Bridstow Place

Cottage charm with an eclectic streak: this three-bedroom house for sale is a quiet surprise in Notting Hill.

Tucked behind the heart of Westbourne Grove lies Bridstow Place. Architecturally reimagined with an eye for interior design, this is a home where the materials do the talking – from bespoke cabinetry and limewashed walls to Calacatta Viola marble and book matched Calacatta Verde stone.

A leafy front garden adds a layer of seclusion. Greenery climbs the walls and weaves through a pergola, offering a sheltered spot to sit outside. The cottage charm continues inside, albeit with a contemporary twist. A back-to-brick renovation in 2021 included new plumbing, electrics and hardwood double-glazed windows.
Morning light finds its way into the living room, where parquet floors, a fitted bookcase and a marble mantlepiece strike a classic note. Come evening, a Chesneys gas fire takes over. Reclaimed riad-style doors in weathered turquoise conceal the staircase, lending the room a more eclectic edge.

Through another pair of reclaimed doors, this time embellished with brass and copper, the kitchen makes its entrance. Craftsmanship takes centre stage: solid oak joinery, marble-inlaid ceramic floor tiles and dramatic book-matched Calacatta Viola marble sweeping across the worktops and central island. The culinary line up is just as considered, with Miele, Liebherr and Bosch appliances, plus a full-height freezer and separate fridge. Overhead glazing draws light into the dining area, where doors open back out to the front garden. Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry hides something less expected: a cloakroom wrapped in green Zellige tiles.

Upstairs, oak floors, fitted wardrobes and a statement green fireplace bring warmth and order to the principal bedroom. In the en suite, Calacatta marble meets smooth Tadelakt walls and polished chrome. Beyond, a secluded terrace is shielded from neighbouring views, with timber decking and a glazed lightwell. A second bedroom enjoys light from two aspects, with fitted wardrobes and access to a family bathroom. The third bedroom takes to the eaves, nestled beneath the sloping roofline with a walk-in shower room and access to a balcony.
