Blenheim Crescent

A lateral two-bedroom apartment for sale overlooking Notting Hill’s liveliest streets, with a spacious terrace to press pause.

Set on the corner of Blenheim Crescent and Kensington Park Road, this home puts you right in the heart of the neighbourhood. On the doorstep, an array of coffee spots, restaurants and boutiques await. Enjoy the vantage point over the street below from the first-floor reception room and kitchen. A trio of sash windows floods the open-plan living space with natural light.

Interiors designed by Katrina Phillips are calming, with an urban edge. Elevated touches including a deVOL kitchen and a linear fireplace ledge add a modern twist, while an Axel Vervoordt inspired plaster-effect wall gives a rustic, soothing finish. At the opposite end of the room, a burnished mirror splashback adds to the reclaimed feel and bounces light off the smart kitchen cabinetry.

The outside living space is just as impressive. A rare gem for a property in this neighbourhood, the lateral terrace is a private, hidden oasis. Designed by The Garden Builders, it includes a pergola wrapped in grape vines that makes for an inviting al fresco dining area, finished with outdoor lighting and millboard decking.

Back inside, both bedrooms have a calming feel. The teal-toned principal is considered, with custom-made storage and an in-built headboard. Painted in dark inky tones, the atmospheric guest bedroom could make an ideal study.
