Hereford Road

Light-filled and generously proportioned, this five-bedroom house for sale in Notting Hill is threaded with greenery, moments from Westbourne Grove.

Greenery softens this house from the outside in. Its pale blue façade stands tall on the street, with plants trailing from the windows, spilling through the front railings, and a compact courtyard beyond the gated entrance. Inside, the same instinct carries through, as terraces and a patio draw in light at every turn.

Across five floors, the layout makes room for time together or apart. The drawing room takes the raised ground floor, with a stone fireplace at one end, herringbone underfoot, and glazed doors that open the room to a walled, west-facing terrace. A level down, the kitchen is calm and considered: limestone floors, wood-grain cabinetry and a teal glass splashback strung with pans. The island gathers everyone for breakfast; a glass balustrade opens the view to the floor below.

There, beneath a double-height void, the media and games room belongs to the whole household. Library-style shelving lines the far walls, there’s room enough to spread out, and French doors lead to a sheltered patio. A bedroom also sits on this floor – currently set up as a home office – with its own dedicated shower room.

Three further bedrooms are spread over the first floor, each with fitted wardrobes and a family bathroom in white tile serving them all. The top floor is given over to the principal suite, a leafy hideaway that crowns the home. Its ceiling vaults to 3.5 metres, a skylight lifts the ambiance, and doors give way to a walled terrace lined with planting. The en suite bathroom shares the view, with a freestanding tub and a grey marble rainfall shower just steps from the terrace.
