating a refined space.
