Ladbroke Gardens

With a south-facing aspect and minimalist design, this three-bedroom duplex apartment for sale is set to soothe. Plus, access to the private lawns of Stanley Gardens North.

Along Ladbroke Gardens, rows of period townhouses speak of Notting Hill’s esteemed architectural heritage. Behind a well-preserved Victorian façade, this three-bedroom duplex apartment sees heritage proportions brought to life with refreshing contemporary design.

Enter on the ground floor into a voluminous open-plan kitchen and reception room. The spacious dimensions and swathes of natural light impress at once, courtesy of a floor-to-ceiling bay window that faces south towards the garden. A pared-back palette featuring pale timber floors and whitewashed walls is poised for interior creativity. At one end, the living area is centred around a clean-line fireplace neatly engineered into the wall. At the other end through an archway, the kitchen is a lesson in modern minimalism. A wall of glossy white cabinets and a metro tile splashback frame integrated appliances – it’s a sleek and streamlined culinary setting.

Beyond the living area, a terrace leads directly to Stanley Gardens North, the highly sought-after private communal gardens. A mid-19^th century trail winds around its perimeter, framed by verdant hawthorn and magnolia trees. There’s a real sense of neighbourly community here, with residents’ outdoors seating positioned along the pathway. Three bedrooms are spread across the home’s lower-ground floor. The principal bedroom suite’s aesthetic is understated and effective: pale parquet floors span the room, offset by a black fireplace which recalls that of the living area. Full-height wardrobes are finished with frosted glass doors, stretching upwards to the immaculate ceiling cornicing. From here, a door leads out onto the private patio – a secluded spot for al fresco interludes. The space is served by a contemporary en suite shower room. Two guest bedrooms, one of which enjoys direct access to a second patio, and a family bathroom complete this floor.
